Addons Maker for Minecraft PE vs bridge.

Addons Maker for Minecraft PE is a visual editor and add-on library for Minecraft PE and several other supported games. Users can customize mobs, structures, blocks, weapons, armor, recipes, sounds, particles, functions, and Script API hooks without writing code; the app generates source code and resource files from those edits. It supports behavior and resource packs, imports.json and.bbmodel files, and exports creations as.mcaddon files for compatible Bedrock platforms. The community library contains more than 1,000 add-ons, with one-tap installation into Minecraft PE. Supported games are Minecraft PE, Craftsman, Mike Craft, Crafting and Building, and Eerskraft on iOS and Android. A profile stores and syncs add-ons across devices, and the app includes more than 20 languages. The free plan costs nothing and includes core editors, a template library, and export, with ads. MAM Premium costs $3.99 a month after a first three days free; it removes ads and unlocks advanced editing tools, and auto-renews. The maker says the tool is unofficial and is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft.

bridge. is an IDE for creating Minecraft Bedrock behavior packs, resource packs, skin packs, and world templates. It sets up projects with their required files and configuration, and supports every file type Minecraft accepts for Add-Ons. Users can work in text or tree editors; dynamic completions and schema validation help with file editing, while the tree editor is recommended for people with little JSON knowledge. Previews cover models, textures, animations, collision boxes, entity seats, and particle effects without opening Minecraft. The built-in Dash compiler supports plugins, and the extension API and store allow community tools, editors, viewers, presets, themes, and compiler plugins. Packs and worlds can sync to Minecraft’s com.mojang folder, while projects are stored elsewhere by default. The installed web app works offline. It is free and open source under GPL-3.0, with web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android versions. On mobile, projects must be downloaded to fully save progress because mobile browsers lack a required API.
