How to Turn Off Xbox Authentication for Your Bedrock Server

Contents

Xbox authentication is like the online-mode for Java servers, but for Bedrock servers.

If it is set to true then all connected players must be authenticated to Xbox Live.

Also, here you can find our guide explaining how to properly connect to your Bedrock server from Xbox, PS4 or Nintendo Switch.

Like on Minecraft Java servers, you can enable/disable on Bedrock Edition servers the online-mode through the server.properties file.
With this option, you can allow or deny Xbox, Minecraft Windows 10, or MCPE non-authenticated players from joining your server.
Disabling this option is not recommended because your server will run in an insecure way.
