How to enable experimental mode on your Minecraft Bedrock Edition server.

Enabling experimental mode on a server allows server administrators and players to explore and test upcoming features, enhancements, and modifications before their official release.
Experiments can be highly unstable and may cause lag, world corruption, or server faults. Make sure you're certain before enabling experiments.
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition, and create a new singleplayer world.
Go to the "Experiments" tab.
Toggle on the desired experimental features, and then create the world once done.
Once the world generates, save and quit from the world. Once you're back at the worlds menu, click on the pencil icon next to the world.
On the "Game" tab, scroll to the bottom and click "Export World".
Export the world to a folder on your device.
To get started, make sure your server is offline.
Login to the server using an SFTP client such as FileZilla.
Within your SFTP client, open the worlds folder.
Create a new directory within that folder.
Drag and drop the MCWORLD file (of the world you previously exported) into the new folder.
You can now close SFTP.
Find the following directory: /home/container/worlds/<WorldName> . You can now click on the MCWORLD file and decompress (unarchive) it.
Return to the main directory, and click on the server.properties file to edit it.
Change the level-name value to the name of your new world.
Once done, click "Save File" and restart your server to update the configuration.
If you haven't used SFTP before, you'll need to a client before proceeding.
Head over to the and select "File Manager" on the sidebar menu.
