# How to Set Up Geyser for Bedrock and Java Cross-Play

GeyserMC allows Minecraft Bedrock Edition players to connect to a Java Edition server. With Floodgate installed alongside Geyser, Bedrock players can join without needing a Java Edition Minecraft account.

This setup is useful when you want Java and Bedrock players to play together on the same server.

> **Requirements:** Your server must be running **Paper or Spigot**. Download the appropriate versions of [Geyser](https://geysermc.org/download) and [Floodgate](https://geysermc.org/download#floodgate) before starting.

## Install Geyser and Floodgate

1. Sign in to the game panel at `gamepanel.fourseasonshosting.com`.
2. Open your Minecraft server and stop it from the **Console** page.
3. Navigate to **Files** and open the `plugins` directory.
4. Upload both the Geyser and Floodgate JAR files. You can drag the files into the file browser or use the **Upload** button.
5. Start the server.
6. Allow the server to finish starting so Geyser and Floodgate can create their configuration files.
7. Stop the server again after it has fully started.
8. Open the **Network** section of the panel.
9. Create an additional **allocation** and note the port assigned to it. Bedrock players will use this port when connecting.
10. Return to **Files** and open:
    ```text theme={null}
    plugins/Geyser-Spigot
    ```
11. Open `config.yml`.
12. Find the Geyser `port` setting and replace its current value with the port assigned in the **Network** section.
13. Save the configuration file.
14. Start the server.

> **Can't find** `Geyser-Spigot`**?** The plugin may not have finished generating its files. Start the server again, allow it to completely finish loading, then stop it and check the `plugins` directory again.

## Connect From Minecraft Bedrock

Once Geyser is configured, Bedrock players can connect using the server address and the additional port assigned through the **Network** page.

Java players can continue connecting through the normal Java server address and port.

## Fix Bedrock Skins Not Appearing

Depending on your server and client setup, Bedrock player skins may not always display correctly for Java players.

If skins are missing, an additional client mod and server plugin can be used to improve compatibility.

The affected Bedrock player's Minecraft client must be using **Fabric** for the client-side mod.

1. Download the [Bedrock Skin Utility Mod](https://modrinth.com/mod/bedrockskinutility) and install it on the player's Fabric client.
2. Download the [Geyser Skin Manager Plugin](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/geyserskinmanager.88607/) and place it in the server's `plugins` directory.
3. Restart the server after installing the plugin.

This can help Bedrock skins display correctly when players connect through Geyser.
