ViaBedrock

ViaVersion addon to add support for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition servers.

ViaBedrock aims to be as compatible and accurate as possible with the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition protocol.

Usage

ViaBedrock is in very early stages of development and NOT intended for regular use yet.

Do not report any bugs yet. There are still a lot of things which are not implemented yet.
