Beta Platform v3.2.1

J2B MC

Bringing Bedrock Edition functionality into Java Edition.

Beta · Bedrock-style gameplay is partially implemented; Bedrock server connectivity is a working protocol scaffold pending real-server verification.

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.
