How to Let Console Players Join With MCXboxBroadcast

Minecraft on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch doesn't let players add their own servers. MCXboxBroadcast works around this: it signs in to an Xbox account and broadcasts your server as a game that account's friends can join.

Before you start

You need Geyser set up first: see How to Install Geyser and Floodgate.

You also need a spare Microsoft account for the broadcast. Don't use your own.

Install it

MCXboxBroadcast is a Geyser extension.

1. Download the extension .jar from MCXboxBroadcast's GitHub releases.
2. Stop the server, and upload it to Geyser's extensions folder in Files (for example plugins/Geyser-Spigot/extensions).
3. Start the server and watch Console. It shows a code and a link to sign in with the spare Microsoft account.
4. Open the link, enter the code, and sign in.

Join from a console

1. On the console, add the spare account as a friend.
2. Open Minecraft and go to the Friends tab. Your server appears there; join it.
