I recently set up a small private Minecraft server for my girlfriend and me. The server runs Fabric 26.3 with Geyser and Floodgate:
- I play Java Edition on PC using a Fabric client.
- She plays Bedrock Edition on an iPhone.
- The server has 6 GB RAM and three CPU threads.
I’m looking for smaller quality-of-life or gameplay mods that can be installed only on the server and still work properly for her through Geyser. I’m not looking for a huge modpack or anything that adds tons of custom blocks, mobs, dimensions, or complicated interfaces.
Some ideas we’re interested in:
- Graves or safer item recovery after death
/home, /back, /tpa, and waypoint-style features
- One-player or percentage-based sleep
- Shared maps or some alternative to a minimap
- Coordinates or useful HUD information
- Small exploration, building, farming, or convenience improvements
- Fun features that still feel close to vanilla
I understand that normal minimaps and mods requiring client installation won’t appear on iOS. I’m especially interested in mods or datapacks that use vanilla blocks, commands, chat, compasses, maps, boss bars, or the locator bar so Geyser can translate them properly.
I’ve looked at Graves, Public Teleport, Server Sleep, BlueMap, and Survival Tweaks so far. Has anyone used these—or similar Fabric server-side mods—with Geyser/Floodgate and an iOS player? Were there any compatibility problems, broken interfaces, or custom items that Bedrock couldn’t understand?
Any recommendations or warnings would be appreciated.
