Overview #

Recreate Minecraft Bedrock Edition into your Java world using a simple button — all mechanics, all the bugs, everything Bedrockified inside your Java Edition world. One press toggles Bedrock-style gameplay, physics, combat, mob AI, redstone and more: 161 sub-systems across 13 phases (combat, physics, movement, mob AI, redstone, enchanting, food and more), each governed by one of 27 toggleable flags you control from the config screen (B key / Mod Menu). The native RakNet client (ECDH + AES-256-CFB8 encryption) lets Java players join Bedrock servers directly, and Bedrock .mcworld files can be imported into Java worlds. The core is validated against all 12 versions with a zero-crash-risk feature-parity matrix.

Recreate Minecraft Bedrock Edition into your Java world using a simple button — all mechanics, all the bugs, everything Bedrockified inside your Java Edition world. One press Bedrock-ifies gameplay, physics, combat, mob AI, redstone and more — and lets Java players join Bedrock servers directly, with 161 mechanics across 12 versions, each individually toggleable.

Quick start #

  1. Install the J2B MC mod for your 1.21.x version (1.21 → 1.21.11 published on v3.2.1; 26.x builds are blocked upstream — no mappings).
  2. Bedrock-ify a world: press the Bedrock-ify button at world creation, or toggle it later on an existing world from the config screen.
  3. Open the config screen (B key or Mod Menu) and pick your flags — 27 flags govern the 161 sub-systems across 13 phases.
  4. Explore the /j2b command suite for in-game control.
  5. Try PvP and redstone changes first in a test world — combat (attack cooldown, knockback, crits), movement, physics, mob AI and redstone all move toward Bedrock behaviour.
  6. Import a Bedrock .mcworld file into a Java world when you want Bedrock terrain in Java.
  7. For cross-edition connectivity, run /j2b connect <host> <port> — online Bedrock auth is still being verified against real servers.

Configuration #

Every mechanic group is governed by one of 27 flags, controlled from the config screen (B key or Mod Menu entry) or the /j2b command suite. Everything is individually toggleable.

Frequently asked questions #

Can I join Bedrock servers?
Yes — the native RakNet client connects Java to Bedrock servers with full ECDH + AES-256-CFB8 encryption. Online Bedrock auth is still being verified against real servers, so treat connectivity as maturing.
Does Bedrock gameplay change PvP?
Yes — combat (attack cooldown, knockback, crits), movement, physics, mob AI, redstone and 50+ other mechanics are reworked toward Bedrock.
How much can I control?
Everything — 161 sub-systems across 13 phases are governed by 27 toggleable flags (config screen via B key / ModMenu).
Which versions are supported?
1.21 through 1.21.11. 26.x builds are blocked upstream (no mappings).
Can I import Bedrock worlds?
Yes — .mcworld files can be imported into Java worlds.
Is it safe on servers?
It is validated against all 12 versions with a zero-crash-risk core and feature-parity matrix.
How do I apply Bedrock mechanics to an existing world?
Toggle Bedrock-ify later from the config screen (B key / Mod Menu) — it does not require creating a new world.
Can I pick individual mechanics?
Yes — every one of the 27 flags is individually toggleable, so you can enable Bedrock combat while keeping Java redstone, for example.
