Bedrock crossplay with Geyser

How Bedrock players connect to a Paper server and what to check when chat is blocked.

Geyser lets Minecraft Bedrock players join a Java server. On Kyrbit, this is normally used with Paper plus Floodgate.

Player connection details

Open the server's Network tab and send Bedrock players exactly what it shows:

  • Server Address: the Bedrock server address, usually the server IP without a port.
  • Port: the Bedrock UDP port.

Bedrock uses UDP. Do not guess 19132, and do not use the Java port unless the Network tab says to. Kyrbit may map the public Bedrock UDP port differently from the internal Geyser listener.

Required server type

Geyser/Floodgate should run on a plugin-capable Minecraft server such as Paper. Vanilla Minecraft does not load plugins.

Chat blocked on Bedrock

If a Bedrock player can join but chat is blocked, check logs/latest.log for a message like:

Chat disabled due to missing profile public key

On Paper/Spigot servers running Geyser/Floodgate, set this in server.properties:

enforce-secure-profile=false

Then restart the server from the panel.

Keep online-mode=true unless support tells you otherwise. The secure-profile change is for Java signed-chat enforcement; it is not the same thing as turning off Mojang authentication.

What to keep in mind

  • Bedrock player names may be prefixed by Floodgate, often with a dot.
  • Consoles may need a BedrockConnect-style helper because console editions do not always allow arbitrary third-party server entries.
  • If players cannot connect at all, confirm the Bedrock UDP port in the Network tab before editing plugin files.
