⚠️ Important warnings​

Please read these before using Java Mode:

  • A valid Java Edition account (Microsoft) is required
  • Packet translation may not be perfect. It could trigger the server’s anti-cheat system and result in a ban. We are not responsible in such cases
  • Certain servers explicitly prohibit Bedrock clients always check the server rules before joining
  • MCCompanion is not responsible for any account bans, suspensions, or other account-related issues that result from using this feature
  • Use at your own risk
tip

Not sure if a server allows Bedrock clients? Check their website or Discord before connecting it'll save you a headache later.
