Gate is a high-performance, extensible Minecraft proxy server written in Go that supports Java Edition (1.8 to latest) and Bedrock Edition cross-play via integrated Geyser. It replaces BungeeCord/Velocity with a lightweight ~10MB single binary requiring no JVM, deployable via Docker or Kubernetes.

Use cases

• run a minecraft proxy without java
• set up bedrock and java cross-play on one network
• replace bungeecord or velocity with a lighter proxy
• host a multi-server minecraft network in kubernetes
• route players to backend servers by hostname with a reverse proxy
• extend a minecraft proxy with plugins in go or other languages
• manage a minecraft proxy programmatically via an api

When to choose

• you want a low-memory, JVM-free minecraft proxy for cloud or container deployments
• you need multi-version java support plus bedrock cross-play in one proxy
• you prefer building proxy extensions in go, typescript, python, rust, kotlin, or java via SDKs

When to avoid

• you rely on a large ecosystem of existing BungeeCord/Velocity Java plugins
• you need features only available in JVM-based proxy ecosystems
