- On this page there is a third column that says "Port ", but this field will be filled in automatically by Minecraft PE.

Tips
- Even though you can play this game with a mobile data plan, you may have to spend a lot of money, and the quality of the gameplay will also decrease because of it. Always use Wi-Fi to get a consistent network connection.
- You can subscribe to "Realms" on a monthly basis for US$7.99 (approximately Rp. 100 thousand) which you can use to create and host public servers even if you are offline.
