Crossplay server

[remote totem]

make a bedrock and java server to play with each version with geyser

[hybrid helm]

Geyser is a good solution for smaller servers, but it comes with limitations and compromises in mechanics and plugins.
If the goal is stability and full control over both versions, separate servers make more sense

[balmy rock]

They don’t use this because it breaks some of Bedrock’s PvP stuff, and Java works differently. It would also be harder to implement on Bedrock since the Java server is smaller than the Bedrock one.

Bad idea

[celest cove]

case in point: minerware

[late burrow]

if i'm not completely mistaken, the bedrock server runs on java
