Bringing Bedrock Edition functionality into Java Edition.
Why it exists
Purpose
Two editions, two sets of capabilities. J2B MC (Java 2 Bedrock) brings Bedrock gameplay features into Java Edition and targets direct Bedrock server connectivity — so Java players get the best of both worlds.
Who it's for
Players curious about Bedrock mechanics without switching editions, and technical players exploring cross-edition connectivity.
Key capabilities
Bedrock gameplay mode
Bedrock-style combat, movement, and parity mechanics in Java.
RakNet protocol client
A native Bedrock protocol stack: handshake, encryption, and packets.
World import
Import .mcworld files into Java worlds.
