Looking for an updated MCXboxBroadcast alternative or GeyserConnect fork — console players must join Java server via Xbox Live friends list, no DNS/app

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a mod, plugin, extension, or fork that does what MCXboxBroadcast does, but better and actively maintained. The goal is to let Bedrock/console players join my Minecraft Java server without changing their DNS and without installing any app. They must be able to join through the Xbox Live friends list method.

My server setup:

• Minecraft Java 26.2
• Fabric Loader 0.19.5
• Geyser-Fabric 2.11.3-SNAPSHOT
• Floodgate 2.2.6-SNAPSHOT
• Server hosted via CraftyController in Docker
• I already use MCXboxBroadcast. It works without errors, but it lags badly when 2 or more Bedrock players or Java players join. With only one Bedrock player, everything is fine and block breaking is instant. With two, the lag becomes very bad.

What I’ve already tried:

• GeyserConnect: I downloaded it and placed it in the extensions folder, but it fails to load with: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/cloudburstmc/protocol/bedrock/packet/BedrockPacketHandler The project’s last real update was around 8 months ago, and it appears incompatible with modern Geyser 2.x versions. I couldn’t find any recent, working fork.
• Minekube Connect / Gate: Technically looks great, but it requires players to enter a custom server address or use an app/DNS workaround. Consoles do not allow custom IPs, so this does not meet the requirement.

What I need:
A solution that:

1. Lets Xbox, Switch, and ideally PlayStation players join my Java server.
2. Uses the Xbox Live friends list method (add a bot/friend, then join from the Friends tab).
3. Requires no DNS change and no extra app on the console.
4. Scales better than MCXboxBroadcast when multiple Bedrock players are online.
5. Is compatible with the Latest Geyser and Minecraft Java 26.2 on Fabric.

Does anyone know of a maintained mod/plugin/extension/fork that fits this? Or an updated GeyserConnect fork that works with Geyser 2.11.x? I’m willing to compile from source if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
