MCXboxBroadcast is a valuable addition to a Minecraft server running cross-play through GeyserMC, as it enhances the experience for Xbox players. This plugin cleverly bridges the communication gap between Java and Bedrock, allowing server updates and announcements to be broadcast directly to Xbox consoles. Making the server visible on Xbox friends lists simplifies joining for console players and fosters a more connected cross-platform community.
