Changelogο
Note
Format Change: As of version 3.7.2, we have moved to automated changelog generation. Detailed implementation notes are now located within the linked GitHub Pull Requests.
3.8.0ο
Released on 2026-02-26 - GitHub - PyPI
Warning
Python 3.11+ required
Tip
Try out the new UI now!
This release introduces a new React based UI that greatly enhances the user experience.
The goal is to have the new UI completely replace the current legacy ui by 3.9.0
To navigate back to the legacy UI simply use the Legacy UI (DEPRECATED) link at the bottom of the webpage.
Note
This release also fixes a Server Permissions bug which caused no players to show up when the permissions.json is empty (excluded global players)
Tip
Its recommended to run the migrate old-config command to clean up some unused settings in the database
New UI Improvements:
- Added Global Players page which allows manually adding players to the global db, or trigger a scan
- Added Audit Log page which shows user actions, app logs, background tasks
- Improved Monitor page to show bedrock logs and quick action buttons
- Merged Worlds/Addons pages to use tabs, allows uploading content when Content Uploader plugin is enabled
- Merged Allowlist/Permissions pages into Access Control, permissions tab has been improved to allow manually adding Name and XXUID to server permissions
- Improved Properties page with search and custom properties entry
- New plugin page system, now plugin routers can respond a json ui for the V2 frontend to render (legacy plugin pages use iframe in new ui)

Important Notices & Breaking Changes
Stop servers before updating!
-
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed CLI Plugin support
-
Requires the BSM app to always be running (A System Service for the web server is recommended
bedrock-server-manager web service configure) -
Its recommended to run the
bedrock-server-manager migrate old-configcommand after updating to 3.6.0 to ensure smooth migration- If you plan on using an external database, you should run the
bedrock-server-manager setupcommand first before running thebedrock-server-manager migrate old-configcommand - After running this command you should also run the
bedrock-server-manager setupcommand to ensure basic migration was successful
- If you plan on using an external database, you should run the
Core Architectural Changes
- Moved most of the CLI commands to the
bsm-api-client[cli]package - Refactored most of the app away from global singletons to a passed around
AppContextobject - Added gracefull shutdown for BSM
- Shuts down all running bedrock servers
- Unloads all plugins
- Web server now starts without needing any setup
Database and Configuration Migration
- Database migrations
Using the default database has been observed to cause slow loadding times for the web server on some systems, if you experience this issue, consider using an external database such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.- Migrated BSM from a JSON based config to a SQLite database
- Use default included
bedrock_server_manager.dbor use your own external database - Automatically migrates from the old JSON config to the new database
- All json config files are now stored in the database
- This includes the global config, server configs, and plugin configs, player configs
- All environment variables are now stored in the database
- Web server environment variables are now stored in the database and are auto migrated to the database
- App Data Directory is now stored in a seperate json file in the users
%APPDATA%directory (~/.config/bedrock-server-manageron linux,~/AppData/local/bedrock-server-manageron Windows)- Database URL is also stored in this file
- Added
migratecommandmigrate databsecommand to migrate the database to new versions as needed (for future updates)migrate old-configcommand to migrate from the old JSON config (<V3.5) to the new database- This command will migrate the following:
bedrock_server_manager.json(global config)<server_name>_config.json(server configs)players.json(global player)plugins.json(plugins)`BEDROCK_SERVER_MANAGER_DATA_DIR(app data directory)BEDROCK_SERVER_MANAGER_USERNAME,BEDROCK_SERVER_MANAGER_PASSWORD,BEDROCK_SERVER_MANAGER_TOKEN(web auth environment variables)- Bedrock Server System Services
- This command will migrate the following:
- Added
setupcommand to setup App config- Sets up the App Data Directory and database URL, Web Host and Port, system service
Server Management
- Revamped server start methods
- Now uses a generic process open instead of complex platform specific named pipe methods
- This vastly improves cross platform compatibility
- System Services for individual servers will no longer work, is now handled by the
autostart_pluginduring BSM startup
- Now uses a generic process open instead of complex platform specific named pipe methods
- Added crash restarts
- Bedrock servers will now restart if they crashed
Multi-User and Access Control
- Added Multi user support with Access Control
- Admins can now create and manage users with different access levels
- Current access levels:
- Admin: Full access to full application
- Moderator: Limited to basic server management not including updates, installs, or content management
- User: Limited to view privileges, can only view basic data
- Current access levels:
- Admins can create a registration link for users to register
- Link is valid for 24 hours
- Admins can enable/disable user accounts, and change their roles
- Admins can now create and manage users with different access levels
- Themes are now user specific
- Each user can now have their own theme
System Service Improvements
- Improved system service support
- On Windows you can now enter account credentials to run the service as a specific user
- Added
--systemflag for linux to create a systemd service for the web server on the system level
Plugin and Developer Updates
- If you're a plugin developer with FASTAPI plugins, you should update your plugins to use the new
get_current_user,get_admin_user,get_moderator_userdependency to ensure proper access control - Added the
server_lifecycle_manageras a Plugin Method- A context manager useful for plugins that need to perform actions on servers the requires the server to be stopped
- The
get_*_instancefunctions ininstances.pyhave been deprecated (will be removed in 3.7.0)- Instead the AppContext object (created in the CLI app) is passed around to all functions
- FastAPI plugins can access the
AppContextobject viaapp.state.app_context
- Added
app_contextto thePluginAPIclass, plugins can now access the AppContext object to access the current app state withself.api.app_context- AppContext will be automatically passed to all plugin methods
- Plugins are now only loaded during the web server startup, no longer during the CLI app startup
Other Backend Changes
- Various backend changes such as:
- Object based authentication
- Changes routers to use the new
get_current_user,get_admin_user,get_moderator_userdependencies - Added
AppContextobject- This object holds the current app state such as:

BREAKING CHANGE: WEB USERS
If you are using the web server, you must regenerate your password hash and auth tokens.
Documentation for the Bedrock Server Manager (BSM) has been completely revamped and is now available at:
Main: [https://bedrock-server-manager.readthedocs.io/](https://bedrock-server-manager.readthedocs.io/)
Mirror: [https://dmedina559.github.io/bedrock-server-manager/](https://dmedina559.github.io/bedrock-server-manager/)
-
CLI/WEB Plugins: Experimental support for custom CLI and Web plugins
When using these new plugin types that extend Bedrock Server Manager (BSM) functionality, exercise caution during installation and execution. Always ensure you understand the plugin's operations before running it.Plugins that add web endpoints have the potential to expose sensitive data. If you're developing such a plugin, it's highly recommended to use the `bedrock_server_manager.web` `get_current_user` dependencies within your FastAPI routers. This helps secure your endpoints with the same authentication system the main web app uses.- Plugins can add custom CLI commands or entities to the CLI menu
- Plugins can add custom web API endpoints/UI menus
- New default plugin: Upload Content Plugin (disabled by default)
- Support for package format plugin
- In addition to the standalone py file plugins, support for plugins in a python package format has been added
-
Windows Service:
Running Bedrock Server Manager components (Web UI, individual Bedrock Servers) as Windows Services allows them to run in the background, start automatically on boot, and be managed by the Windows Service Control Manager.
It is **highly recommended** to use a Python installation downloaded from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) rather than the version available from the Microsoft Store. The Microsoft Store version of Python has been observed to cause significant file locking issues when used with Windows Services, preventing other Python scripts or applications (including new BSM CLI sessions) from running correctly, even when using virtual environments. Using the python.org installer typically avoids these specific locking problems.- General Considerations:
- Administrator Privileges: Creating, configuring, starting, and stopping Windows services requires Administrator privileges. You can achieve this by:
- Running your Command Prompt or PowerShell as an Administrator before executing bsm commands.
- Using the sudo command on recent versions of Windows if you have it configured.
- Service Account: By default, services created by BSM might be configured to run as the "Local System" account. For Bedrock servers, which often need to access user-specific paths for server files, content, and backups (e.g., in your user profile or a directory your user owns), it is usually necessary to change the service's "Log On As" account to your local Windows user account. This can be done via the Services app (services.msc) after the service has been created by BSM. This step ensures the service has the correct permissions. Failure to do this is a common cause of services not starting or functioning correctly.
- Administrator Privileges: Creating, configuring, starting, and stopping Windows services requires Administrator privileges. You can achieve this by:
- General Considerations:
-
Web server as a service:
- Create a system service (Systemd on Linux / Windows Service).
- On Linux, you'll need to manually create an environment file with your BSM environment variables and add the
EnvironmentFile=line to your systemd file. - The
hostwill be read from the JSON config file. - On Windows, uvicorn workers will default to 1 instead of the configured settings value.
-
Web UI Themes:
-
Added support for custom themes in the Web UI.
-
Themes can be placed in the
themesdirectory. -
The Web UI will automatically list them in the settings menu.
-
Various themes are available, including:
darklightredblueyellowgreenblackgradient
-
The default theme is
darktheme (original OreUI insipred).
-
-
Config JSON migrations:
- The global
script_config.jsonhas been renamed tobedrock_server_manager.json. - Global settings have been migrated to a new nested format. A backup will be created, and an auto-migration will be attempted.
- Server config JSONs have been migrated to a new nested format. Auto-migration will be attempted, and any custom config options will be moved to a nested
customsection. - Added
web_server_hostto config. If the web server is started without a host argument, it will read from the JSON file. BASE_DIRhas been migrated topaths.servers.
- The global
-
Background Task:
- API routes for
update,start,stop, and other long running endpoints have been converted to FastAPI's BackgroundTasks for better responsiveness. - As a result Web APIs now instantly return a success response instead of the actual result for the task. In future versions, these endpoints will be updated to handle this.
- API routes for
-
New plugin APIs:
- APIs to read global and server configurations.
- API to set custom global and server configurations.
-
Custom Bedrock Server Zips
- Added support for custom Bedrock Server zips.
- These can be placed in the
DOWNLOAD_DIR/customdirectory. - The Web/CLI UI will automatically list them in the server creation, when target version is set to
CUSTOM.
-
Fixed world icon API route path typo:
word->world. -
Plugin Event: The
before_server_stopevent no longer uses themodevariable. -
Added a settings menu to the Web UI.
{note} Not all settings (like web host/port) will be reloaded on the fly. These require a full application restart to take effect. -
BREAKING CHANGE: Migrated Flask to FastAPI for the Web API.
- This allows for better performance and more modern features.
- The Web UI has been updated to work with the new FastAPI routes.
- Always up-to-date HTTP API docs are now available in the Web UI footer
HTTP APIlink or athttp(s)/bs.host.url/docs. - The OpenAPI json are also available at
http(s)/bs.host.url/api/openapi.json. - Switched to
uvicornas the ASGI server for the Web API. - Switched to
bcryptfor password hashing in the Web API.- This requires you to regenerate your password hash and auth tokens.
-
BREAKING CHANGE:
/api/loginhas been changed to/auth/token -
Noteworthy change:
/api/plugins/reloadmethod changed toPUTinstead ofPOST.
3.4.1ο
Released on 2025-06-25 - GitHub - PyPI

- For simplicity, documentation has been removed from the web server and moved to the repository's
/docsfolder.
3.4.0ο
Released on 2025-06-25 - GitHub - PyPI
STOP SERVERS BEFORE UPDATING
-
BREAKING CHANGE: Linux
systemdservice files have been changed.- You must reconfigure autostart (
autostart --reconfigure) to update yoursystemdservice files. - This is due to the service
typebeing changed fromforkingtosimple. - BSM now directly manages the
bedrock_serverprocess, andscreenhas been removed as a dependency. You can uninstall it withsudo apt remove screen. - A note to Linux users: I apologize for the repeated
systemdreconfigurations, but this should be the last time!
- You must reconfigure autostart (
-
The biggest feature since the web server: PLUGINS!
- Plugins are a new way to extend BSM's functionality.
- Install plugins by placing the
.pyfile in the plugins folder (e.g.,~/bedrock-server-manager/plugins). - Enable/disable plugins in
plugins.jsonlocated in the config directory (e.g.,~/bedrock-server-manager/.config). Plugins are disabled by default. - See the Plugin Documentation for details.
- See default plugins for examples.
- Added a
plugincommand to the CLI. See the updated CLI Commands. - Added plugin management to the CLI and Web UI.
- Default plugins are included and can be enabled, disabled, or overridden.
- A custom event system allows plugins to communicate with each other and external sources.
-
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed
/restore/allroute. This is now part of the/restore/actionroute, whereallis a type parameter in the JSON body. -
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed
/world_nameroute. Use the get properties route instead. -
Changed
/backups/list/to/backup/list/. -
Optimized various HTML routes. Pages now render faster, with data being pulled dynamically via JavaScript. The servers table in the Web UI updates automatically without a page refresh.
-
Improved resource usage monitoring by refactoring it into a generic
ResourceMonitorclass. -
Improved filesystem functions by using
threading.Lockto prevent race conditions.
