What BedrockBoot is
BedrockBoot is a free Minecraft Bedrock Edition launcher for Windows and Linux. It can download GDK and UWP game versions and offers an in-launcher route to CurseForge resources. The launcher manages resource packs, behavior packs, 4D skins, saves, world templates, screenshots, and servers. Users can add multiple game directories and run separate Minecraft instances simultaneously, with automatic updates available. PaperConnect is included as an Xbox multiplayer alternative developed with BMCBL. BedrockBoot can work with BMCBL and LeviLauncher, although LeviLauncher support is incomplete. Linux users can manage and switch Xbox accounts for online play, while GDK games use ProtonGDK, which must be downloaded on first use. Windows-only tools include Java-Bedrock resource conversion, save conversion, Java resource-pack conversion, and mouse locking. Save-map editing and preview are unsupported. The project requires .NET 10.0 and uses GPLv3 with additional modification requirements.
Who it suits
BedrockBoot suits Minecraft Bedrock players on Windows or Linux who want launcher-based downloads, content management, or separate game directories. Linux users should account for the ProtonGDK runtime requirement.
