🔌 About Floodgate
Floodgate is a companion Minecraft plugin for Geyser that enables Bedrock Edition players to join Java Edition servers without requiring a Java account. It provides the authentication and account-linking functionality Floodgate needs to allow Bedrock clients to appear as valid players on online-mode Java servers.
🎯 Purpose
Floodgate's core purpose is to bridge authentication differences between Bedrock and Java editions: it verifies Bedrock (Xbox/Microsoft) identities, maps them to Java-compatible player entries, and supports local and global account linking so a Bedrock player's identity can be recognized consistently across servers using Floodgate. ()
⚙️ Features
- Bedrock account authentication and mapping to Java player accounts. ()
- Local account linking and unlinking commands for players. ()
- A whitelist command for managing Floodgate (Bedrock) players separately from Java whitelists. ()
- A plugin API that other plugins can use to detect and interact with Floodgate-managed Bedrock players. ()
🧩 Who It Is For
Floodgate is intended for server owners and network administrators who run Geyser to allow Bedrock players to join their Java servers, and who need a robust authentication/linking solution for Bedrock identities.
🏗️ Example Use Cases
- Allowing mobile and console Bedrock players to join an existing Java SMP or Survival server while keeping player accounts distinct and trackable.
- Linking a player's Bedrock identity to a Java account so plugins and permissions continue to work consistently for that user.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful
If you run Geyser to let Bedrock players join your Java servers, Floodgate is the component that handles Bedrock identity and account linking so those players are recognized and usable by Java-side plugins and server systems.
