BedrockBoot

Project Overview

BedrockBoot is a Minecraft Bedrock Edition launcher for Windows and Linux, forked from BedrockLauncher.Core and built with Avalonia and C#. It integrates game and CurseForge resource downloads right in the launcher and ships its own PaperConnect online-play scheme, so Bedrock play no longer depends on Xbox. Multi-directory, multi-instance, version isolation, and multi-account management come along too.

Downloads, resources, instances, and online play all in one Bedrock launcher.

Key Features

• Download the game: supports GDK and UWP types across releases
• Download resources: browse and download CurseForge resources inside the launcher
• Resource-pack management: manage resource packs, behavior packs, skin packs, saves, world templates, screenshots, and servers
• Resource conversion: convert resources and saves between Java and Bedrock inside the launcher
• Online play: a built-in PaperConnect component for playing with friends without Xbox
• Multi-directory, multi-instance: add several game directories and run multiple instances at once
• Version isolation: keep instances separate so their resources do not mix
• Account management: sign in to and switch XBOX accounts on Windows and Linux
• Mouse lock: keep the pointer inside the game window to avoid stray clicks
• Mod support: install and manage LeviLamina and its mods, plus various DllMods
• Plugin extension: download officially listed plugins to extend the launcher
• Deep personalization: change fonts, backgrounds, and background music, with 3D parallax backgrounds

Target Audience

• Windows and Linux Minecraft Bedrock players
• Players who manage several versions and instances
• Bedrock players who want mods, textures, and skins
• Users who prefer online play without Xbox

Quick Start

Windows

1. Make sure the system is Windows 10 (19041 or later) or Windows 11
2. Download the release and extract it to a non-protected directory, then run BedrockBoot.exe
3. Open the "Download" module and pick the Bedrock version or resource pack you need
4. Configure the instance and click start to enter the game

Linux

1. Download the release and run BedrockBoot.AppImage (Arch users can paru -S bedrockboot)
2. On first launch, download the ProtonGDK runtime dependency
3. Open the "Download" module and pick the version or resource pack you need
4. Configure the instance and click start to enter the game

Core Advantages

• All-in-one management: downloads, resources, mods, saves, and instances in one window
• Freer online play: PaperConnect frees Bedrock multiplayer from Xbox
• Cross-platform: runs on Windows and Linux, with Linux using ProtonGDK for GDK
• Extensible and fun: plugins, skins, and themed appearances personalize the launcher itself

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Windows 10 (19041+) / 11, Linux
Linux dependency	ProtonGDK runtime (downloaded by the launcher on first use)
Building from source	.NET 10 SDK, Visual Studio 2022 or Rider

Notes

• On first launch the launcher detects and fills in missing runtime components, so stay online
• Running GDK on Linux needs ProtonGDK, so allow time for the download and extraction
• Other third-party Bedrock launchers are compatible, though LeviLauncher support is not yet complete
• Previewing and editing save maps is not available yet
