Bedrock Crossplay

Crossplay lets Bedrock players on phones, tablets, consoles, and Minecraft for Windows join your Java server. Flip one switch and FadeHost runs Geyser and Floodgate on your server for you: no plugin downloads, no config files, no second server.

Bedrock players don’t need a Java account. Floodgate authenticates them with their Xbox/Microsoft account and they appear in-game with a . in front of their name (so .Steve is the Bedrock version of a player name).

Enabling it

Open your server → Settings → General.
Turn on Bedrock Crossplay (available on Paper, Purpur, and Spigot servers).
Restart the server. Geyser and Floodgate install automatically during startup.

After the restart, the settings page shows the Bedrock address and port your console/phone friends should use.

How Bedrock players join

On their device: Play → Servers → Add Server, then enter:

Server address: shown on your settings page (your server’s IP)
Port: the Bedrock port shown next to it (this is not the Java port)

Java players keep connecting exactly as before: same address, same port, nothing changes for them.

Good to know

Version tolerance: Geyser tracks the latest Bedrock releases and generally accepts current Bedrock versions joining a current Java server. Right after a brand-new Minecraft release there can be a short gap until Geyser updates, and we ship updates automatically on every server restart.
What Bedrock players can do: play survival/creative, chat, and build: nearly everything. A few Java-only quirks (custom resource packs, some plugin GUIs) may look different on Bedrock.
Turning it off: flip the switch off and restart. The Bedrock port stops answering and the plugins are removed.
Works with hibernation: a sleeping server wakes when a Java player joins. Bedrock players can’t trigger the wake themselves yet. A Java player (or the panel Start button) needs to wake it first.

Troubleshooting

“Unable to connect” on Bedrock: double-check you’re using the Bedrock port from the settings page, not the Java port, and restart the server once after enabling the toggle.
Bedrock player names look odd: the . prefix is Floodgate’s marker for Bedrock players; whitelist them as .TheirName.
