How to enable experimental mode on a Minecraft Bedrock server

Last updated on Jul 28, 2024

Enabling experimental features on a Minecraft Bedrock server allows server administrators and players to explore and test upcoming features, enhancements, and modifications before their official release. This option provides a valuable opportunity to preview new functionalities, offer feedback, and contribute to the development process. However, it is essential to use this feature with caution as experimental elements may still contain unresolved issues or bugs that could potentially affect the gameplay experience.

Note: An FTP client is required to transfer files onto the Minecraft Bedrock server. Follow this tutorial to learn how to use an FTP client. Experiments can be unstable and may cause world corruption, lag, or server faults. Use with caution. Enabling experimental mode will also disable trophies.
