How to Enable Crossplay on Your Minecraft Server (Geyser)

Want to enable Minecraft crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can join the same server? With XGamingServer, setting it up is incredibly easy. Thanks to our built-in plugin installer, you can get crossplay working in just a few clicks — no technical skills needed.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to enable Minecraft crossplay using Geyser and Floodgate plugins.

How to Enable Minecraft Crossplay on XGamingServer

1. Log into Your XGamingServer Panel

Go to panel.xgamingserver.com and access your Minecraft server dashboard.

2. Head to the “Plugins” Tab

Click on the Plugins tab from the top navigation bar.

3. Search for “Geyser”

In the search box, type Geyser. You’ll see:

• ✅ Geyser – the main plugin to enable Minecraft crossplay
• ✅ Floodgate – optional, but allows Bedrock users to join without a Java account
• 🛠 Extra tools like GeyserVoice, GeyserPackSync, and GeyserExtras

4. Install Geyser and Floodgate

Click the download icon on both plugins. This installs them directly — no need to upload any files manually.

5. Restart Your Server

After installing, restart the server to activate the plugins and generate config files.

💡 Tip: For maximum compatibility, your server type should be Paper, Spigot, or Purpur.

Configure Geyser for Advanced Crossplay (Optional)

To customize your setup (optional):

• Save and restart your server
• Open the plugins/Geyser/config.yml file
• Set auth-type: floodgate to allow Bedrock logins without Java accounts

How Bedrock Players Can Join

Once Minecraft crossplay is enabled, Bedrock players can connect by:

• Opening Minecraft Bedrock
• Going to Play > Servers > Add Server
• Entering your server IP and port:
  • Port: 19132 (default Bedrock port)

Extra Plugins for a Better Minecraft Crossplay Experience

• 🔊 GeyserVoice – Proximity voice chat support
