Crossplay is a Java server with a second doorway on it, so players on Windows, phone, tablet and console walk into the same world as the players on a desktop. We put Geyser and Floodgate on it for you and check them every month, and the machine goes in the region closest to your players.

Crossplay Minecraft server hosting with no contract: turn off renewal from your dashboard at least 3 days before the next charge, and take the world, the plugins and the Geyser configuration with you.
The Java plan underneath, the crossplay setup, the region and your extras are priced before payment. One server carries both editions, so you pay for GeyserMC and Floodgate on one machine instead of renting a second Bedrock server next to your Java one, and DDoS protection and the free subdomain are included.
Support upgrades the server underneath Geyser and Floodgate without downtime and without a new world, so Java players on port 25565 and Bedrock players on port 19132 keep the same address while the plan grows.
Crossplay is one server with a second door, and the door is a plugin. Which build of it you need depends on the software you ordered: 5 of our 7 options carry Geyser and Floodgate themselves, and on the other 2 Geyser has to run beside the server, which means every Bedrock player needs a Java account to log in. The step by step for GeyserMC and Floodgate installs it with you.
| You ordered | Geyser build | Goes in | Floodgate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper (recommended) | Geyser-Spigot | plugins folder | Yes, floodgate-spigot |
| Purpur | Geyser-Spigot | plugins folder | Yes, floodgate-spigot |
| Fabric | Geyser-Fabric | mods folder | Yes, floodgate-fabric |
| Forge | Geyser Standalone | beside the server | No, Java account needed |
| NeoForge | Geyser-NeoForge | mods folder | Yes, floodgate-neoforge |
| Spigot | Geyser-Spigot | plugins folder | Yes, floodgate-spigot |
| Vanilla | Geyser Standalone | beside the server | No, Java account needed |
The version matters just as much. Geyser speaks one Java protocol, the newest it supports, so on every release below that the server and the translator are a step apart and ViaVersion has to sit in between. That is not a warning you get at order time, so here it is per version you can pick from us.

There is no separate Bedrock plan on this page, and that is deliberate. What you rent is a Java server with a second doorway cut into it. GeyserMC lives inside that server, reads what a phone or a console sends, and hands it over as though a desktop client had sent it. Your world file, your economy and your plugin folder never learn that half the room is on a controller.
The doorway itself is an extra allocation in your panel, and it listens on UDP, because a Bedrock client does not knock the way a Java client does. Next to Geyser sits Floodgate, which lets those players in on the Microsoft account their console already uses instead of demanding they buy Java Edition as well. Both are free downloads from the GeyserMC project. What you are paying us for is the machine underneath them and the port to hang them on.
The build you order at checkout decides how much work that is. Paper and the other loaders swallow Geyser as an ordinary plugin, so it is an upload and a restart, which is true for 5 of the 7 builds. Forge and Vanilla have nowhere to put it and need Geyser running alongside the server instead, and that variant cannot carry Floodgate, so on those two every Bedrock player needs a Java account after all. Still weighing up which edition your group should live on at all? That argument has its own page, Java against Bedrock.
Nothing on this page is a surcharge for letting a console in. Geyser and Floodgate are free software from an open source project, there is no Bedrock plan sitting next to these with a higher number on it, and none of the 5 add-ons in the order form has anything to do with crossplay. Letting a console in adds no line of its own to the invoice. What you pay is the plan, plus whatever you choose yourself on the screens after it: a region with a surcharge, extra storage, one of those add-ons, and on Mini alone a setup fee, a one time charge of €2.99 on a monthly term, and nothing at all if you take six months or longer.
The 7 above are the sizes we keep on the shelf. If your group sits between two of them, the slider on the home page builds one to measure, in 12 steps up to 96 GB, and everything on this page applies to it unchanged: the same second port, the same panel, the same two jar files.
A build to measure is priced off a single rate rather than per plan, so the percentage on its term button can differ from the one on the cards above. That is not a discount that disappeared; it is two sums that happen to land on the same screen.
Crossplay
Seven things people ask us before they order. Click an item to read the answer, or read them all: nothing here is hidden behind a support ticket.
Crossplay
One server, two doors. GeyserMC translates what a Bedrock client says into the Java protocol and back, and Floodgate lets those players in without a Java account. The world, the plugins and the files are the one set that the Java side already uses, so nothing is mirrored or synced between two servers.
Not all of them. Of our 7 options, 5 carry Geyser and Floodgate as a plugin or mod. On the other 2 Geyser has to run beside the server as a standalone, and then Floodgate is not available, so every Bedrock player needs a Java account to log in.
Usually yes. Geyser speaks one Java protocol, the newest it supports, so on every release below that ViaVersion and ViaBackwards have to sit in between, and on the oldest ones ViaRewind as well. Of the 15 versions in our checkout only the newest needs nothing extra.
A crossplay plan is the same machine as the Java plan of the same name with the crossplay setup on top; Mini Crossplay starts at EUR 9.19 per month on a twenty-four month term. You are not paying for a second server, because there is no second server.
Not when Floodgate runs, which it does on the software that can host it as a plugin or mod. Floodgate gives those players a stable identity of their own, so permissions and economy plugins keep recognising the same person even when the display name changes.
Anything the Bedrock client cannot render. Java mods and custom items do not cross, custom models and shaders do not, and redstone behaves differently on the two editions, so a contraption built to Java timing can misfire for the Bedrock half of your group. Plugin-driven gameplay does cross, because that runs on the server.
Both halves use the same hostname. Java players type it into the multiplayer screen with port 25565 behind it, Bedrock players put the hostname in the address field and 19132 in the port field. Hand them out labelled, because the two clients want them written differently.
