Essential Components
To enable crossplay, you need two distinct plugins:- Geyser: The translator that handles the network protocols.
- Floodgate: Allows Bedrock players to join without needing a Java account, handling authentication via their Microsoft or Xbox credentials.
Installation & Configuration
1. Plugin Setup
Upload theGeyser-Spigot.jar and Floodgate-Spigot.jar files to your /plugins/ directory and restart the server to generate the configuration files.
2. Networking (UDP)
Unlike Java (TCP), Bedrock uses the UDP protocol.- Port: By default, Geyser listens on port
19132. - Panel Note: On FREAKHOSTING, ensure the your server’s assigned ports are enabled for both TCP and UDP traffic.
3. Config.yml Adjustments
Open/plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml and verify:
bedrock.port: Should match your intended join port (usually 19132 or your main port).remote.address: Set to127.0.0.1.remote.auth-type: Set tofloodgateto enable seamless login for Bedrock users.
