Minecraft Bedrock NetherNet Update for Geyser Servers

Bedrock Connectivity Update

Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.60, released on 27 October, replaced the old RakNet connection method with NetherNet. Servers must support NetherNet for players on this version to connect.

We've rolled out a panel update to handle this for our Paper + Geyser servers. Nothing has changed for Java players.

Paper + Geyser servers

The update is now available. Here's what you need to do:

1. Restart your server when prompted by the panel banner. We haven't forced a restart.
2. Find your new Bedrock address on the panel's Console page, below your normal server address.
3. Share it with your Bedrock players. Anyone who saved the old address must update the port in their saved server entry.
4. If a yellow warning appears beside the Bedrock address, follow its instructions. This usually means updating Geyser and restarting. Older Minecraft servers may also need ViaVersion or a server update.

The panel configures NetherNet automatically. Your new Bedrock port is free and doesn't count toward your port limit. Bedrock players will see a "trust this server" prompt the first time they connect. This is normal.

Manually installed Geyser

If you installed Geyser yourself on Paper, Velocity, or another server type, this change wasn't automated. You'll need to update Geyser and enable NetherNet yourself.

If only your Java port is available, Geyser can use the free Warden service instead. Check your server console for the Bedrock join address.

Vanilla Bedrock servers

Standalone Vanilla Bedrock servers weren't included in this rollout. NetherNet support for these requires separate work. They remain unavailable for new orders and in the version and game switchers.

If you need help, contact support and include any warning shown in your panel or errors shown in your client.
