# Bedrock Support (Geyser)

**NEX Servers: Skyblock PLUS** comes with Bedrock support free of charge. By utilizing Geyser + Floodgate, you will be able to allow players who use the Bedrock version of Minecraft to connect to your server. Here's how to get started:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**You may need the latest ViaVersion installed.**

When new versions of Minecraft are released, Bedrock players can only join Java Servers that are on the latest versions. By utilising ViaVersion, you can allow clients to join on the latest version.\
\
Download the latest version from <https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaVersion/releases>. (You may already be on the latest version!)
{% endhint %}

## Step #1 - Install the latest GeyserMC and Floodgate Plugins

Drag and drop these files into your `plugins` directory.

| Plugin                   | Download Link                                      | Version Needed |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| GeyserMC (Spigot/Paper)  | <https://geysermc.org/download/>                   | Latest         |
| Floodgate (Spigot/Paper) | <https://geysermc.org/download/?project=floodgate> | Latest         |

## Step #2 - Open an additional port on your panel

This is often done by clicking the "Network" tab. If you can't find it, contact your hosting support team for support.

## Step #3 - Set your port

Go into `plugins/GeyserMC-Spigot/config.yml` and replace the port in Line 19 with your new port.\
Then, go to Line 52 and change the port to the current port of your **Java** server.

## Step #4 - Restart your server

You should now be able to join on Bedrock clients by using your server's IP and the additional port you created! The first time you start up your server may take longer than usual as it generates the texture pack. This will only happen once, as the texture pack will be cached afterwards.

**You will be prompted to accept a texture pack when you join.**

This is to allow custom skulls to load onto Bedrock clients, as they don't naturally support them. The texture pack is very small (less than a MB), and should download almost instantly.
