bridge. vs Snowstorm

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.

Snowstorm is a custom editor and generator for Minecraft Bedrock Edition particle files. Its web app is available at snowstorm.app, and a Visual Studio Code extension provides another way to edit particle files; that extension requires the name pattern *.particle.json. A Quick Setup tab offers preset particle motions and appearances to get a project started. Files can be added to Minecraft Bedrock resource packs and used in experiences. The project repository identifies JannisX11 as owner, lists a GPL-3.0 license, and says the web app can be hosted locally using a preferred local server. Snowstorm is free, with a listed free version at free. The supplied platform listings include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and extension. Snowstorm is also described as a decentralized microproxy network, with client and volunteer-peer uses for censorship circumvention. Microsoft Learn says it is provided by external contributors, not Mojang or Microsoft.
