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.

Research direction

Review the repository's directions for the Bedrock server and compare them with the provided docker run command, focusing on port 19132. Document whether both TCP and UDP mappings are required for LAN iPhone connections, and verify the updated instructions against this command.
