In the quick setup menu, you'll be met with this screen.
Here, the menu will show you what version of Minecraft your server is running, as well as the loader. For this example, our server is running on Spigot for Minecraft 1.21.11.
On the right side of the screen, you'll see an option to install Geyser, where you will need to select which version you need, then click "Install"noticeIf you do not see any results in the "Detected Setup" area, it means you don't have any loader installed on your server. You will need to install Spigot or Paper in order for Geyser to be installed.-1767639052330.png)

Then, find the line that says "port", and change the number to the number you copied earlier from your Network and Ports" page.-1767637128326.png)
