Update your Minecraft Bedrock server in four steps: stop it, press Updates, press Bedrock Update once and wait for it to finish, then start the server on the new version.
Bedrock players can only join a server that runs the same version as their game. After a new Minecraft Bedrock release, update your server so everyone can connect again.
How to update your Minecraft Bedrock server
- Stop your server.
- Press the Updates button.
- Press the Bedrock Update button 1 time and wait for the process to finish.
- Start your server.
Press Bedrock Update only once, then let it finish before you start the server. Want a safety net first? Back up your Bedrock server before big updates.
Bedrock server update questions
How do I update my Bedrock server?
Stop the server, press the Updates button, press Bedrock Update once and wait for the process to finish, then start the server.
Why can't players join after a Minecraft update?
Bedrock clients and the server need to run the same version. If players updated their game, run the Bedrock Update on your server so it matches.
