Screenshot of featured servers

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.

Server owners with registered business identities can apply for the partner program.[citation needed] Mojang Studios provides partnered servers with backend support.[1]

Featured experiences are either officially promoted by Mojang Studios with advertising such as a button on the main menu, or have recently received a major update.

Safety

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.[5]

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.
