Any feature reliant on Java code must be completely rewritten from scratch using Bedrock's JavaScript API.
: Use a tool like Fernflower to read the original Java code.
: Uses JSON files, JavaScript, and WebAssembly. It relies on Mojang's official Add-on API.
Now came the final step: The Packaging.

Elias froze. The sound hadn't come from the code. It came from his hallway.

This tool is specifically designed to convert .jar mods into Bedrock-ready .mcaddon files. It automates: Automatic pack generation. File structure setup (Manifest.json, etc.). Basic optimization for Bedrock.
Java mods ran on Java code. Bedrock ran on something entirely different—JSON behavior packs and Molang scripts. He couldn't just copy the code; he had to reverse-engineer the logic, understand what the original programmer intended, and then rewrite it in a language Bedrock understood.
), and sound files. These are the easiest components to port to a Bedrock 2. Rewriting Logic (The "Hard" Part)
It wasn't perfect code, but it was a perfect illusion.
However, you can manually bridge the gap. By breaking down a Java mod into its core assets (textures, models, and logic) and rebuilding them using Bedrock’s Add-on framework, you can successfully port your favorite Java mods to Bedrock. Here is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to get it done. Step 1: Understand the Structural Differences
Before you begin extracting files, you need to understand what you are converting.
