How does Java and Bedrock crossplay work?
Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition use different network protocols. Geyser translates Bedrock connections into traffic a Paper server can understand, so both editions can play in the same world without replacing the Java server.
Floodgate lets authenticated Bedrock players join without also owning or signing into a Java Edition account. Crafty Servers installs both official plugins, configures a public UDP listener, and shows the Bedrock address in Server settings.
Why host Paper + Bedrock with Crafty Servers?
One-click setup
No allocation ticket or YAML editing. The preset installs Geyser + Floodgate and configures the public UDP port.
One shared world
Java and Bedrock players share the same world, chat, builds, and Paper plugins.
Normal Java address
Your Java connection address stays unchanged. Bedrock players receive the hostname and UDP port they should use.
Repairable from the dashboard
The same one-click control can verify and repair the Geyser and Floodgate setup later.
Frequently asked questions
Do Bedrock players need to buy Java Edition?
No. Floodgate allows an authenticated Bedrock account to join the shared Paper server without a separate Java Edition login.
Can Java and Bedrock players play in the same world?
Yes. Geyser translates Bedrock connections while the world continues to run on Paper, so both editions join the same server.
Which address do Bedrock players use?
Open Server settings after setup. Bedrock players enter the displayed hostname and UDP port; Java players keep using the normal Java address.
Can I enable Bedrock on an existing Paper server?
Yes. Open the existing Paper server's Settings page and press Enable Bedrock. If it is online, it restarts after the plugins and port are configured.
Do all Java plugins work for Bedrock players?
Many Paper plugins work normally, but plugins with Java-specific menus, custom items, or protocol behavior can require extra testing with a Bedrock client.
