title: Geyser Hosting Provider Modded Setup
description: Learn how to set up Geyser on your Fabric or NeoForge server from a hosting provider.
---

import { Versions } from '@site/src/components/Versions'

:::caution
Geyser-Fabric and Geyser-NeoForge run **only** on a <Versions platform="java"/> server.
See [this page](/wiki/geyser/supported-versions#fabric-neoforge-servers) for more details.
:::

:::info
Geyser only works with **server-side** mods. Mods that require a client-side install will not work!
:::

1. Select your server hosting provider in the dropdown above.
2. Download the mod from [the download page](/download).
3. Place the Geyser mod jar in the `mods` folder, and restart the server. **For Fabric, you will also need [FabricAPI](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api).**
4. Open your Geyser config, located in `/config/Geyser-Fabric/config.yml` (or `/config/Geyser-NeoForge/config.yml`), and find the following:

    ```yaml
    bedrock: 
      # The IP address that will listen for connections.
      # Generally, you should only change this if you want to limit what IPs can connect to your server.
      address: 0.0.0.0

      # The port that will Geyser will listen on for incoming Bedrock connections.
      # Since Minecraft: Bedrock Edition uses UDP, this port must allow UDP traffic.
      port: 19132

      # Some hosting services change your Java port everytime you start the server and require the same port to be used for Bedrock.
      # This option makes the Bedrock port the same as the Java port every time you start the server.
      clone-remote-port: false
    ``` 
    The vital part is the port. This is the port that Bedrock players will use to connect to your server. 
    Follow the instructions in the provider selector - change the port, and if necessary, `clone-remote-port` & `address`.
    If `clone-remote-port` is enabled, the bedrock port will be overwritten with the Java port!
    **Important**: Other services/mods that rely on ports with UDP, such as Voice Chats or Query, cannot share the port with Geyser.

5. Verify whether connections are possible by running `geyser connectiontest <ip> <port>` in the console.

To allow Bedrock Edition players to join your server without needing to log in to a paid Java Edition account, you can use <a href="/wiki/floodgate/setup/">Floodgate</a>.
