Bedrock Install Stuck

Fix Bedrock server stuck on "Starting installation process"

If your Bedrock server gets stuck on "Starting installation process" and only server.properties files appear in /home/container — with no bedrock_server binary — the main server files failed to download.

Try reinstalling first

Go to SettingsDanger Zone and click Reinstall Server. Wait for the installation to complete, then start the server again.

Manual download

If reinstalling doesn't work, download the server files manually:

  1. Go to minecraft.net/download/server/bedrock
  2. Select Minecraft Dedicated Server Software For Ubuntu (Linux)
  3. Accept the EULA and download the file
  4. Upload it to your server's main directory via Files or SFTP
  5. Right-click the file in the file manager and extract it
  6. Start your server

The bedrock_server executable should now be present and the server should start normally.
