Install both, give Geyser its own port, and Bedrock players connect using your server address and that port. ## What you need - A Java server running **Paper**, Purpur or another Paper/Spigot-family software. (Geyser also has Fabric, NeoForge and proxy versions; this guide covers the plugin.) - One extra port from the **Network** tab. Geyser cannot share your Java port. Every plan includes at least 2 extra ports. - Geyser follows the newest Minecraft version. If your server runs an older version, also install [ViaVersion](/docs/viaversion-support-older-and-newer-clients). ## Step 1: Get an extra port 1. In the [Game Panel](https://panel.endercloud.in), open your server and go to **Network**. 2. Click **Create Allocation** and note the new port number (for example `45570`). Type what it is for in the **Notes** column. See [How to add extra ports](/docs/how-to-add-extra-ports). ## Step 2: Install Geyser and Floodgate 1. Open **Plugins** → **Browse Plugins**, set **Plugin Loader** to your server software (for example Paper), search for **Geyser** and click **Install**. If it doesn't show on one platform, try Modrinth or Hangar. 2. Search for **Floodgate** and click **Install**. 3. Start (or restart) the server once so both plugins create their config files, then **Stop** it. If either plugin is not listed, download `Geyser-Spigot` and `Floodgate-Spigot` from the official site [geysermc.org/download](https://geysermc.org/download/) and upload them to the `plugins` folder. ## Step 3: Set Geyser's port 1. Open **Files** and edit `plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml`. 2. Find the `bedrock:` section and set `port` to your extra port. Leave `address` as `0.0.0.0`. 3. If you see `clone-remote-port`, keep it `false`. Setting it to `true` would put Geyser on your Java port. 4. Find `auth-type` (under `java:` in new versions, `remote:` in older ones) and make sure it is `floodgate`. 5. Save the file and start the server. ``` bedrock: address: 0.0.0.0 port: 45570 ``` Use your own port number. In the **Console**, Geyser prints a message when it has started, including the port. If it shows an error about the port, check the number again. ## Step 4: Join from Bedrock 1. In Bedrock, go to **Play → Servers** and add a server. 2. **Server Address:** your server's address *without* the port. Use the hostname from the panel header (for example `in6.endercloud.in`) or the **Server IP** shown on the **Dashboard**. 3. **Port:** your Geyser port, not the Java port. > **Note:** > A free subdomain from our subdomain tool uses an SRV record, and Bedrock does not read SRV records. Bedrock players must type the address and port. For a custom domain, see [Use a domain with a Bedrock server](/docs/use-a-domain-with-a-bedrock-server). ## Bedrock player names and Floodgate - Floodgate adds a prefix to Bedrock names, a dot by default, so `Steve` on Bedrock becomes `.Steve`. Use that name with op, bans and LuckPerms. The prefix is set by `username-prefix` in Floodgate's config. - **Whitelist:** new Endercloud servers have the whitelist on, so Bedrock players must be added too. Floodgate has its own command for them: `fwhitelist add ` (use their Bedrock gamertag). > **Important:** > Never share Floodgate's `key.pem` file. Anyone who has it can join your server as any Bedrock player. ## Using a Velocity or BungeeCord proxy? Install Geyser and Floodgate on the **proxy only**, and give the proxy server the extra port. If you also want Floodgate on the backend servers, set `send-floodgate-data: true` in the proxy's Floodgate config, install Floodgate on each backend, and copy `key.pem` from the proxy's Floodgate folder to every backend's Floodgate folder. Player forwarding must already work. See [Velocity and BungeeCord proxy networks](/docs/velocity-and-bungeecord-proxy-network). ## Frequently asked questions **Q: Bedrock players get "Unable to connect to world"** Check that the server is online, that the port in Bedrock is the Geyser port, and that the port in Geyser's config matches the one in your **Network** tab. Update the Bedrock app and update Geyser from the **Plugins** tab, as Geyser needs to match new Bedrock releases. **Q: Do Bedrock players need a Java account?** No, not with Floodgate and `auth-type: floodgate`. Without Floodgate, each Bedrock player must sign in with a Java account. **Q: Can console players (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) join?** Geyser supports them, but consoles cannot add custom servers from the menu. The Geyser wiki lists workarounds. Still stuck? [Open a ticket](https://billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create) with a screenshot of your Geyser config and console.
