GeyserMC and Floodgate: Bedrock Crossplay

Geyser is a translator proxy plugin that allows Minecraft Bedrock Edition clients to join your Java Edition server natively, translating packets in real time. Floodgate allows Bedrock players to join without requiring a separate Java account.

Prerequisites

A server running Paper or Purpur (1.20+ recommended).
An extra open port for Bedrock UDP traffic, or port allocation configured in your dashboard.

Step 1: Download Geyser and Floodgate

Download the matching plugin jars:

Geyser-Spigot.jar: Download from geysermc.org
Floodgate-Spigot.jar: Download from the Floodgate section of Geyser's download page

Step 2: Install Plugins to `/plugins/`

Open your FreeMcHosting File Manager.
Navigate to plugins.
Upload both Geyser-Spigot.jar and Floodgate-Spigot.jar.
Restart your server. This generates the plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml file.

Step 3: Configure Geyser Port

Bedrock Edition uses UDP networking. By default, Bedrock expects port 19132, but on hosting environments, you must use an allocated port.

Open plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml.
Locate the bedrock section:

bedrock:
     address: 0.0.0.0
     port: YOUR_ASSIGNED_PORT
     clone-remote-port: true

If you have a dedicated extra port from the panel, enter it under port:. If using the same port, keep clone-remote-port: true.

Locate auth-type: under remote::

remote:
     auth-type: floodgate

Setting this to floodgate allows mobile and console players to join with their Microsoft Gamertag.

Save the file and restart the server.
