Half your friends play Java on PC, the other half Bedrock on their phones — and vanilla Minecraft won't let them share a world. Tick one box here and everyone joins the same address.

Hardware and tooling tuned specifically for Minecraft — not a generic VPS with a wiki page bolted on.
Every server runs in its own isolated container with the RAM and CPU of your plan reserved up front — a busy neighbor can never eat your ticks.
Snapshot your whole world in one click, stored off-server. Creeper took the base? Roll back just as fast.
Try it — hit install. Or see how modpack hosting works.
Console, backups, files, mods, sharing — all where your least technical friend can find them. Invite co-owners as operators or viewers.
Keep up to five saves on a single plan — survival, skyblock, a modded run — each with its own version, mods, and settings. Switch in one click; your join address never changes.
Turn on crossplay (Paper, Fabric, NeoForge) and friends on PC, console, and phone all spawn in the same world.
That's what crossplay means: Minecraft is sold as two incompatible games — Java Edition on PC and Bedrock Edition everywhere else — and normally they can't share a server. On Campfire, one checkbox merges them: everyone joins the same world at the same address.
Enable crossplay and we install GeyserMC (the protocol bridge) and Floodgate (Bedrock sign-in), matched to your software and version on every rebuild. No config files, no jar updates, no second port to manage.
Floodgate lets Bedrock players join with the Microsoft/Xbox sign-in they already have — nobody has to buy the game twice.
Crossplay needs server software that can run Geyser. Pick the "Crossplay" play style in the create form — or choose Paper, Fabric or NeoForge yourself and tick "Enable crossplay". The toggle only appears where it actually works.
Under the hood it's still a full Java server, so the plugin ecosystem works for everyone — a Bedrock player on a phone trips the same claims and shops as a Java player on PC.
Java connects over TCP, Bedrock over UDP — same host, same port, wired automatically. You share exactly one address in the group chat.
Pick the "Crossplay" play style in the create form — or choose Paper, Fabric or NeoForge and tick "Enable crossplay (Java + Bedrock)".
Java players add it as a server; Bedrock players add it under Servers with the same host and port.
Phones, tablets, laptops and desktops in the same world, the same chat, the same base.
A single server both editions of Minecraft can join: Java Edition players (PC, Mac, Linux) and Bedrock Edition players (consoles, phones, tablets, Windows) share one world, one chat and one address. Out of the box the two editions are incompatible — a crossplay server bridges them with GeyserMC.
In the Campfire create form, pick the "Crossplay" play style — or choose Paper, Fabric or NeoForge as your server software and tick "Enable crossplay (Java + Bedrock)". That's the whole setup: GeyserMC and Floodgate install and configure themselves. Crossplay isn't available on Vanilla (it can't load plugins) or Forge (no modern Geyser build).
Your server runs Java Edition with GeyserMC, which translates the Bedrock protocol in real time — Bedrock players connect to the same address and Geyser makes them look like Java players to the server. We install and configure it automatically when you enable crossplay.
Java on PC/Mac/Linux joins natively. Bedrock on Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android joins directly by address. Consoles (Switch, Xbox, PlayStation) don't offer an "add server" field for arbitrary addresses, so they need a workaround like the BedrockTogether app or a DNS trick.
No. Floodgate (installed automatically with crossplay) authenticates Bedrock players through their existing Microsoft/Xbox account, so each player only needs the edition they already own.
Minor ones — Geyser translates almost everything, but a few Java-specific interactions (like precise redstone quirks and some custom item models) behave slightly differently. For survival with friends, it's seamless in practice.
