Crossplay on Java and Bedrock

This guide will teach you how to install and configure Geyser to allow cross-play between Bedrock and Java edition Minecraft servers.

Login to the Panel

• Start by setting up a Minecraft Java Edition server on UltraServers. If you already have one, then disregard this step.
• Login to the panel. See Access the Panel for instructions.

Install Geyser

• There are currently multiple ways you can install Geyser. We recommend using the Mod/Plugin method; however, this guide will cover every method.

Install Geyser and Paper out of the box

• Our version changer enables users to effortlessly install Geyser on top of Paper with just a single click. Ensuring your server is up and running in minutes, ready for action right out of the box.
• 1 Click on the Change Version tab.
• 2 Click the Paper + Geyser button.

• 1 Ensure Wipe Server Files is enabled. If you prefer to keep your existing setup, please skip this section, as this guide focuses on installing Geyser on an existing setup.
• 2 Click the Install geyser-paper button.

• Congratulations, you now have a server where both Java and Bedrock users can join. Your server IP will work for both platforms.

Install Geyser on an existing Server

• There are currently multiple ways you can install Geyser on your existing server. We recommend using the Mod/Plugin manager method; however, we will also cover the manual process.

Through the Plugin manager

• Go to the 1 Plugins tab, 2 search for Geyser plugin, and click the 3 Install button.

• Then, from the GeyserMC website, download Floodgate.

Through the Mod manager

• Go to the 1 Minecraft Mods tab, 2 search for Geyser mod, and click the 3 Install button.
• Additionally, download the Floodgate mod. It allows Bedrock users to join without having to link their Java Minecraft account.

Manual installation

• Visit the GeyserMc download site.
• 1 Ensure you’re on the download page, 2 copy the download URL of the Geyser version you want. For example, we will use Spigot/Paper.
• 3 Click the Floodgate tab and copy the link for the relevant version as well.

• 1 Head to the File manager and 2 click the plugins or mod folder depending on the version you are installing.

• Click the Download File button.

• Paste the Download URL, then hit the Download button.
• Repeat this step with the floodgate URL.

Restart the Server

• 1 Restart your server to load Geyser and generate its configuration files.
• Once the plugin has successfully created the configuration, stop the server using the 2 Stop button.
• This step is crucial for Geyser to load correctly. Using methods such as PlugManX or /reload is not advised.

Configure Geyser

• On the panel, go to the 1 Files tab of your server and open the plugins folder.
• 2 Then, go to Geyser-Spigot locate the Geyser configuration file config.yml and open it.
• In this file, you can customize various settings such as server address, authentication type, etc.
• Make sure the port written under the bedrock: section is the same as your Java Edition server Port.

Restart the Server

• Restart your server to apply the changes.
• You may also use geyser reload if the changes you make do not require a whole restart. This is typically useful for minor edits.

Connect to Server

• If you are on console, you can follow the official Geyser guide.
• Alternatively, if you are on a PC, Mac, or Linux, you can connect to the server as usual.

If you require further assistance, you can open a support ticket here.
