What will the NEXT Minecraft Bedrock Featured Server be? (in 2022)

On minecraft bedrock edition some of the most popular servers are known as featured servers and they’re officially supported by microsoft and minecraft for essentially the past three years we’ve gotten a new featured server almost every year and i expect that the same will happen in 2022. the question though

Is what will that server be what’ll it have on it and will it be something that we’ve seen before or will it be something completely new to the bedrock edition scene in this video i’m going to attempt to answer that question i’ll talk about what information we have

Right now even if it really isn’t that much and try and draw some conclusions for what the next minecraft bedrock edition featured server might be interested let’s get started So if this video seems familiar to you that’s probably because it is about 8 months ago in may of 2021 i did a video almost exactly like this talking about what the next minecraft fedrock edition featured server might be it’s pretty much the same premise as this video

Speculating about it based on the little information that we have right now the issue is i was almost completely wrong like in almost every way i just completely miss on what the next featured server was actually going to be which was pixel paradise i want to break

Down some of my major points that i made in that video so you guys can see just how wrong i was first of all the part of the video that led to the downfall of essentially everything else was me making my own list of requirements for a server to become featured because

Microsoft doesn’t publish their own list of requirements for it the first requirement wasn’t actually that bad it was just the server must have monetizable content which kind of makes sense it needs to make money the second one however oh boy i said that the server must have

Pvp and non-pvp game modes to play and with the release of pixel paradise i think you can see just about how well that prediction went also just recently mineville completely removed their pvp mini games that they originally had on the server and now it’s just role play

And prisons and all that sort of stuff that’s two servers now that essentially don’t have pvp the third requirement though was just as bad as the second the server content must be original to an extent and once again this requirement was completely destroyed by the existence of pixel paradise i mean the

Extent of their server content started off with a reskinned sky block a reskinned prisons game mode and command block tutorial level tnt run in spleef now i know people will try and call out servers like the hive and galaxite for having their own version of a bed wars

Game mode but at the same time you can at least see that thought went into those when pixel paradise’s sister server mineville also has sky block in prisons just not island themed i know that pixel paradise has games like cook craft and guess who now but to start off

Essentially nothing on the server was original moving on from the list of requirements though another prediction that i made in last year’s video was that i thought the next minecraft bedrock edition featured server would be something called tubnet by a youtuber named tubbo it seemed like a good idea

At the time there was a lot of information and hype surrounding it and it seemed like they were making pretty good progress on being able to get it out soon as soon as i made my video however it seemed like all progress just completely stopped for the year from stalking various twitter accounts

Including tubbos it finally seems like work on tub net’s starting to pick back up but it’s still pretty unlucky that i predicted tub net to be the next featured server and then absolutely nothing happened with it for over half a year regardless this still brings up the question could tubnet ultimately be the

Next featured server like the one that we’ll possibly get this year my answer to that is probably not and i’ve made a whole new list of requirements to tell you why i think that the first requirement is honestly pretty much the same as last year’s it needs to have

Monetizable content but as we’ve been seeing a lot more it’s probably going to need a lot of it i say this because we’ve all seen mineville and pixel paradise they’re essentially pay-to-play featured servers but along with just more paid content coming to almost every server we also see things like how

Minecraft is handling their marketplace recently with all of this it’s quite apparent that microsoft enjoys money a lot i definitely understand that servers need to make money to stay up and running but at the same time based on the knowledge of featured servers that we have right now i worry about what the

Future’s going to be like for monetizable content on featured servers also obviously the monetizable content on the featured server will be purchasable with minecoins which for anyone that didn’t know is minecraft bedrock edition’s premium currency the second requirement for the next featured server is that it’s going to need to be

From someone that’s already established in the minecraft community as an example let’s take a look back at the three most recent featured servers that have been added to minecraft bedrock edition last year’s server obviously was pixel paradise which was made by npvp a company that’s been working on servers

Since the very early days of minecraft pocket edition before that the featured server that released in 2020 was galaxite made by a company called blockception who have worked on the minecraft marketplace almost since its release and before that in very late 2018 the hive released which had been

Around on java edition since 2013. even before all of those the other servers that are on minecraft bedrock edition were established as servers before they got added as feature servers it’s all down to name recognition and players want to know what they’re playing on before they go and play on it also i

Think it comes down to microsoft not really wanting to take a risk on someone that hasn’t proved themselves before and i’ll talk about what this means for the next featured server later in the video either way the third and final requirement for the next featured server

Actually took me a while to figure out i had to think of what every minecraft bedrock featured server had in common and not gonna lie that’s pretty hard however i realized that every current featured server does quite a lot with 3d models and barring one or two integrates

Them well into their servers so i think the next featured server will have to utilize 3d models and utilize them well use them as npcs use them in games use them as costumes and skins there’s so much potential for what you can do with 3d models in minecraft bedrock edition

And i feel like a new and upcoming bedrock edition server would have to be dumb to not use them with all of these requirements in mind though i feel like we can finally begin to start talking about what the next featured server in minecraft bedrock edition might be well

First let’s actually use these requirements as a process of elimination to weed out some of the servers that wouldn’t make the cut like the last video i made on this topic i feel like it can be safely said that servers like nether games and hyperlands will most certainly not become featured servers i

Know originality isn’t as big of a thing anymore since we literally have pixel paradise now but at the same time minecraft certainly isn’t going to add a hypixel rip-off to their featured servers list that’s just asking to get sued by hypixel also like i mentioned earlier i don’t think tubnet’s going to

Become a featured server either i know that in the past they’ve discussed that they’re working with 3d models and that they’re planning on coming to bedrock eventually as well but they’re not really an established server by any means microsoft would be taking quite a big risk on them and it kind of goes

Back to my requirement that i talked about earlier where i think every featured server kind of needs to be from someone that’s already established in the community first now with all of this being said i think that the next minecraft bedrock edition featured server is probably going to be from a

Partner on the marketplace they just have the best chance to be able to hit all of the requirements for being a featured server they already work with the marketplace so they’re going to be familiar with microtransactions and minecoins and i assume that if anything it’s probably going to be from one of

The larger marketplace partners meaning that they’re already established in the minecraft community and finally most of these studios already work with 3d models for skins and npcs in their games and maps one of my top picks for a marketplace creator turning into a minecraft server is knox crew i assume

Most of the people that watch this video have probably already heard of them through mcc and other events that they’ve hosted but i also think just a server made by them would be pretty good even if it wasn’t in any way mcc related they’ve made stuff like the marketplace

Map and game terrorist force in the past and i feel like that could fit really well within a bedrock edition featured server another marketplace studio that i think could make a really good featured server is gamemode 1. this is another studio that you might recognize based on

The other stuff that they’ve done in the past most notably the standalone map that they did for the sonic event last summer they also made another free map that was featured by minecraft last year called seaside story and just the overall quality of everything that they’ve made has impressed me a lot and

I feel like they could translate that into a really good featured server only time will tell though and i am very interested to see what the next minecraft bedrock edition featured server will be featured servers aren’t anything without the minecraft bedrock marketplace however and if you want to

Know about the issues that have been happening on the marketplace recently i recommend going and checking out the video that just showed up on screen that’s gonna be it for this video however so thank you all for watching and i will see you in the next one peace out you
