A Minecraft client written in C# aimed at compatibility with MC:Java & MC:Bedrock

Alex

A Minecraft (Java & Bedrock Edition) client written in C#

This client requires a paid Minecraft account.

You also need access to the resources from both Java & Bedrock edition of Minecraft.

As of the current state, there are still a few resources required from the Bedrock engine, work is being done on removing this dependency.

About

This is a hobby project i work on from time to time, the end goal being it able to connect to a MC:Bedrock & MC:Java server & be feature compatible with most features required for the typical minigame server.

As of now, it is able to connect to java 1.15.2 & bedrock 1.14.1 servers.

Cloning the Repository

As we use submodules to add support for MC:Bedrock, you need to pull the submodules in order to compile Alex.

The easiest method of doing this is to clone the repository using git clone --recursive https://github.com/kennyvv/Alex.git

Requirements

Alex requires SDL2 to create it's Window, this is a free library. See SDL2 for instructions on how to install it on windows.

On Ubuntu you may run apt install libsdl2-dev for easy installation.

On MacOS you can run the following command if you have Brew installed: brew install sdl2

Contributing
