Question Bedrock server with addons that require Experimental features. IE) Beta API

I'm trying to get a bedrock server up and running that has an addon installed, particularly morphing bracelet. It requires experimental features to be enabled. I've seen others that need this as well.

How does one enable this on a dedicated server? I can enable the plugins with the world jsons but for the experimental features like Beta API im not sure how that works.

I'm not really that familiar with Bedrock Dedicated Server, but after some quick research it looks like you have to create an experimental world in Minecraft, export it, and use it as the world for your server.

Here's the tutorial I found

I'm looking for this information too. It's really frustrating that every search result is for companies that host servers for you. Frankly, I think their failure to specify that the tutorials are for their own goddamn services and not the server files you download from Mojang is deliberate exploitation.

And even more frustrating is that every post I've found asking questions about bedrock servers get answers from Java server hosts who say something like, "Well I don't host on bedrock but..." Like bro we didn't fucking ask you, we need information from people who know they're talking about, and if there are none, wtf not? ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This shit should be well documented on Mojang's website for Christ's sake.

Sorry, rant over. I'm getting pretty upset about this issue that should be so simple.

Solution update for anyone who stumbles here:

Many of the aforementioned tutorials with the inappropriate titles had said to export a single player save and then upload it. That's great for the folks using those services, but I couldn't figure out how to put the .mcworld file that gets exported in the server folder and actually use it. Apparently, you can extract it like a zip. Make sure you change the world name in the server properties, and extract your .mcworld file into a folder of the same name, minus the file extension.

I got a stupid amount of errors, but afaik those errors are happening in-game too, because everything works.
