Overview

Floodgate is a hybrid mode plugin. It introduces new features:

• Ability to join Minecraft: Java Edition servers with Minecraft: Bedrock accounts without needing a paid Minecraft: Java Edition account.
• Ability to see Bedrock player skins on Java edition.
• Ability for plugins to send Bedrock forms.
• Ability to query players through the Global Api,
• Allowing Bedrock players to link to a Java account using Global Linking, or Local Linking.

This is something you install in addition to Geyser. Unlike Geyser, Floodgate can only be installed as a plugin on Spigot (including Paper and forks), Bungeecord, Velocity, and as a mod on Fabric servers, and can only be utilized on servers that have it installed.
