<Q>
Do I need Floodgate in order to use Geyser?
<A>
No; Floodgate is only required if you wish to allow Bedrock clients to join without authenticating to Java servers. Without the Floodgate plugin, Geyser can either authenticate to Mojang in online mode, or join without authentication in an offline mode server (though this is unsupportable and dangerous as anyone can join your server and is against Mojang's EULA).
No, but it's highly recommended.

Floodgate is required if you wish to allow Bedrock clients to join without proving they own the Java version on every login. Without the Floodgate plugin, Geyser can either authenticate to Mojang in online mode, or join without authentication in an offline mode server (but this is unsupported and dangerous as anyone can join your server and it's against Mojang's EULA). With Floodgate, Bedrock clients don't need to own the Java version of the game, but do still need to authenticate with Xbox.
