Fixing bedrock Chat w/ Geyser and Floodgate

Step-by-Step Guide to Fix Bedrock Chat

1. Check Server Version: If using 1.19+, chat signing is the main issue. If your server is 1.19 and below, this isnt for you (update your server)
2. Install NoEncryption (Or skip to step 2½): Download and place NoEncryption (or DisableChatSigning) into the plugins/ folder, then restart the server.

   2½. If you don’t want to use plugins (Paper only), edit config/paper-global.yml and set:

   messages:
     chat:
       signed: false
     

3. Edit Floodgate Config: Open plugins/Floodgate/config.yml and change

   username-prefix: "*"
     

   Please use "*" (This configuration is widely regarded as the cleanest)

   Or change it how you like, for example:

   username-prefix: "Bed_"
     

If it doesn't work (Restart server first)

4. Check Permissions: Make sure Bedrock players have chat permissions (e.g., with LuckPerms).
5. Test Without Chat Plugins: Temporarily remove EssentialsXChat/VentureChat/DeluxeChat and restart to confirm chat works.
