Minecraft – Hosting the own server for Minecraft pocket edition

minecraft-bedrock-editionminecraft-bedrock-edition-server

With my Minecraft Pocket edition version 0.7.4 I can connect to an external server, but I'm not able to connect to a server I'm running in my computer.

I've post detailed information about my setup in another forum. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a special server to connect the pocket edition version?

You can't host a server for Minecraft Pocket Edition using the PC dedicated Minecraft server. Despite the name and visual similarity, in software terms Minecraft and Minecraft PE are completely unrelated and incompatible games.

There are currently two options for hosting a PE server:

  • Running an Android simulator on a PC and running Minecraft PE on that.
  • Using PocketMine-MP server software.
