Hello,

I am running a bedrock dedicated server. I am tapping into Scripting API to learn about its possibilities.

I have created an addon which works perfectly fine on the local game copy, but it fails to fully operate on the server. The behaviour is quite strange, so I searched for a resolution but to no avail.

When I say fully, I mean that the Client Script side works fine, but the Server Script side does not respond at all. As if it didn't exist.

I tried a few variants finally resorting to the bare minimum which simply listens for an event and then displays a message in the chat. That didn't work either.

Again, the Client Script works and if I call a chat message in the "minecraft:client_entered_world" event, it shows just fine. 

I have been pulling my hairs out for a few days now trying to find the root of the issue. Then I waved a white flag and came here.

1. I checked server file permissions to make sure the server can execute all its files.
2. I tried to run the addon from [server]/behavior_packs, [server]/worlds/[world]/behavior_packs
3. I experimented with versions and other settings in JSON files e.g. valid_known_packs.json or world_behavior_packs.json
4. I tried installing the addon manually but also importing the world from the local game copy to the server
5. I enabled/disable the experimental game mode on the server.
6. ... and everything in between.

Noting did the trick. Below I attach my code and server details so you can join in and see yourself.

What am I missing?

const system = client.registerSystem(0, 0);

system.initialize = function() {
this.listenForEvent("minecraft:client_entered_world", (eventData) => this.onStartSetup(eventData));
this.registerEventData("Kox:startSetup", {});
};

system.onStartSetup = function(eventData) {
let playerData = this.createEventData("Kox:startSetup");
playerData.data = eventData.data;
this.broadcastEvent("Kox:startSetup", playerData);
};

var system = server.registerSystem(0, 0);

system.initialize = function () {
this.listenForEvent("Kox:startSetup", eventData => this.onStartServerSetup(eventData));
};

system.onStartServerSetup = function (eventData) {
let chatEventData = this.createEventData("minecraft:display_chat_event");
chatEventData.data.message = "Yes, I am here!";
this.broadcastEvent("minecraft:display_chat_event", chatEventData);
};
