Publish a Minecraft Bedrock server without router port forwarding
Open a Minecraft Bedrock Edition server over a public UDP endpoint with Proxlane Launcher. UDP tunnels are available on Plus and Pro.
Default port
19132
Protocol
UDP
Plan
Plus or Pro
Publish step by step
- 01
Start the Bedrock server
Run Bedrock Dedicated Server and confirm its IPv4 port. The default is UDP 19132 unless server.properties was changed.
- 02
Publish the UDP port
Open Launcher, choose Minecraft Bedrock, confirm port 19132, and press Start. UDP capability requires Plus or Pro.
proxlane udp 19132 - 03
Copy the public endpoint
Copy the public UDP host and port shown by Launcher. The public port may not be the same as local port 19132.
- 04
Add the external server
On a supported Bedrock client, add an external server using the public host and port. Test from another network or device.
Bedrock uses UDP, not Java's TCP tunnel
Minecraft Java and Bedrock use different network protocols. A TCP tunnel can be healthy while Bedrock traffic fails, so select the UDP preset and the Bedrock server's UDP port.
Why UDP is a paid capability
UDP forwarding and public port allocation are enabled on Plus and Pro. Free can publish HTTP and TCP within its active-tunnel limit but cannot start a Bedrock UDP profile.
Platform limitations
The ability to add arbitrary external servers depends on the Bedrock client platform. Confirm that the client exposes the Add Server fields before relying on this workflow.
Troubleshooting
UDP profile is locked
Sign in and confirm the account has Plus or Pro capability. Billing changes may require Launcher to refresh its identity before the card unlocks.
Server does not appear online
Confirm Bedrock Dedicated Server is listening on UDP 19132 and that the selected local port matches server-port. Do not test it with an HTTP browser.
The client has no Add Server button
Some console clients restrict custom external server entries. This is a client-platform limitation rather than a tunnel failure.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Free plan publish a Bedrock server?
No. Bedrock uses UDP, and Proxlane UDP tunnels are available on Plus and Pro.
Do I share port 19132 with players?
Share the public port shown by Proxlane. It can differ from the local Bedrock port 19132.
