As of mid-2024, Apex Hosting no longer supports Bedrock plugin-based servers like PocketMine, Nukkit, or PowerNukkitX.We recommend using a Java Edition server with the GeyserMC plugin, which allows Bedrock players to join Java servers and use Java plugins.
If a server is already on a Bedrock Dedicated Server, you can convert it to Java Edition. However, since Bedrock and Java worlds aren’t directly compatible, the world must be converted using a tool like Chunker.
Please note that conversions aren’t always perfect and may have issues.
Overview
In Minecraft, one of the most exciting versions is Bedrock Edition. With Bedrock Edition, you can play Minecraft on your phone and your computer. Now while this version of Minecraft does have the cross-compatibility that normal Java Edition does not have, you are not able to modify the gameplay as far as you can with Java. However, with Nukkit, you can add plugins to even your Bedrock Edition server. This is a server software for Pocket Edition that does have some advantages on similar versions like Pocketmine. It is written in Java which means it is much faster and far more stable than Pocketmine. The plugins are also very up to date in this version, so you should be able to find all of the plugins you may need on your server! Nukkit can be installed with one-click on the Apex Game Panel. In this guide, we will be walking you through how you can install Nukkit on your server.
How to install Nukkit
