Cloud Server
This tutorial uses an Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit cloud server.
The server core uses the official Bedrock Dedicated Server from:
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock
Installation
Download the Server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install
# Install multi-terminal window dependency
apt install screen
apt install unzip
# Create a screen session named "mc"
screen -S mc
# Create directory and enter it
mkdir mc && cd mc
# Download server - updated August 16, 2020
wget https://minecraft.azureedge.net/bin-linux/bedrock-server-1.16.20.03.zip
# Extract the server files
unzip bedrock-server-1.16.20.03.zip
Start / Stop the Server
# Start command
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./bedrock_server
# To stop, simply type
stop
The server is now installed. You need to open port 19132 in your hosting provider’s security group to allow clients to connect.
