This guide will show you how to use the Geyser plugin to allow Bedrock players to connect to a Java server.

# Set Up Geyser Using the Multicraft Installer

We suggest that you use our Multicraft Installer to quickly set up Geyser and Floodgate on your server.
—

## The Multicraft Auto-Setup

**To install Geyser, please complete these steps:**

1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/) and stop your server.

—

2. Click on `Installers`, then on `Plugin Auto Setups`.


—

3. Click on `Geyser`.


—

4. Click on `Run Auto-Setup`.


A message will pop up telling you to check the console and make sure Geyser is installing without any errors.


—

5. Go back to your main Multicraft page, click on `Console`.


If you see the following message, Geyser has been successfully set up:

`[Script geyser] Done, returned Ok`

If you see anything other than ‘“Done, returned Ok’ or get an error, please reach out to our [support team](https://ggservers.com/support).

—

6. Start your server by clicking “Start” on your main server page.

That’s how to setup Geyser on your server. Now Bedrock players will be able to connect to your Java server.

## How to Properly Connect

To connect to your Java server from Bedrock edition, open your Bedrock client. Click on Play, then on Servers. Click on add a server. Enter your server IP in the `Server Address` box and your server port (that part after the `:` in your server address) in the `Port` box.

# Setting up Geyser and Floodgate Manually

You can also set up manually Geyser and Floodgate if you want.

—

## How to Install Geyser Manually

Geyser can be found as a plugin on its official page. To set it up into your server you need to be sure that you are running a server type that is able to run plugins, like Bukkit, Spigot, or Paper. We recommend Paper because it has the best performance.

1. Download Geyser-spigot jar from [here](https://geysermc.org/) and stop your server.


—

2. Upload the jar file you just downloaded to your ‘plugins’ folder using Filezilla.


|| ⚠ NOTE ⚠: [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-connect-with-filezilla-yl0q5r/) is our guide for using Filezilla and [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-install-plugins-on-your-server-1yxw90a/) is our guide for installing plugins into your server.

—

3. Restart your server.

You have now installed Geyser on your server!

||| After doing the steps above, you can use the `/plugins` command to see if the Geyser plugin is there and active.

—

## How to Set Up Geyser Manually

In order to properly set up the Geyser plugin you need to do the following:

1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/), click on `Files`, then on `FTP files access`.


—

2. After logging into your FTP, open the `plugins` folder, then open the `Geyser-Spigot` folder


—

3. Click on the `config.yml` file, then click `Edit`.


—

4. Change the `address` to your actual server IP which can be found on your main Multicraft page and set the `port` to a random 5 digit number between `25500` and `29999`. As you can see the `address` is set by default to `0.0.0.0` and the `port` to `19132`.


|| ⚠ NOTE ⚠: The `address` can be found at line number `13` and the `port` can be found at line number `15`.

||| Also, please note that if you want to use the same Port for Java and Bedrock connections you will also have to disable the `query port` option in your `server.properties` file.

—

5. Save, then restart the server.

Now you just set up properly Geyser into your server and Bedrock editions should be able to join now.

—

## How to Properly Connect

In order to connect to your Bukkit/Spigot/Paper server from a Bedrock edition, like Minecraft Windows 10 or the mobile version, just open your Bedrock client and when you have to add the server put the IP in the `Server Address` box, and the Port you set in the Geyser config file (the random 5 digit number) in the `Port` box.


After doing so, just connect to the server and play!

## ⛓️ Setting Up Floodgate ⛓️

The Floodgate plugin is a plugin that will allow your Bedrock players to connect to your Java server without needing a Minecraft Java account. You can find more information about the Floodgate plugin on its official page [here](https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser/wiki/Floodgate).

|| NOTE: This is a separate plugin that is working only if you already set up the Geyser plugin.
