Requires a running Java Edition server and a compatible mod loader (Paper, Fabric, or BungeeCord/Velocity) to attach to.
Geyser is a Java project that acts as a bridge between two different versions of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Java Edition. These two versions of the game use completely different network protocols, which normally means players on Bedrock devices (such as phones, consoles, or Windows 10/11 using the Store version) cannot join Java Edition servers. Geyser translates the network traffic between them in real time, making it possible for Bedrock players to connect to Java Edition servers. The project works as a proxy: a Bedrock player connects to Geyser, and Geyser forwards that connection to a Java Edition server while translating all the packets in both directions. This covers movement, chat, inventory, world rendering, and entity behavior. Not everything can be translated perfectly, and the project documents its known limitations openly. Some features differ too much between the two editions to bridge reliably. Setup instructions and full documentation are on the project website rather than in this repository's README. A public test server is available at test.geysermc.org if you want to try it before setting up your own. Geyser can be deployed as a standalone proxy, as a plugin on BungeeCord or Velocity networks, or as a mod on Fabric or Paper servers. Compiling Geyser from source requires cloning the repository, initializing its submodules, and running the Gradle build tool. Pre-built downloads are available on the project website for those who do not want to compile. Geyser is an open-source community project maintained by the GeyserMC team and supported by contributors. It is free to use under the MIT license.
