How to Enable Beta APIs and Experimental Features on Bedrock

Beta APIs and experimental features on Bedrock cannot be enabled directly through the server files — they must be enabled on the world itself before uploading it to your server.

Steps

Step 1 — Enable Beta APIs and Experimental Features on a local world

1. Open Minecraft Bedrock on your device.
2. Create a new world or edit an existing one.
3. Go to Experiments in the world settings.
4. Enable Beta APIs and any other experimental features you need.
5. Save and exit the world.

Step 2 — Prepare your world file

1. Locate your world folder or world file on your device.
2. If your world is a .mcworld or .mctemplate file, simply rename the file extension to .zip — no additional compression needed.
3. If your world is a folder, compress it into a .zip file.

Step 3 — Upload your world to your server

1. Go to the Files tab in your panel.
2. Upload the .zip file to your server's root directory.
3. Once uploaded, right-click the file and select Unarchive to extract it.
4. Make sure the extracted world folder name matches the level-name= value in your server.properties.
5. Restart your server.
