# Bedrock Crossplay Beta

Starting today, Bedrock crossplay is now open on Hoplite!

Bedrock players can connect to `mc.hoplite.gg` to join! (Use default port: 19132)

This means you can now hop on Hoplite from just about any device you could think of!

You can also link your Java and Bedrock accounts together to join on the same profile from both platforms! Instructions at https://link.geysermc.org/.

Unlinked players will have a dot at the start of their username, otherwise their Java Edition username is used. (Not all bedrock players have a dot at the start of their name!)

Players on Bedrock Edition can’t use in-game voice chat, and won’t be able to join Competitive Duels for the time being. Sorry!

We’ll be monitoring player activity, and may make the decision to separate Java/Bedrock queues into their own games.

Since Bedrock is a new platform, we are expecting there to be issues. If you encounter any problems or unexpected behavior on Bedrock edition, please submit a ticket in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/hoplite) to report the bug!

# Battle Royale

## New One Block LTM

A new mode is dropping into custom games and as an LTM!

In this 60-player mode, you’ll start out surrounding the cornucopia. Loot up and drop down the center to be transported to your One Block!

Mine your One Block to generate more resources, and progress through the phases of the One Block! Right-click your One Block to view your phase progression and see what items are available. Don’t throw out your compass and recipe book just yet! There are special crafts and islands to explore.

After 15 minutes, the Cave Islands will spawn in where you can collect more ores, and meet-up with players.

Later, the End Islands will appear and unlock access to the end dimension and the dragon egg! The outer end is not open for business.

Soon enough, the border will shrink in and force players to fight to the death at mid.

## Second Chance & Vanilla Maps in Solo Games

The Second Chance scenario is now enabled by default in Solo Royale games.

- Players who die before Mining Phase will be respawned.

The default map type in Solo Royale has been changed to Vanilla maps.
