One World for Your Whole Friend Group
Crossplay powered by Geyser on Paper or Purpur, with every hosting feature included.
Java and Bedrock, Same Server
Geyser translates Bedrock connections into Java connections, so both editions play in one world. Java players join normally with the server IP. Bedrock players use the same IP with a dedicated Bedrock port. Everyone ends up in the same place.
Full Plugin Support for All Players
Cross-platform servers run Paper or Purpur with Geyser installed as a plugin, which means the entire Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper ecosystem is available. EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldGuard, and Dynmap all work for Java and Bedrock players alike.
Guided Geyser Setup
Geyser needs a Bedrock port assigned to your server. Message our live chat after purchase and the team will assign the port and walk you through the Geyser configuration. The whole process takes a few minutes.
Automated Daily Backups
Your shared world is backed up automatically every day. Restore any previous backup with one click from the control panel if a build goes sideways or a world file corrupts.
A Central Home for Spread-Out Groups
Choose the data center closest to your group at checkout. Cross-platform groups are often spread out, so picking a central location keeps ping fair for everyone.
Swap Setups Anytime
Keep your crossplay server alongside a separate modded or vanilla instance under one plan and swap between them anytime without losing progress.
Geyser vs Java vs Bedrock
Three ways to host Minecraft, one clear winner for mixed friend groups.
| Feature | Geyser (Crossplay) | Java Edition | Bedrock Edition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platforms | PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Mobile | PC and Mac only | PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Mobile |
| Java Players Can Join | Yes | Yes | No |
| Bedrock Players Can Join | Yes | No | Yes |
| True Crossplay | Yes, both editions on one server | No | No (Bedrock only) |
| Plugin Support | Full (Bukkit, Spigot, Paper) | Full (Bukkit, Spigot, Paper) | Limited (addons and behavior packs) |
| Mod Loader Support | No (plugin servers only) | Yes (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge) | No |
| Best For | Mixed friend groups across devices | PC-only groups wanting mods | Console and mobile groups without Java players |
If your group includes both Java and Bedrock players, Geyser on a Paper or Purpur server is the best option: full plugin support and crossplay on a single server. If everyone plays Java, you do not need Geyser. If everyone plays Bedrock, a native Bedrock server does the job.
How to Set Up a Cross-Platform Minecraft Server
Get a server, install Geyser, and let Java and Bedrock players connect to the same world.
1
Get a Server
Choose a plan and select Paper as your server software during purchase. Paper is the recommended base for Geyser, and you can change software anytime from the panel.
2
Install Geyser
Contact live chat support to request a Bedrock port. The team assigns it and helps you install and configure the Geyser plugin in minutes.
3
Join the Server
Java players connect with the server IP through the Multiplayer menu. Bedrock players on console or mobile use the same IP with the Bedrock port through the Servers tab. Everyone joins the same world.
Cross-Platform Server Plans
Cross-platform servers run Paper or Purpur with Geyser, which adds a small amount of overhead. We recommend 6GB or higher for the best experience. Every plan includes all features with no add-on costs.
