Common GeyserMC and Floodgate Issues

Server isn’t showing up on my friends list

• • For Windows 10, iOS, and Android, you can try adding the server to the Server List in-game to join.

• If playing on Xbox One, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch, you can follow our Minecraft Bedrock guide to connect to your server.

Server is stuck on “Locating Server” with no errors

This issue is common on Minecraft Java Edition with GeyserMC and requires that you update the Java edition installed on your computer. Perform the update and then attempt to reconnect to join your server!

Unable to Join Minecraft Server

You may be unable to join due to the differences in your Java Edition and Bedrock Edition IP addresses. When connecting on Bedrock, it’s important that you use your server’s IP address and port +4. Then when connecting on Java, you can use your server’s regular IP address and port. Once you’re using the correct address, if everything is setup correctly, you’ll connect instantly!
