Cross play allows you to play with friends together on both Java & Bedrock edition. In this guide we'll answer whether Minecraft itself is cross-play compatible and how to get started.

Cross Play Minecraft Servers

Play on either Java or Bedrock Minecraft when you are on a cross-play Minecraft server. The benefit of cross-play is that you can play with hundreds of people across different devices.

Team up with a friend who's playing on their mobile phone, while you play with a high-end gaming PC. Explore the same worlds and complete the same challenges. The biggest bonus for mobile players is that you get all the same features that can be enjoyed on desktop. While some Bedrock servers may limit the features because of mobile, they are all available while on cross-play!

Is Minecraft Cross Play Compatible?

By design, Minecraft is not cross-play compatible. This means that by default, you cannot share a singleplayer world between versions or invite a player to it. However, thanks to the hard work by teams such as Geyser, Minecraft servers are cross-play compatible. This opens up the multiplayer section of your game to cross-play. Play all different kinds of games here, many of which are not available on singleplayer either.
