# Bedrock Cross-Play FAQ

## How do I join?

Use `play.plaguemc.xyz` with Bedrock port `19132`. The Java default port is not the Bedrock port.

## Why does something look different?

Bedrock connects through Geyser and Floodgate to a Java server. Menus, item interactions, combat timing, off-hand behavior, text formatting, and some visual details can differ from native Java behavior.

## Commands

Commands use the same leading slash and names. Autocomplete may differ, so type the documented command fully if a suggestion is missing.

## Inventory and shop interaction

Virtual shulker boxes, signs, shift-click interactions, and plugin GUIs may feel different on touch or controller. Close other interfaces and retry deliberately rather than rapid-tapping.

## Reporting a Bedrock-only issue

Include your device, Bedrock version, input method, the exact action, and whether a Java player can reproduce it.

<p class="callout info">**Cross-play translates protocols, not physics.** Most gameplay is shared, but it cannot make every Java interface identical or protect you from the same creeper in two editions.</p>
