Configure GeyserMC

How to configure cross-platform support on your Minecraft server.

GeyserMC is a proxy that bridges the gap between both Minecraft editions, to allow Bedrock Edition players to join Java Edition servers seamlessly.

Installing the plugins

Download both the Geyser and Floodgate plugins. Make sure you choose the version that matches your server's software and version.

Head over to the Game Panel and select "File Manager" on the sidebar menu.

Upload the plugins to your plugins folder.

Once uploaded, you now need to restart your server.

Configuring the plugins

You'll need to create a ticket to request an additional port to be opened. Once done, you can view the allocations assigned to your server. Take note of this new port, as you'll need it for Geyser to work.

Open the config.yml file within the Geyser-Spigot plugin folder to begin editing.

Locate the port: value and replace 19132 with your newly created port. If you're using the default 19132 port then you don't need to change this.

You can also edit other values such as the server name and MOTD which will show for Bedrock players. Additionally, there's numerous configuration options to tweak as desired.

Locate the auth-type: value and change it to floodgate. Technically, using Floodgate is optional, however it's recommended as it allows Bedrock players without a Java account to connect.

You can also edit other configuration options, such as the server name and MOTD displayed for Bedrock players, as desired.

Once done, click "Save File" and restart your server to update the configuration.
