About bridge.

bridge. is a powerful add-on editor designed to speed up your development process. It provides a rich editing experience for all files inside behavior and resource packs (JavaScript, JSON and functions) and provides a powerful work environment. Unleash the full power of add-ons with bridge. plugins and make use of rich auto-completions provided as you navigate through a file. Creating Minecraft add-ons was never more convenient!

Why you should use bridge.

Most importantly, JSON editors like bridge. guarantee that you cannot write invalid JSON. Additionally, "bridge." has a few more specific features which other editors do not offer:

• bridge. interacts seamlessly with Minecraft and loads behavior packs and the corresponding resource pack from the com.mojang folder automatically
• You cannot make general file structure mistakes because rich auto-completions guide you through the file
• You do not need to study vanilla files and/or the incorrect documentation to find out which arguments a component has
• Support for plugins: From custom components to searching files - bridge. plugins can do almost anything
• Developing is generally significantly faster

Auto-Completions

• Rich auto-completions for entities, loot tables, trades, spawn rules, biomes, items, blocks, recipes, features, feature rules, animations and animation controllers
• Handcrafted: We don't trust the Minecraft documentation and you shouldn't either. That's why we wrote all suggestions by hand
• Context sensitive: bridge. proposes different data depending on what you wrote before. Adding e.g. a new item results in the corresponding identifier being proposed whenever an item identifier is a valid value throughout your behavior and resource pack files.
• Ability to switch between auto-completions for multiple Minecraft versions seamlessly: We always support the latest stable release and the latest beta
