Creating a Crossplay Server (GeyserMC Server)

Tutorial showcasing how to enable crossplay between bedrock and java users.

Selecting Paper

  • Start by creating a new Minecraft server.
  • When asked to choose a server type select Paper
  • When you reach the world configuration step click the Minecraft Version
    • This will open up a list of all minecraft versions, and the newest ones will have a badge next to them showcasing if they are Geyser compatible or not

Enabling Geyser (for Bedrock Support)

  • Select a Geyser compatible version
  • Enable Geyser so that Bedrock players can connect.
  • Now you should see two more toggle options appear
    • It's recommend to keep floodgate on as this allows the bedrock players to not need a java account
    • And the second option is an experimental resource pack which enhances the experience for bedrock users

Finish Setup

  • Once you’re done, simply close the versions menu.
  • Then finish setting up the server as usual.
  • When the server starts up, you’ll notice a Bedrock IP displayed alongside your regular server details.

Invite Friends

  • Share the Bedrock IP with your friends who play on Bedrock Edition.
  • They can now join your Paper server directly!
