Bedrock add-on downloads: CurseForge.

  • ViaProxy: Run one JAR, enter a Bedrock server address in its window, then join the address ViaProxy shows from your regular Java client. You do not need client mods.
  • ViaFabricPlus + Bedrock add-on: Put two matching JARs in a Fabric client’s mods folder. Join Bedrock servers from the game’s Multiplayer screen, or use the add-on’s Friends and Realms menus.

The player guide walks through both setups. The downloads page lists the JARs and a .mrpack with the tested Fabric client mods.

You play from Java Edition with either setup. StackAnvil does not turn a Java server into a Bedrock server or change your singleplayer worlds.

What is StackAnvil?

ViaProxy connects a regular Java client to a Bedrock server through a local proxy. ViaFabricPlus and its Bedrock add-on put Bedrock support in a Fabric client. Our builds include changes to ViaProxy, the add-on, and their ViaBedrock and CubeConverter libraries.

We publish each change separately for review by the original projects. Players can try the patched builds while that review continues.

This is an independent experimental build, not an official ViaVersion release. Some Bedrock behavior can still fail or differ from the Bedrock game.
