Crossplay Minecraft: Java servers

Java servers tagged crossplay run Geyser and Floodgate, a translation layer that lets phone, console and Windows players join without owning Java. Two practical details: you connect on the Bedrock port (usually 19132, and it's UDP, not the Java port), and Floodgate normally prefixes Bedrock names with a dot, which matters for whitelists and vote rewards. Expect chest menus to arrive as Bedrock forms and combat timing to feel slightly off; the depth of Java plugins is the trade.
