Bedrock Server Hosting for Minecraft (mobile, console, Win10)

Bedrock server hosting for Minecraft is what you need when players join from phones, consoles and Windows 10/11 — not just PCs. Bedrock is a separate edition with its own protocol, so you either run a native Bedrock server or a Java core with the Geyser bridge for cross-play. Elysium deploys both on Ryzen + NVMe Gen4 with a panel and DDoS protection.

Bedrock vs Java — why it matters for hosting

Java Edition and Bedrock Edition are technically different games: different network protocols, different world formats, incompatible clients. A Java player can't connect to a pure Bedrock server, and a Bedrock phone can't join plain Java. So the first question when ordering is who your audience is: only mobile and console players, or a mixed group that includes PCs.

If everyone's on Bedrock, a native Bedrock Dedicated Server fits. If the group also has PC players, it's almost always easier to start from Java: a Paper or Purpur core plus a bridge that lets Bedrock clients in.

Cross-play via Geyser + Floodgate

Geyser is a proxy bridge that translates Bedrock connections into the Java protocol on the fly, and Floodgate lets those players join without a separate Java purchase. The result: phone, console and PC all land in one world with shared builds, chat and progress. It installs like any other plugin on Paper/Purpur — from the panel, with no manual network wrangling.

Mixed audience? Start from Java

If your players include both PCs and phones/consoles, run a Java core (Paper or Purpur) and add Geyser + Floodgate. That gets everyone into the world while keeping access to Java's rich plugin ecosystem. A pure Bedrock server makes sense when the whole team plays Bedrock only.

What's in the plan

Every plan is Ryzen + NVMe Gen4, the Pterodactyl panel, automatic backups and DDoS protection. Bedrock is lighter on resources than modded Java, so a friends cross-play server starts on an affordable plan. How to pick a plan without overpaying is on the cheap hosting page; the general overview is on Minecraft hosting.

Frequently asked questions

How is Bedrock different from Java for hosting?

Bedrock is the edition for phones, consoles and Windows 10/11; Java is for PCs. They use different protocols: a normal Java client can't join a pure Bedrock server and vice versa. So for a mixed crowd people usually run a Java core with the Geyser bridge, which lets Bedrock players in too.

Can we play together from phone and PC?

Yes. On a Paper or Purpur core you add Geyser + Floodgate — a bridge that lets Bedrock players (phone, console, Win10) join a Java server without a separate account. Everyone ends up in one world with shared builds and progress.

Do you host a pure Bedrock server too?

Yes, we can deploy a native Bedrock Dedicated Server if that's exactly what you need and your whole audience is on Bedrock. Message support when ordering and we'll set up the right configuration. For cross-play with PC players, Java + Geyser is usually more convenient.

How much RAM does a Bedrock server need?

Bedrock is lighter than Java: a small friends server is fine on 2–4 GB. For the Java + Geyser route, size it to the Java core and plugins — typically 3–6 GB for a moderate player count.
