## What it is
A Docker image that packages and manages Mojang's Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server, with automatic version selection and upgrades at container startup. It supports Docker Compose and Kubernetes deployments and exposes the standard Bedrock UDP port.

## Use cases
- run a minecraft bedrock server in docker
- self-host a bedrock dedicated server
- automatically upgrade minecraft bedrock server version
- deploy a minecraft server with docker compose or kubernetes
- host a bedrock server for friends on a home server

## When to choose
- you want a containerized Bedrock server with easy version pinning or auto-upgrades
- you already manage services with Docker Compose or Kubernetes
- you want the server software fetched directly from Mojang at startup

## When to avoid
- you need a Minecraft Java Edition server (use itzg/docker-minecraft-server instead)
- you cannot run Docker or containers on your host
- you need a fully offline setup without downloading Mojang's server at startup

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: container-runtime, deployment, self-hosted, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, self-hosted
