Link your Bedrock and Java account to GeyserMC by following these steps: First, ensure GeyserMC is properly installed on your server. Then, access the GeyserMC configuration file (`config.yml`) and enable Floodgate, which allows Bedrock players to join Java servers. Create a Floodgate database in the config folder if it doesn't exist. Each Bedrock user will need to run the `/linkaccount` command in-game, then follow on-screen instructions to link to their Java account. This enables cross-play between both versions.
