Floodgate
by GeyserMC
With Floodgate installed on a server, Bedrock Edition players can join an online mode Java server without a Java account.
What it does
Floodgate lets connections from Geyser reach a server that runs in online mode, which normally accepts only Java accounts. Bedrock players sign in through their own Xbox account, and the server admits them without a separate Java login. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the server needs no other mod to run it.
Key features
Bedrock players on online mode servers
Connections from Geyser are allowed onto servers that verify Mojang accounts, which the server would otherwise refuse.
Xbox account sign-in
Bedrock players authenticate with their own Xbox account, so no Java account is needed on their side.
Server-only install
Only the server runs the mod, and clients need nothing beyond their normal Bedrock or Java setup.
