Editing Bedrock Dedicated Server (section)

== System Requirements ==
;Operating Systems
:Windows 10 (any edition), Windows Server 2016 (tested and works as of 10/2021), Ubuntu >= 20.04
:''There is no official documentation on what the minimum or recommended system requirements are for running a bedrock server. These are assumptions based on running the server on a Windows machine and checking the resource usage.''

;Processor
:A minimum of a dual core CPU. Highly recommended to have a quad-core x86/64 bit processor that can run at least 3 GHz or higher, Intel i5 Ivy Bridge processor or newer, AMD FX-4100 or higher.

;Memory
:'''On Windows 10 or Server''', 6 GB of memory minimum for the '''operating system''' and the '''server'''. May require more memory with more than 10 players at the same time. Generally Bedrock Edition does not seem to be as memory hungry as ''Java Edition''. Unlike with ''Java Edition'', there does not seem to be a way to dedicate memory specifically to the Minecraft server as of November 2021. 

;Internet Speed
:You should have an upload speed of 5 Mbits per second to 10 players and 10 Mbits per second download. A DSL connection will likely not have the bandwidth to run server over the internet. However, if you want to run your server locally then you could do that.

;Network
:Your server should be connected to your router using an ethernet connection. You should avoid using Wi-Fi to connect your server to your router. 100 Mbit ethernet is acceptable. Gigabit LAN is not required.
:You will need to set your network as a static IP address. Your server should not be connected to your home network using DHCP unless you have mapped the address on your router. You will also need to forward the port listed below to your dedicated server. This is another reason why you want to make sure you have a static IP on the device or a static mapping on your router.
