How to Create a Java/Bedrock Crossplay Server on Aternos
Are you a Minecraft player looking to create a server that allows both Java and Bedrock players to join? Look no further! Aternos offers a solution that makes it possible for players on both versions to play together. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up your own Java/Bedrock crossplay server using Aternos.
Creating an Aternos Account
The first step is to create an Aternos account if you don’t already have one. Signing up is quick and easy, and it will give you access to the tools you need to set up your server.
Setting Up the Server
Once you have your Aternos account, you can create a new server. Make sure to select the Java Edition as the software for your server. This is essential for enabling crossplay between Java and Bedrock players.
Installing Spigot and Geyser
After creating your server, you’ll want to change the software to Spigot Bucket and download version 1.18.1. This version is the most compatible for Bedrock players to join. Additionally, you’ll need to install the Geyser plugin, which allows Bedrock players to connect to the Java server seamlessly.
Optimizing Server Settings
Before starting your server, it’s a good idea to optimize some settings to ensure a smooth gaming experience. Adjusting the view distance and simulation distance can help improve performance, especially for players on different platforms.
Starting the Server
Once everything is set up, you can start your server and let it generate the necessary port. With Geyser installed, both Java and Bedrock players can join the server using the provided port information.
Conclusion
Creating a Java/Bedrock crossplay server on Aternos is a great way to bring players from different platforms together. By following these steps, you can set up a server that allows everyone to enjoy the game regardless of their preferred version. So, gather your friends and start building, exploring, and surviving together!
