+# Geyser
+A bridge between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock edition, breaking the gap from those wanting to play together.
+
+## What is Geyser?
+Geyser is a (heavy work in progress) connector (or proxy), bridging the gap between Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Minecraft: Java Edition servers.
+The ultimate goal for this project is to allow those to join Minecraft: Java Edition servers using the Bedrock Edition.
+
+### Please note, this project is still a HEAVY work in progress and probably won't be complete any time soon.

+If you're interested in development, please join our Discord server:

+you're interested in helping this project come along.
