Cannot connect to Bedrock server from client on Mac M1 (arm64)

[kureha8827]

Hello, thank you very much for providing this great project.

I'm currently trying to run a Bedrock server on a Mac M1 (arm64) using the itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server image. I am specifying --platform linux/amd64 in order to run the container, and the server seems to start correctly without any errors in the logs.

However, I am unable to connect to the server from a Windows Minecraft client. I have already confirmed that this is not a firewall issue.

Here are the environment details and logs:

Host Environment

$ uname -m
arm64

$ docker version --format '{{.Server.Arch}}'
arm64

Run Command

docker run -d -it \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  -e EULA=TRUE \
  -p 19132:19132/udp \
  -v mc-bedrock-data:/data \
  itzg/minecraft-bedrock-server

Log Output (from docker logs)

[2025-07-28 11:42:12:588 INFO] IPv4 supported, port: 19132: Used for gameplay and LAN discovery
[2025-07-28 11:42:12:654 INFO] Server started.

Everything appears to be working on the surface, but the Minecraft client cannot connect to the server. I'm wondering if this might be related to platform compatibility with M1 Macs or limitations when using --platform linux/amd64.

Additionally, I could not figure out how to view the log files inside the /data volume. If there's a way to inspect those logs for more information, I'd appreciate any guidance on how to do that.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,

The inter-platform connectivity will be fine. The only thought I had was networking/firewall but you said you already checked that. You might find some helpful ideas searching the internet for non-container scenarios like this.

I am also getting the same issue not only on Docker Desktop but also on OrbStack. Could it be how Docker and OrbStack handles networking?

I did a fresh install of Docker and Docker Desktop without OrbStack and I got no issues. Maybe there is a conflict between Docker and OrbStack?

Also, I did not need to specify the platform when pulling the image.
