What it is

bedrockR is a free, open-source visual maker for Minecraft Bedrock add-ons. It runs on Windows and Linux and is intended to make add-on creation less confusing and tedious. Windows downloads provide a portable EXE in a ZIP archive and an MSI installer for 64-bit systems. Linux releases include Debian DEB installers and portable builds for ARM64 and AMD64; the maker says Debian builds can be installed on Chromebook. Universal JAR builds require Java 25, and other Java versions are unsupported. The project wiki includes guides for making a basic item, block and recipe, plus a food tutorial video. bedrockR describes itself as alpha, so features and behavior may change. Feedback is requested through Discord and GitHub issues. Since version a2.0, its add-on creation code can be used in other projects through a Maven library on JitPack; earlier releases do not work there and are discouraged as libraries. The project says it is not associated with Mojang AB or Microsoft Corp.
