Preface

Back then, I always played Minecraft in a local world. Later, I learned to play with classmates over a network, but every time we had to be on the same local network.

Later, I came across an app called “Minecraft Server Box,” which was my first time joining a server to play.

After that, I had an idea: to set up my own server to play.

This demonstrates an internal network server. If you are using a public IP or cloud server, make sure to check both TCP and UDP when mapping ports. Bedrock Edition uses a different protocol than Java Edition, so please pay attention.
