# Enabling Crossplay

> Let Java and Bedrock players connect to the same FreeServer.host Minecraft server using Geyser and Floodgate.

Enable crossplay so players on Minecraft Bedrock (mobile, console, Windows 10) can join your Java Edition server. FreeServer.host supports this through the Geyser and Floodgate plugins.

## Requirements

* A Minecraft Java Edition server running a plugin-compatible platform such as Paper, Spigot, or Purpur.
* Access to the **Files** tab of your server.

## Install Geyser and Floodgate

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the plugins">
    Get the latest builds from the official sites:

    * [Geyser-Spigot](https://geysermc.org/download)
    * [Floodgate-Spigot](https://geysermc.org/download#floodgate)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload to the plugins folder">
    Open the **Files** tab and go to the `plugins/` directory. Upload both `.jar` files.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restart the server">
    Restart from the console so the plugins load and generate their config files.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    In the console, look for lines confirming Geyser and Floodgate started successfully.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connect from Bedrock

Bedrock players connect using the same server address, on the Bedrock default port `19132`. If you use a custom port, share it with your players.

<Tip>
  Enable Floodgate to let Bedrock players join without owning a Java account. See the [Floodgate docs](https://wiki.geysermc.org/floodgate/) for setup details.
