## What it is
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
