Can Java and Bedrock (or ARK crossplay / console players) all join my server?

Bringing players together across platforms — Java and Bedrock, or console and PC — is possible on many games, but the setup depends on the title you're running. Here's what crossplay looks like and how to get it working.

Crossplay by game

Crossplay isn't one universal switch; it varies by game and server type:

• Minecraft — a Paper server running Geyser and Floodgate lets Java and Bedrock players join together.
• ARK and other titles — crossplay depends on the server type/egg you're running.

Getting it set up

Because the right configuration differs between games, the safest path is to have us confirm what's supported for yours.

1. Open a support ticket telling us your game and how you'd like players to connect.
2. We'll confirm what's supported for that title.
3. We'll help you put the right configuration in place.

Tip: For Minecraft, Geyser and Floodgate are the standard combo for Java/Bedrock crossplay — mention them in your ticket if that's your goal.

Frequently asked questions

Does crossplay work on any Minecraft software? Geyser and Floodgate run on the Paper/Spigot family, so you'll want plugin-capable software. Open a ticket if you're unsure whether your current setup qualifies.

Can console players join my ARK server? It depends on the server type and egg. Open a ticket and we'll confirm what crossplay options exist for your configuration.
