The Bedrockified project aims to implement Bedrock Edition mechanics into Java edition to ensure we understand these mechanics properly.
The following should have parity between Bedrockified and real Bedrock edition:
- Biome generation (only the biomes, not every tree will be the same)
- Overworld and Nether structure locations
- Slime chunks
- Spawn point
There are two easy ways to install Bedrockified, one using MultiMC and one using the server JAR. It is also possible to install the client version of Bedrockified on the vanilla launcher, but this is complicated so there are no instructions here.
- Download the client version of the Bedrockified zip from the releases page.
- Download and install MultiMC from https://multimc.org if you don't have it already.
- Create a new instance for Minecraft version 1.13.1 (note this is not the latest version!).
- Click "edit instance", and on the right, "add to Minecraft.jar".
- Navigate to and select the Bedrockified zip.
- Start the game.
- Download the server version of the Bedrockified zip from the releases page.
- Download the 1.13.1 Minecraft server from Mojang.
- Move the server JAR into a separate folder, and execute it once from the command line using
java -jar server.jar
. - Open
eula.txt
, read the EULA it links to, then change the value to true. - Copy the contents of the Bedrockified zip into the server jar (which is just a zip with a different file extension), overwriting existing entries. How you do this is up to you, but I recommend 7zip.
- Launch the server again, it should be running Bedrockified. Connect to it with a vanilla 1.13.1 client.
Bedrockified uses jarmod-buildsystem-2 by Earthcomputer, built on top of ForgeGradle 3.0 for making JAR mods in Minecraft: Java Edition 1.13+
- You need to have at least JDK8 update 92 for recompilation to work, due to a bug in earlier versions of
javac
. You also cannot use JDK9 or JDK10 yet. - You need to have
git
installed. - Eclipse Oxygen.3 or later, due to this Eclipse bug.
- Or Intellij
- Copy all the files in this repository into your new project folder.
- Delete the example mod from inside
patches
(do not delete thepatches
directory itself) and from insidesrc/main/java
. - Edit
conf/settings.json
for your project. Each setting is described in more detail below. - Run
gradlew setup
to decompile and deobfuscate the code. - Run
gradlew eclipse
to setup the appropriate Eclipse projects. Do this even if you are planning on using Intellij IDEA. - If you use Eclipse, open Eclipse, and navigate to
File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace
. Navigate to and select theprojects
subdirectory, and check your mod project, and optionally the clean (unmodified) project too. - Otherwise, open Intellij IDEA and import the Eclipse project.
Once you have setup the project, you should see a file structure in Eclipse which looks something like this:
- src/main/java This is where all of the MINECRAFT classes go, i.e. classes which you may or may not have modified, but no classes you have added.
- src/main/resources Similar to src/main/java except for non-java files.
- main-java This is where all of the MOD classes go, i.e. the classes which you have added.
- main-resources Similar to main-java except for non-java files.
From outside Eclipse, the file structure looks a little different. However, you should avoid editing these files from outside Eclipse:
- src/main/java The MOD classes
- src/main/resources The MOD resources
- patches Patches your mod has made to the MINECRAFT classes, which can be pushed to public repositories
- projects/<modname>/src/main/java * The MINECRAFT classes
- projects/<modname>/src/main/resources * The MINECRAFT resources
- projects/clean/src/main/java * The unmodified MINECRAFT classes
- projects/clean/src/main/resources * The unmodified MINECRAFT resources
* = ignored by git
- You should be able to run Minecraft directly from within the IDE.
- Every time you checkout a branch which has changed files in the
patches
directory, you need to rungradlew setup
again to update the code insrc/main/java
inside Eclipse. This will not try to decompile again like it did the first time, so won't take long. - Every time you make changes to MINECRAFT classes and want to push to the public repo, you need to run
gradlew genPatches
to update the patch files in thepatches
directory. This takes a few seconds. - When you are ready to create a release, run
gradlew createRelease
. This may take longer than the other tasks because it is recompiling the code. Once it is done, your releases can be found in thebuild/distributions
directory.
modname
the name of your mod.modversion
the version your mod is on.mcpconfig
the MCPConfig version you are using.mappings
the MCP mappings you are using.mcversion
the Minecraft version.pipeline
, eitherjoined
,client
orserver
- whether your mod is to be a client-side-only or server-side-only mod, or to be both and share the same codebase.clientmain
the main class on the client.servermain
the main class on the server.reformat
whether to run Artistic Style on the code to reformat it. Makes the build process a little slower but does mean you can change the formatting options withconf/astyle.cfg
.customsrg
The custom tsrg file inside theconf/
folder, to override the one in the MCPConfig distribution, used to deobfuscate even newer Minecraft versions.
1.13 modding is still in its infancy, and there are already known bugs that occur in the decompiled code which do not occur in vanilla. If you care about maintaining vanilla behaviour, then whenever making a change which may modify a certain vanilla class, make sure to weigh up the benefit of modifying said class against the risk that there might be a decompile bug in the class. This situation is constantly improving as 1.13 modding matures, but for now you can at least minimize the effect by distributing as few modified classes as possible.
