Description

I am running Docker desktop on macOS. In order to connect (on my LAN) to the bedrock server from my iPhone on port 19132 I had to forward both UDP and TCP. Is this normal?

docker run -d --name=mc -e GAMEMODE=creative -e DIFFICULTY=peaceful -e EULA=TRUE -p 19132:19132/udp -p 19132:19132 -v /Users/davidmcgough/mc:/data itzg/minecraft-bedrock-server

if I exclude either -p argument I cannot connect. I am raising this issue because I don't see any mention of forwarding the TCP port in the directions.

Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate whether the Bedrock server requires TCP port forwarding in addition to UDP. Check the official documentation and community forums for this behavior. Update the documentation to mention if TCP is needed.
