Playing from phones and consoles on a Java server: Geyser and Floodgate

With Geyser, players from Minecraft Bedrock can join your Minecraft Java server too: from phones, tablets, Windows and consoles. You install it in the panel with one click.

Installation

1. Go to Add-ons → One click.
2. Next to Geyser click Install. The panel installs Geyser with Floodgate, assigns a separate port and sets up the configuration.
3. Restart the server.

Geyser takes one of the plan's additional ports. If the server's engine does not support it, the panel says so next to the add-on.

Floodgate

Floodgate lets Bedrock players join without a Minecraft Java account. Their names get a dot at the start, e.g. .Player123, so they do not clash with Java players.

How to connect from Bedrock

1. In Minecraft Bedrock open Play → Servers → Add Server.
2. In the address field enter the server address or its subdomain.
3. In the port field enter the Bedrock port. You find it next to Geyser in the One click tab and in Server settings → Addresses (Bedrock / Geyser, UDP).

A subdomain with the port in an SRV record only works in Java. On Bedrock always enter the port.

Consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) have no button for adding a server. Players connect through workarounds, e.g. the BedrockTogether app on a phone.

Limitations

• Bedrock players do not see modded content, so Geyser works best on servers with plugins.
• Some mechanics work differently, e.g. combat or some menus.

When Bedrock players cannot join

• Check that they enter the Bedrock port, not the Java server port.
• If the port in the configuration does not match the server's port, click Repair the configuration next to Geyser.
• After a new Minecraft Bedrock version Geyser sometimes needs an update. Open a ticket then.
