Want to make your Minecraft Java server playable by Bedrock players? It’s super easy! Follow this GeyserMC setup guide, guaranteed to be simple and easy to follow. 🚀

​
What is GeyserMC?

GeyserMC is a proxy that allows Minecraft Bedrock Edition players (on mobile, console, or Windows 10) to play on Minecraft Java Edition servers. Perfect for those who want to reach more players.

⚠️ Important Note: GeyserMC does not convert Minecraft Bedrock into Minecraft Java. GeyserMC only works as a bridge for connection.

​
Preparation Before Starting

  1. Spigot or Its Fork Server: Make sure your server is using Spigot, Paper, or Purpur.

  2. GeyserMC Plugin: Download the .jar file from the official GeyserMC site. This step can be skipped if you use our “Plugin Installer”.

  3. Floodgate Plugin (Optional): If you want Bedrock players to join without a Microsoft account, download Floodgate.

​
Steps to Set Up GeyserMC

Let’s get started! 💻

1

Download GeyserMC & Floodgate Plugins 📥

  1. Visit the GeyserMC site and download the GeyserMC plugin file, or you can use our “Plugin Installer” :D.

  2. If needed, also download the Floodgate plugin from the “Plugin Installer” section.

Make sure you download the version that matches your server.

2

Create a New Allocation for Bedrock Port ⚙️

  1. Log in to your server panel.

  2. Go to the Network or Allocations section.

  3. Create a new allocation for the Bedrock port.

  4. Make sure this new port is different from the Java port.

If not possible, you can use the same port as the Java port but set the bind address in the configuration file.

3

Upload Plugins to Server 📤

  1. Open the File Manager in your server panel.

  2. Go to the plugins folder.

  3. Upload the GeyserMC and Floodgate .jar files into that folder.

This step can be skipped if you use our “Plugin Installer”.

4

Restart Server 🔄

After the files are uploaded, restart your server. The GeyserMC and Floodgate plugins will automatically create configuration files.

5

Configure GeyserMC ⚙️

  1. Open the plugins/Geyser-Spigot folder.

  2. Edit the config.yml file using a text editor.

Things to configure:

  • bedrock.address: Leave it as 0.0.0.0 to accept connections from all IPs.

  • bedrock.port: Fill in with the port you created in the previous step (default: 19132).

  • remote.address: Leave it as 127.0.0.1 if GeyserMC and the Java server are on the same machine.

  • remote.port: Fill in with the Java server port (default: 25565).

Example configuration:

bedrock:
  address: 0.0.0.0
  port: 19132

remote:
  address: 127.0.0.1
  port: 25565

Don’t forget to save the changes!

Test and Finish! 🎮

  1. Restart your server again.

  2. Bedrock players can connect with the server IP address and the Bedrock port you set earlier.

  3. Check the server log to ensure there are no errors.

If everything is fine, your server now supports both Bedrock and Java players. Good luck! 😊

​
Additional Tips

  1. Floodgate: If you use the Floodgate plugin, MCBE players can join directly without logging into a Microsoft account. Just enable the “auth-type: floodgate” option in the GeyserMC config.yml file.

    remote:
auth-type: floodgate

  2. Server Performance: GeyserMC requires more resources than a regular Java server. Make sure your server has sufficient specifications.

  3. Support: If you encounter issues, check the official GeyserMC documentation or ask in their community.

Super easy, right? If you’re still confused, don’t hesitate to ask in the Minecraft community or contact the ZeroCloud support team. Good luck and happy exploring! 🚀
