A Bedrock server keeps one world running for all of them, so friends on a phone, a console and a PC can build together without anyone hosting from their own device. Realms can do something similar, but a dedicated server gives you the files, the console, add-ons, more players and a world you can download whenever you like. We run Mojang's own Bedrock Dedicated Server, the same software Mojang publishes for server owners. It is written in native code, so it needs far less memory than a Java server: 2 GB comfortably holds a group of friends, and RAM only becomes the limit with big explored worlds, heavy add-ons or crowds of 25 players or more. The catch with Bedrock is versions. Phones and consoles update Minecraft automatically, and a player on a newer version cannot join an older server. When a new Minecraft update lands, click Update game in the dashboard: it backs up your world, installs the newest server and keeps your world, allowlist and settings. ## FAQ ### How much does a Minecraft Bedrock server cost? Minecraft Bedrock servers start at $1.25 for 3 days, with no subscription. Monthly plans are 2 GB for up to 5 players at $4.99, 4 GB for up to 12 players at $9.99 and 6 GB for up to 25 players at $14.99. Pay monthly or prepaid, split the bill with friends, and cancel any time. ### Do players need to download add-ons to join? No. Resource packs download automatically when they join, and behavior packs run on the server. ### Can I use add-ons from CurseForge or MCPEDL? Yes, as long as they are Bedrock add-ons in .mcaddon or .mcpack format and support your Minecraft version. ### Why does my add-on do nothing in game? Check that World name matches the folder where you edited the pack files, and that you used the uuid from the header section of manifest.json. ### Can I use Marketplace add-ons? No. Marketplace worlds and add-ons are licensed to your account and are meant for Realms, not for copying onto dedicated servers. ### Do Java mods or plugins work? No. .jar mods and Paper plugins never work on Bedrock. For those, run our Java server and add Geyser so Bedrock players can join. ### Can I add an add-on to an existing world? Yes. Upload the packs and list them in the world's pack files. Back up first, because removing an add-on later can leave its blocks or mobs broken. ### Can PlayStation, Xbox and Switch players join? Yes, they play on the server like anyone else. Consoles just have no Add Server button, so console players use the free BedrockConnect DNS method to type in the address, or an app like BedrockTogether or Phantom that lists the server under Friends or LAN games. ### Can Java Edition players join? No. Bedrock Dedicated Server only accepts Bedrock players. If your group mixes Java and Bedrock, pick our Minecraft: Java Edition server and add Geyser, which lets Bedrock players join a Java world. ### Why does it say "Outdated server"? Minecraft updated on your device and the server is still on the older version. Click Update game in the dashboard. Your world is backed up first and kept. ### Can my friends and I split the cost? Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee. ### Can I build a custom plan? Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it. ### Can I pay once instead of a subscription? Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch. ### How fast is setup, really? Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
