Project mention: Minecraft bedrock: What vanilla features is NukkitX missing? | /r/admincraft | 2023-05-18

NukkitX by default doesn't have anything above 1.12 Mineacraft. It also doesn't have maps by default (though you can use a plugin for this). One other way to see is taking a look at the currently open GitHub issues.
Floodgate

Project mention: How to Enable Crossplay on Minecraft Server: Bedrock and Java Edition | /r/FlameCord | 2023-07-21

Floodgate is another plugin that you need to install on your server to enable crossplay. You can download it from their official website or from their GitHub page. There are different versions of Floodgate for different types of servers, such as Spigot, Paper, BungeeCord, Waterfall and more. Make sure you download the version that matches your server type.
