Minecraft | How to install GeyserMC

GeyserMC is a powerful proxy tool that lets players using Minecraft: Bedrock Edition join a Java Edition server. This guide will walk you through the process of installing GeyserMC, so you can bridge your Minecraft Java server with Bedrock players.

Ensure you have the latest PaperMC version installed on your Minecraft server. Our servers deploy with PaperMC out-of-the-box.
