Template:Missing information Template:Infobox program
Bedrock Dedicated Server (or BDS for short) is the server software used to host a Template:BE Minecraft:server. It is distributed by Mojang and can be downloaded free of charge. It is available for Windows and Linux, and has both a release and a preview version.
Contents
The server software is distributed as a ZIP archive, which includes initial data, including the primary Minecraft:server.properties configuration file, and the executable. The software keeps data in the working directory, and expects the initial data to be present there.

System requirements
- Operating system
- Windows: Windows 10 version 10.0.15063 or later, or Windows Server 2016 or later
- Linux: Only Ubuntu 22.04 or later is officially supported, but the program will run on any Linux distribution for the x86-64 architecture that has correct libraries installed (including glibc 2.35 or later).
- Processor
- A minimum of a dual core CPU. Highly recommended to have a quad-core x86/64 bit processor that can run at least 3 GHz or higher, Intel i5 Ivy Bridge processor or newer, AMD FX-4100 or higher. Minimum requirements are Intel Core i3 3210, or AMD A8 7600 APU or equivalent.
- Memory
- 4 GB of memory minimum. May require more memory with more than 10 players at the same time. Generally, Bedrock Edition does not seem to be as memory hungry as Java Edition. Unlike with Java Edition server software, there is no way to specify initial startup and maximum memory values.
- Internet speed
- A speed of 5 Mbps upload and 10 Mbps download per 10 players. A DSL connection will likely not have the bandwidth to run a server over the internet. An internet connection is not required to host a server on a LAN.
- Network
- An ethernet connection tends to be faster and more stable than a Wi-Fi connection. 100 Mbps Ethernet is acceptable. Gigabit LAN is not required.
- The computer hosting the server should be assigned a static IP address on the network, rather than using DHCP.
- To allow clients to connect to the server over the internet, the port used by the server needs to be forwarded.
- Storage
- 180 MB free storage space is required, but 1 GB is recommended when using multiple or large worlds.
Connection
Template:Seealso BDS uses UDP, unlike Java Edition which uses TCP. The default port for IPv4 is 19132 and the default port for IPv6 is 19133; these can be changed in Template:Cd. Players on the Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch versions can only connect though a custom DNS or a LAN connection.
Allowlist
Template:Main Enabling the allowlist allows for only approved accounts to connect to the server. A client must be signed into an allowed Minecraft account in order to connect to a server with the allowlist enabled.
The bedrock_server_how_to.html file bundled with the server download contains more information about allowlists.

Limitations
This server software has some limitations compared to regular Bedrock Edition multiplayer or the Java Edition Minecraft:server.jar:<ref>https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360059965732-Expand-Bedrock-Dedicated-Server-BDS-Configuration-Customization-Options</ref>
- The Template:Cmd command cannot reload the server like the Java server to prevent the server from crashing. As a result, the server needs to be restarted every time the server settings are readjusted, or plug-ins are added.
- Doesn't have a server invite system that allows in-game Minecraft:friends, including from consoles, to connect like Minecraft:Realms.
- Doesn't support Minecraft:remote console (RCON), which allows sending Minecraft:commands remotely from external sources.
- Doesn't support Minecraft:SRV record for a domain name, which allows connecting to a server using an Template:W without specifying a port manually.
- Doesn't support setting the server's Minecraft:message of the day (MOTD), even though the feature itself is supported by the Bedrock client, as seen in Bedrock Edition's server list.
- The server has poor support of community Minecraft:mods or plugins, unlike Java Edition, which has a larger community and matured over the years, e.g., Spigot and PaperMC. Additionally, players may resort to GeyserMC, which allows cross-compatibility for Bedrock Edition players to join a Java Edition server.
- An alternative to plugins is the Minecraft:Scripting API provided by Minecraft:add-ons.
- The performance of BDS is poor on some multi-core server CPUs with low clock speed. On the contrary, some high clock speed desktop CPUs with stronger single core performance are more suitable for running BDS.
- In the case of high load (for example, a large number of entities accumulate / load complex chunks), sometimes the server suddenly has a very low CPU utilization, but the whole server is stuck.
History
The server follows the client's release cycle.<ref>https://discordapp.com/channels/302094807046684672/489043421072195585/489067565843349504</ref>Template:Better source Template:HistoryTable
