Hello there! I’ve been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).
I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can’t remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don’t see a “custom server” option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?
TIA
I know a whole bunch about doing this with the Java version, but absolutely zero about doing it with bedrock.
In the Java version though, it just exposes Minecraft on a specific port and then you just connect your Minecraft client to that port.
Do you know of any android free clients that can be used to connect to a java version server?
I don’t think that’s a thing. Sorry If it is, cool.

@Im_old @thebardingreen if the Java server has Geyser installed then bedrock clients can connect to it, even the Android version. I have a server for friends. Some people without internet connections just use the android Version to connect. Only caveat is that some of the newer bedrock skins don’t display properly.
