# How to set up Java and Bedrock crossplay

To let Bedrock players join a Java server, use **Geyser**. If you want Bedrock players to join without a premium Java account, add **Floodgate** as well.

## What you need

- A Paper or Purpur server
- One additional UDP port for Bedrock
- The Geyser plugin and, if needed, Floodgate

## Quick steps

1. Upload `Geyser-Spigot.jar` to the `plugins` folder.
2. Upload `Floodgate-Spigot.jar` if you need it.
3. Restart the server.
4. Set the Bedrock port in `plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml`.
5. Restart the server again.

## Important configuration

Make sure:

- `bedrock.port` uses the additional Bedrock port
- `remote.port` uses the main Java port
- `auth-type` matches the mode you are using, for example `floodgate` if Floodgate is installed

## Full reference

For more detailed steps, see the main guide:

- [Full Geyser setup guide](geyser-setup.md)

## Notes

- If you need the support team to set up the server for you, include the Server ID and explain your needs when you open a ticket.
