Java Edition and Bedrock Edition use different default server software: server.jar for Java, BDS for Bedrock. GeyserMC describes itself as a program that allows Bedrock Edition clients to join Java Edition servers, and Floodgate is the add-on that lets Bedrock players join without logging in to a paid Java Edition account.
Geyser's requirements depend on the server software and the Minecraft version you run, so start from a server you can install add-ons on. The setup guide covers the version conditions and the UDP port it needs.
Java Edition add-ons come in two formats, and which one applies depends on the server software you run: Paper and Spigot run plugins, while Fabric runs server mods. The two are not interchangeable, so pick the server software that matches the content you want to run.
Either way the files are placed in the server's own directories, so file access to the server installation is required.
The server runs as a JAR, so the Java runtime installed on the machine must be at least as new as the Java version the JAR was compiled against. Check this against the Minecraft version you plan to run:
| Minecraft version | Required Java |
|---|---|
| 1.12 and later | Java 8 |
| 1.18 and later | Java 17 |
| 1.20.5–1.21.11 | Java 21 |
| 26.1 and later | Java 25 |
The requirement is a floor, not an exact match: the wiki states that older Minecraft versions can run on newer Java, citing 1.16 on Java 17. Paper's table lists Java 21 for 1.20–1.21.11 and Java 25 for 26.1+.
