GeyserMC: Bridging Java & Bedrock on Pterodactyl

Expand your community by allowing Bedrock Edition players to join your Java server. GeyserMC acts as a proxy, seamlessly translating between editions.

1. What Is GeyserMC?

• Cross-Play Proxy: Enables Bedrock clients (Windows 10, mobile, console) to connect to Java servers.

• Floodgate Integration: Provides Xbox/Bedrock authentication without needing Java accounts.

• Active Development: Regular updates for the latest Minecraft versions.

2. Setting Up GeyserMC

1. Create a Java Server on Pterodactyl (follow our general setup guide).

2. Download GeyserMC:

   • Visit the official GitHub and grab the latest Geyser.jar.

3. Upload to Plugins (for Paper/Spigot):

   • Use SFTP to place Geyser.jar and Floodgate.jar in /plugins.

4. Enable Floodgate (optional but recommended):

   • Generates config.yml for both Geyser and Floodgate.

3. Configuring GeyserMC

Open Configuration → Files and adjust:

• Bedrock Port (19132): Ensure it’s allowed through your firewall.

• Floodgate Auth: Simplifies login—no Java account required for Bedrock players.

Save changes and Restart the server.

4. Testing & Troubleshooting

• Join from Bedrock: Enter your-server-ip:19132 in Bedrock Edition.

• Check Console: Look for successful proxy connection messages.

• Common Fixes:

  • Firewall: Open UDP port 19132.

  • Version Mismatch: Keep GeyserMC updated alongside your Minecraft version.

5. Growing Your Cross-Play Community

• Highlight Cross-Play: Advertise on mclist.gg that Bedrock players are welcome.

• Dedicated IP or Subdomain: e.g., bedrock.yourdomain.com for easier access.

• In-Game Events: Host mixed-edition build contests or mini-games.

By integrating GeyserMC, you’ll open your server to a wider audience—boosting player counts and engagement. Don’t forget to list and promote your cross-play server on mclist.gg to drive maximum traffic!
