Bedrock Server Setup: For Phone, Console and Windows Players

Set up the official Bedrock server, configure server.properties, invite friends, and understand how it differs from a Java server.

Verificado: Bedrock Dedicated Server 1.21.xProtocol UDP

Bedrock is the edition that runs on phones, tablets, Windows 10/11 and consoles. Although it looks like the same game as Java, it uses entirely separate server software: behavior packs instead of plugins, UDP instead of TCP, a compiled binary instead of a jar. Knowing these differences saves the hours usually lost trying to apply Java guides to Bedrock.

Install ViaVersion

Downloads ViaVersion from Modrinth to your compatible Java server.

  • A compatible ViaVersion build is downloaded into the plugins folder
  • Support for clients on different versions is enabled after a restart

El servidor debe reiniciarse para que este cambio surta efecto.

Si tienes un servicio de Clodo, puedes aplicar estos pasos sin tocar una terminal. Siempre verás el diff antes de que se escriba nada.

Inviting your friends#

1

Get the player's Xbox gamertag

On Bedrock, players are identified by their Xbox account. Ask for the exact gamertag, not the display name shown in-game.

2

Add them to the allow list from the console

Type the command below in the panel console. It works even if the player has never connected before.

Panel konsolu
allowlist add OyuncuGamertag
allowlist reload
allowlist list
3

Share the server address

The player goes to Play > Servers > Add Server in Minecraft and enters the IP and UDP port shown in the panel. They must not leave the port field empty; the default 19132 is usually not correct.

Solución de problemas

Síntoma

Server not found / Unable to connect to world

Causa

The wrong port was entered, or the player's game version differs from the server's.

Solución

Have them enter the exact port shown in the panel and compare both versions.

Síntoma

Connects on console but not on phone

Causa

Some mobile carriers restrict high-numbered UDP ports.

Solución

Ask the player to try over Wi-Fi; if it persists, request a different port allocation.

Síntoma

Player is on the allow list but cannot join

Causa

The gamertag is misspelled, or allowlist reload was never run.

Solución

Verify with allowlist list; gamertags are not case sensitive but spaces matter.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can Java and Bedrock players share one server?

Not directly. You need Geyser and Floodgate on the Java side; Geyser translates Bedrock packets into the Java protocol. The Velocity and Geyser guide covers that setup step by step.

Can I install plugins on a Bedrock server?

Not in the Java sense. The official server is extended through behavior packs and the script API, which is far more limited than the plugin ecosystem. If plugins are a hard requirement, a Java + Geyser setup fits better.
