This article is about Bedrock Edition community servers that have partnered with Mojang Studios. For public servers hosted by Mojang Studios for limited time, see Event servers. For the multiplayer software, see Server.
Featured servers are community servers for Bedrock Edition that are partnered with Mojang Studios and are accessible from the in-game server list. In the console versions, they are the only servers accessible besides Realms. They contain minigames of varying sizes and types, custom maps and spawn hubs, and they are highly customized with add-ons. Featured servers require a Microsoft account[1] and a paid online multiplayer subscription service on consoles only. However, they have microtransactions that can be purchased from their own sections of the Marketplace.
Featured servers were first added as part of 1.2.0, the Better Together Update. There are currently nine featured servers, and Mojang Studios plans to add more in the future. Server owners with registered business identities can apply for the partner program. Mojang Studios provides partnered servers with backend support.[1]
Featured servers require the player to have a Microsoft account.[1] Players can add, mute, block, and report players from the pause menu upon selecting a player's profile. The server partners work with a team of volunteers to monitor bad behavior, including bullying and cheating, and help report issues. Each server partner includes their own expanded word filter list to make their server experience appropriate for all ages. At Mojang Studios' request, all official server partners have removed private messaging, including the /tell, /msg, and /w commands, to allow more thorough moderation across all parts of the server.[3]
Language support
All featured servers automatically detect the player's language by the language set in the settings menu. Some servers may have additional ways to change the in-game language, specifically for the server the player is on.
Featured servers section has now been added as part of the new server list. At first, Mojang Studios had not yet added any of the servers, and the section displayed the text "Coming Soon".
InPvP, Lifeboat, and Mineplex have now been added as featured servers. Their sections of the Marketplace are not yet online, despite there being a button in the pause menu to access them.
