Author: Yunus Emre and dkt

Selecting Paper

2. When asked to choose a type, you’ll see Vanilla, Paper, and Fabric
   Select Paper
3. When you reach the world configuration step click the Minecraft Version
   1. This will open up a list of all minecraft versions, and the newest ones will have a badge next to them showcasing if they are Geyser compatible or not

Enabling Geyser (for Bedrock Support)

1. Select a Geyser compatible version
2. Enable Geyser so that Bedrock players can connect.
3. Now you should see two more toggle options appear
   1. it's recommend to keep floodgate on as this allows the bedrock players to not need a java account
   2. And the second option is an experimental resource pack which enhances the experience for bedrock users

Finish Setup

1. Once you’re done, simply close the versions menu.
2. Then finish setting up the server as usual.
3. When the server starts up, you’ll notice a Bedrock IP displayed alongside your regular server details.

Invite Friends
