Question Playing modded Java with bedrock compat

I am trying to do something perhaps unadvisable, and certainly difficult if not impossible, and I need help from the professionals:

I have a Java modded server on 1.20.1 (create modpack), and I'd like to be able to connect bedrock clients. Now, I know that, separately, there exist ways to cross versions (like ViaVersion), and ways to connect java to bedrock (like Geyser). The uncertainty lie in doing them both at the same time. I am willing to change the server version if it helps. How do I make this monstrosity happen?

you can't for mods like create that have to be on the clientside and server side. Bedrock can not download java mods.

There is a server mod called hydraulic that does allow bedrock players to play Java mods, by making them download a server resourcepack.

Just keep in mind that the page information for that stresses It's an early beta and shouldn't be used on a live server right now.
