bedrockR
What it is
bedrockR is a free, open-source visual maker for Minecraft Bedrock add-ons. It is designed to make add-on creation less confusing and tedious, using a graphical interface rather than requiring only manual file editing. The project provides Windows and Linux builds. Windows downloads include a portable EXE in a ZIP archive and an MSI installer for 64-bit systems. Linux options include Debian DEB installers and portable ARM64 and AMD64 versions, and the maker says Debian builds can be installed on Chromebook. Universal JAR builds require Java 25; other Java versions are unsupported. Wiki material covers creating a basic item, block, and recipe, with a food tutorial video also listed. bedrockR describes itself as alpha, so features and behavior may change. Feedback is requested through Discord and GitHub issues. Since a2.0, its add-on creation code is available as a Maven library through JitPack.
