How to Use GeyserMC

What is GeyserMC?

GeyserMC is a proxy server that enables Minecraft: Bedrock Edition players to join and play on Java Edition servers. This allows friends on platforms like PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android to connect with Java players seamlessly.

How it Works: GeyserMC translates data between Bedrock and Java, making cross-platform play possible. Note: Your Minecraft server must support Bukkit or Spigot plugins to use GeyserMC.


How to Download GeyserMC

  1. Download GeyserMC and obtain the Geyser-Spigot.jar file.

  2. Open the File Manager tab on your Game panel.

  3. Navigate to the Plugins folder.

  4. Upload Geyser-Spigot.jar to the Plugins folder.

  5. Restart your server to activate GeyserMC.


Setting Up GeyserMC

  1. Configure the Bedrock Port:

    • Go to the Network tab in the game panel.

    • Click Create Allocation to generate a new port for Bedrock players.

  2. Return to the File Manager and open the GeyserMC plugin folder.

  3. Edit config.yml:

    • Locate the port: setting and replace 19132 with your newly allocated port.

Customize MOTD and Server Name (Optional)

  • In config.yml, find motd1 and motd2 to customize your server's message of the day.

  • Edit the server-name field to set your server’s name.


Optional: Setup Floodgate for Bedrock Players

Floodgate lets Bedrock players join without a Java account.
