Why Crossplay?

Play With Anyone

Friends on different platforms can finally play together on the same server.

One Server, All Platforms

Server owners reach more players without running multiple servers.

Powered by GeyserMC

Most crossplay servers use GeyserMC to translate between Java and Bedrock.

Same Features

Both Java and Bedrock players access the same worlds, items, and gameplay.

How Crossplay Works

  1. 1Java players connect normally using the Java IP
  2. 2Bedrock players connect using a separate Bedrock IP (often same domain, different port)
  3. 3GeyserMC translates packets between both editions
  4. 4Players see and interact with each other seamlessly
  5. 5Some minor feature differences may exist due to edition limitations

Crossplay Servers

GeyserMC Technology

Most crossplay servers use GeyserMC, a proxy that translates Bedrock packets to Java format. This means Bedrock players can join Java servers seamlessly!

Crossplay Connection Tips

Check Both IPs

Crossplay servers often have different IPs for Java and Bedrock. Check the server details for the correct address for your edition.

Expect Minor Differences

Some features may work slightly differently between Java and Bedrock due to protocol translation. This is normal.

Link Your Accounts

Some crossplay servers require linking your Java and Bedrock accounts. Check the server's Discord for instructions.

What is a crossplay Minecraft server?
A crossplay server allows both Java Edition (PC) and Bedrock Edition (mobile, console, Windows 10) players to play together on the same server.
How do crossplay servers work?
Most use GeyserMC, a plugin that translates between Java and Bedrock protocols. Bedrock players connect to a special port that routes them through Geyser.
Do I need special software?
No. Java players connect normally. Bedrock players use the provided Bedrock IP/port. No additional software needed on the player side.
Are there any limitations?
Some minor differences exist. Certain Java features may not translate perfectly to Bedrock, and vice versa. But core gameplay works seamlessly.
How do I connect from Bedrock?
Look for the server's Bedrock IP and port (usually 19132). Add it in Minecraft Bedrock under Play > Servers > Add Server.
Can console players join?
Yes, but Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch require workarounds (like BedrockConnect) to add custom servers. Once added, crossplay works normally.

About Crossplay Servers

Crossplay Minecraft servers bridge the gap between Java and Bedrock editions. Using technology like GeyserMC, these servers allow players on PC, mobile, and console to play together seamlessly.

This means a player on their phone can join the same server as someone on a gaming PC or Xbox. Crossplay servers are perfect for friend groups with different devices who want to experience Minecraft together.
