This article is about server software for the Bedrock editions. For official Mojang paid-for servers, see Realms. For the official server software (Alpha), see Bedrock Dedicated Server.

Unlike the official Java Edition server software, the unofficial Bedrock Edition server software usually lack many things that are present in Bedrock Edition vanilla server (built into the Bedrock Edition’s client). The servers are also free of Mojang source code. In many cases Bedrock Edition server software can outperform the official server software and can provide features beyond the capabilities of the vanilla bedrock server, like massive multiplayer experience and other interesting features. Unless stated otherwise, most Bedrock Edition server software are open source, free of charge, and free for all use, including commercial use.

Most Bedrock Edition server networks, including the featured servers, uses unofficial software as Mojang's official server software for Bedrock Edition has only been recently released and is currently in public alpha testing.

Official Server Software

On September 11, 2018, Mojang released an early alpha version of the official Bedrock Edition server software.[1]
