Question

How do I make a realm for free?

Community Answer

You can’t, because after a month you would need to ‘renew' it. (Unless you make a new Xbox account every month.)

Question

How do I make this without PocketMine?

Community Answer

You can't make a server like PocketMine without using it. The only way to make a server without using PocketMine is by using server hosts that don't support Pocketmine.

Question

Can I use this method for multiple devices (for example, making the server on MCPE and connecting on Java)?

Aaron Zhou

Community Answer

No, Java and Windows 10 cannot connect with each other. There are some servers that are cross platform though.

Question

Will the server still work if I close my browser?

Aaron Zhou

Community Answer

It should work, because technically you never pressed the "stop" button. If you are on iPad, just pressing the home button will not close your browser. On a computer, switching apps is not the same thing as closing.

Question

How to connect server on Minecraft education edition on a computer?

Aaron Zhou

Community Answer

Minecraft education edition does not support servers. The only way to play multiplayer is to use a teacher account to sign in, and then host a world, and finally tell other people your join code.

Question

I can’t find the connect button on my iPad. What should I do?

Community Answer

You simply need an account, it is super easy, you go to the account making page, then you put in a username, then your password. If you want, then you can make an email, but that is not a must-do.

Question

The Aternos page is always on queue and never the connect button doesn't show up even after queuing. Why is that so?

Community Answer

Maybe your network bandwith is slow so that is why the Aternos page is in queue.You can check your network and try again. And maybe your browser is not updated and the connect button is not shown.

Question

When the realm expires, does the server expire?

Rainbow Cutie!

Community Answer

Not really. You won't be able to use the realm anymore unless you pay for it again. Your world won't be deleted, but you and your friends cannot play on it until you pay for it.

Question

What do I do if the server maker for Minecraft PE doesn't show up?

Community Answer

Restart whatever device you are on. This should allow it to show up. If not, try leaving a question on a relevant forum, in case others have had the same issue and have some workarounds.

Question

How do I host a server for free from my world in Minecraft PE?

NauticalJeans 84

Community Answer

That is not an actual server because it is a LAN server that means only up to 8 people (including you) who are connected to your network can play on your world. If you want to play on LAN, follow these steps: If you are using Wi Fi on a router or modem, have everybody connect to the router/modem. If you are using cellular data, turn on Hotspot aka Tethering and make everybody join your network. Finally, goto Minecraft, click the pencil icon beside your world, click Multiplayer and turn it on. Then click visible to LAN players if no one is signed in with their xbox. Or if everybody is signed in, it is not necessary. Signed in and non signed in players cant play together.

Question

Are worlds that have been edited able to be sent to new Minecraft servers?

NauticalJeans 84

Community Answer

Download your world and upload it to the other server. If you use Realms, it is easy. If you are using aternos, follow the steps below: Go to aternos.org/server. Turn off your server. Go to aternos.org/worlds. Click download. It will download your world as a .zip file. Open the file. Go inside the worlds folder and extract the world folder. Zip the extracted folder. Upload it to your other server.

Question

How do I use plugins on my Minecraft PE server?

NauticalJeans 84

Community Answer

Aternos no longer automatically adds pocketmine to your server automatically. However, if you want to use plugins/add ons, you will need to goto aternos.org/software and choose a server software like PocketMine or Nukkit that support plugins. Click on them and choose the version you want, then click the tick next to it (it will delete your world and reset your server options!) So, download your world before you do so). Now go to aternos.org/addons and search for the addon you want. Aternos does not allow you to upload your own plugins. Click the plugin you want and install the version you want.

Question

What do I do if I connected but I am a member, not an operator? How do I change that?

Community Answer

If you own the server/realm, you should be able to change that in the settings. Press settings, then game, then find the options that say member, then change it to Operator.(If you don't own the realm, ask the owner to change your position. Otherwise, you can't change it.)

Question

How do I add mods to my Minecraft PE server?

Gurnoor

Community Answer

Download it from Google then you need to install Zarchiver from play store (free app). After that, check that the mod or add-on you installed on. Mc add-on /.behavior /.resource. If you file type is same as any of one then click them. Open, then select mcpe. If not, you can download a mod, in .Zip. Then extract that file using Zarchiver/ After that, the folder you get is written something like: RESOURCE or maybe BEHAVIOUR. After that, copy one of them first and go back by tapping .../ And at your default Zarchiver screen (where you see Android and a download folder), you will see there that you get a games folder. Go there >com.mojang and if you copied the resource folder, you will see a resource folder. Go and paste it in the same way.
