Crossplay

Java and Bedrock. One server.

Friends on a computer, a phone, a tablet or a console can join the same Minecraft server, at the same address.

One address for both editions

Bedrock support is a switch on the server, not a default. Turning it on installs Floodgate, which signs Bedrock players in with the Xbox account they already play on, and ViaVersion; the Geyser that translates for them runs on our side. Java players join exactly as before, and Bedrock players use the server's own address.

How each player joins

Java Edition: Open Multiplayer, click Add Server, paste the address and join. The address is typed without a port.
Windows, phone and tablet: Play → Servers → Add Server, enter the same address and leave the port at 19132, Bedrock's default.
PlayStation and Xbox: A console has no Add Server button. A phone app that shows a server as a LAN game gets it in: give the app the server's address, with the phone on the same Wi-Fi as the console.

Opening the server's address in a browser shows these steps for that server.

What it needs

Bedrock support switched on for the server.
Server software from the Bukkit family: Paper, Purpur, or Spigot.
Minecraft 1.20.5 to 26.3, the versions it is offered on.
Bedrock players sign in with the Xbox account they already play on.
