In their own words

mcbCode

mcbCode is a web and Android editor for creating Minecraft Bedrock add-ons, behavior packs, and resource packs. Its setup tool generates UUIDs, manifests, and add-on configurations. The command editor highlights selectors, coordinates, and arguments and includes syntax highlighting and error checking. JSON and JavaScript editors support modern GameTest and Bedrock Script API scripts. A browser pixel editor creates PNG textures from 16x16 through 512x512 in the active project workspace, and finished packs can be exported for Minecraft. The Free plan costs nothing and includes the code editors, texture tools, exports, and limited projects; no numeric project cap is stated. The Obsidian plan costs $4 a month and adds private projects, custom share codes, GitHub sync, and project snapshots or backups. DripstoneAI is marked coming soon. The creator is idktoast, described as a solo Bedrock developer.

Snowstorm

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.
