Bedrock Server Guide

Run a Minecraft Bedrock dedicated server (BDS) on Lunify. Covers install, settings, packs and whitelisting.

1. Pick a plan

Bedrock servers are lightweight compared to Java. A 2 GB plan comfortably hosts 20 players on vanilla; pick 4 GB if you run addons or behavior packs.

Browse the hosting page and choose Bedrock when prompted for the server type.

2. Configure server.properties

Open the control panel → File Manager → server.properties. Key settings:

server-name=Lunify Bedrock
server-port=19132
max-players=20
view-distance=10
online-mode=true

Save and restart for changes to take effect.

3. Add-ons and behavior packs

Upload .mcaddon or .mcpack files via File Manager → resource_packs / behavior_packs folders. Add the pack UUID to valid_known_packs.json so the server loads it on next start.

4. Whitelisting players

Set white-list=true in server.properties, then run the console command:

whitelist add PlayerName

Players not on the list will be kicked on join.

5. Backups

Lunify takes daily off-site backups automatically. Use the control panel → Backups tab to trigger an on-demand snapshot before major changes.
