Making Your Server Bedrock-Compatible

What is Geyser?​

Geyser is a "bridge" that allows Minecraft Bedrock Edition players (mobile, console, Windows 10) to join Minecraft Java Edition servers.

To make this work smoothly and safely, we need:

  1. A Dedicated Port: An additional port (UDP) as the entry point for Bedrock players.
  2. Supporting Plugins: GeyserMC, Floodgate, and ViaVersion.

Step 1: Installing the Plugins​

Before setting up the configuration, make sure the "ingredients" are ready.

  1. Open your server panel and go to the Plugins menu. Backend and Auth Configuration
  2. Find and install the following plugins:
    • GeyserMC (The core Bedrock-Java bridge).
    • Floodgate (So Bedrock players can log in without a Java/Premium account).
    • ViaVersion (Recommended, so newer Bedrock versions can join an older Java server).
  3. Restart your server once to generate the plugin folder.

Step 2: Creating a Dedicated Port (Allocation)​

Bedrock players need a different entry point than Java players. We have to create it first.

  1. Open the Network menu in the panel sidebar.
  2. Click the Create Allocation button.
  3. Under Profile, select "Minecraft Bedrock (19200 - 19400)".
  4. Click the Create Allocation button.

IMPORTANT

Note the new Port that appears (EXAMPLE: 19202). This will be your "Bedrock Port".

Step 3: Configuration Through the Panel UI​

We don't need to bother editing the config.yml file manually. The Raznar panel has a visual configuration feature.

  1. Open the Configuration menu in the left sidebar (under the Minecraft section).
  2. Click the blue button/tab labeled Geyser YAML at the top.

The settings view will open. Adjust the contents as follows:

A. Bedrock Settings (Listener)​

  • BEDROCK PORT: Enter the dedicated port you just created in Step 2 (Example: 19202).
  • CLONE JAVA PORT: Make sure this is Disabled (unchecked), since we're using a different port.

B. Java Backend Settings (Remote)​

This tells Geyser where to forward players (that is, to your own Java server).

  • REMOTE ADDRESS: Fill in the Address shown near Console or near the start button.
  • REMOTE PORT: Enter your Java Server's Main Port (the port you use to join, e.g. 25069).
  • AUTHENTICATION: Change it to floodgate.
    • Why floodgate? So Bedrock players can join directly without having to buy a Java Edition account.

Step 4: Save and Restart​

  1. Scroll up or down, then click the SAVE CHANGES button.
  2. Go back to the Console menu.
  3. Restart your server.

Done!​

Now your server can be joined through two routes:

  • Java Players: Join using the Main IP (Example: ip-address:25069).
  • Bedrock Players: Join using the Main IP but the Bedrock Port (Example: ip-address:19202).
