📂 Folders and Utilities 📂

Bedrock Servers, by default, generate 3 new directories in your FTP. If you're using another software such PocketMine-MP or NukkitX, it should generate new folders such as the " plugins " folder.

Properly, for default, it should generate:

• worlds
• resource_packs
• behavior_packs

And their Utilities:

1. worlds:
   This folder will be created at startup if it doesn't already exist. Every world created will have a folder named according to their level-name inside the server.properties file.

2. resource_packs:
   This is where new resource packs can be installed. At the moment there's no way of activating them in a level.

3. behavior_packs:
   This is where new behavior packs can be installed. At the moment there's no way of activating them in a level.
