How to share Minecraft server between PC, Mobile and Console
Minecraft Crossplay is a service built on GeyserMC hosted by 365HOSTS allowing players to join the same server and play on the same world across PC, Mac, Mobile and Console bridging the gap between Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Minecraft: Java Edition. The service works on:
- Computer: Windows, Mac OS, Linux
- Mobile/Tablet: iOS, Android
- Console: Playstation, Xbox , Nintendo Switch
365HOSTS have configured GeyserMC to translate packets from Bedrock Edition clients to work seamlessly with Java Edition Servers - without you having to configure anything. It just works!
And the best of all is: you can use any Spigot/Paper/Bukkit plugin for your server, installable just like on a "normal" Minecraft: Java Edition server.
How to set your Crossplay server up
- Get the service on https://www.365hosts.com/gaming/crossplayminecraft.
- Wait for your service to be provisioned (1-5 minutesand head on to the 365Hosts game server panel and start the server.
- Join your server on the different plattforms and get the word out!
