Problem Description

Issue

I’ve been trying to get a bedrock server going but ever since the update its not working. I’ve added the ports to my ubuntu firewall, port forwarded, and also done everything else possible including adding it to my server.properties. But it just says waiting and never listening

Reproduction Steps

  • setup the server
  • added UFW ports 19132, and 19134-19153 in ubuntu vm
  • also added transport=nethernet even though theres a toggle for it now
  • port forwarded the correct ports
