Allow instance switching between Bedrock version and Java version of Minecraft

[livid carbon]

I don't know if this feature will be used much, or if it will even be added in the future...? but someone might need it anyway

on the left is the original, on the right is my edit which is my guess where this function could be located.
(I wonder if it will be possible to accommodate addons in bedrock minecraft without buying addons)

Не знаю много ли будет использоваться эта функция, и вообще добавят ли ее в будущем?... но все равно возможно оно кому то понадобиться

слева оригинал, справа мой эдит который мой предположить где может находиться эта функция
(интересно возможно ли будет вмещать аддоны в бедрок майнкрафт не покупая аддоны)

Hello, Minecraft Bedrock has closed-source code, which makes it impossible to create a launcher for it. You could try to create one, but there would be too many errors.

to much effort to support bedrock. Unless someone implement it and send PR to my repo

plus bedrock is switching from UWP to GDK, meaning soon it wont be locked down in the windows apps folder. Essentially, it will have it's own .mincraft folder in appdata in the near future

might be something to look into for a future update (to my knowledge there isnt any launcher besides the vanilla one that can launch both versions, so there would definitely be an audience for that)

Let's not forget about multi-platform support, + I can't find how they download Minecraft.

Seems like it, but the thing is...why? I mean they're downloading it from the Microsoft Store, even though you can just download it from there and that's it.

You can go back to previous versions with this for fun. It can be very useful too. It also used to let you modift stuff like the dlss files without windows saying "this app is broken" on launch. But ow you can do that regardless with GDK. I honestly just think it would be cool to have everything in one launcher though

cause only vanilla does that rn

The implementation is the same in both the old and the latest version. The launcher focuses only on the Java version; adding Bedrock requires implementing and translating a lot of things.

Do not forget about multiplatform, Linux, Mac, Windows
