phantom reviews and mentions

• After playing minecraft for 2 years on Xbox we have realized its crap compared to PC...so, JAVA OR BEDROCK?

  There is also this project (https://github.com/jhead/phantom) that allows you to create a bridge inside your network such that it looks to your Xbox as if there were a game running on the home network but you can configure it to point anywhere - it will require running the software on a PC, it basically acts as a relay between your home network and whatever server you point it at.

  I found the Phantom distro for hosting locally on the Pi but it states not working with the Switch: https://github.com/jhead/phantom

• I have a few questions regarding playing with friends on PS4...
  1 project | /r/Minecraft | 19 Apr 2023

  The players at remote locations to the server would need to download jhead’s phantom software on GitHub and run it on a pc. This makes their local pc act as a mirror to the dedicated server and makes it look like the server is on the same network as the client, making it show up in the LAN / local games list.

• Is it possible: To get Java on the Nintendo switch, and connect on a server / realm with a computer player.

• LAN Gyser server not showing on Xbox consoles [Help]
  1 project | /r/MinecraftServer | 4 Feb 2023

  Hi, I am hosting a Minecraft Java Fabric server with Gyser and Floodgate installed to allow Bedrock players to play. The Java ports are forwarded to certain domains so people can join and this works great. I do not have permission from the network administrator to forward UDP ports so I cannot forward the bedrock ports. I am trying to expose the server to consoles and mobile devices using the 'open to LAN feature'. I discovered the 'phantom' project created by 'jhead' on github which pings devices on the network so they believe that the server is open to LAN. This works for mobile (MCPE) users and the server shows my 'friends' list under LAN worlds on my phone however on xbox consoles nothing shows. Any ideas?

• A helper app to join a LAN dedicated server if you cannot see it in the Friends tab

  Note for anyone who needs to run this on a different machine from the server: phantom should do the trick.

• Self Hosting a modded server
  2 projects | /r/admincraft | 9 Nov 2022

  As for the server, I went with paper for one main reason: I can't guarantee the kids have a computer or Java. So I run bungee, geyser/floodgate, and viaversion to make it easier to maintain the version between different clients of unsophisticated users. I even have one using Phantom to play on Xbox.

• Does anybody here willingly choose to play Bedrock over Java?

  There's also this software that proxies a server as a LAN game, which we used for a short time but it wasn't very good for my non-technical friend.

• Advice on server/hosting options

  Second option is Phantom which is a proxy server you run on a separate device, PC or Raspberry Pi. It basically tricks Minecraft on Xbox to see your server as being on the same home network. It feels more organic to use(as the server just shows up in the list of available server) but it does require the program to run on a computer, whether Windows or Linux, while you play.

• Bedrock Custom Servers (help)

  You can run minecraft phantom available here. You run it from a PC that is on the same network as the console.
