    Add ability for bedrock users to join your server

    There are more players tho plays on bedrock then on Java

    Also that could increase the server's activity by a lot

    Yea I know there are glitches but duose glitches can be fixed easily

    Also here's a poll to see how much people egress with this

    Here before deusphage to say the same thing as they would.

    It is impossible to do that. Bedrock code works entirely differently to Java, and the plugins only work in java. Bedrock is extremely janky, and for mobile users, how would they even cast spells?

    Also biased poll

    It it's possible to add a bedrock support just you need to make the mods work also in bedrock
    It's not hard also with texture pack all texture issues could be solved
    By the way it it's possible to make spells work just add a plugin what reads every masage send

    "JUST NEED TO MAKE THE MODS WORK ALSO IN BEDROCK"
    do YOU want to pay 75 developers for 18 months to get them to do that? Also IF YOU ARE ON POCKET EDITION YOU CANNOT RIGHTCLICK SO YOU COULDNT CAST SPELLS ANYWAY.

    Its a nice idea, but not gonna happen :(

    They would have to remake the entire server if they made it for bedrock as it uses completely different code, and then everything after that update would require twice as much effort as they have to update it in both places. Would be cool, but not feasible and the time would prob be better spent on other updates

    Have you tried running commands in Bedrock vs Java? Most of my friends play on bedrock, and I wanted to make a game for them using commands. You know that thing wynn does when you level up and it spawns fireworks? I wanted to do something similar. Bedrock has no commands that spawn fireworks that give off colour, so that wouldn't work. Not to mention all the redstone would be incompatible. Also what Tzelofachad said, the physical incompatibilities of devices wouldn't allow people to play either.

    I get it's annoying because I'd love to play wynn with all my friends, but it's genuinely not a possibility.

    EDIT: Wynn doesn't use mods. -_-

    Not happening. Never happening.

    Java Edition is coded in, well, Java. Bedrock (a.k.a. the infamous Bugrock edition) is coded in C++ and has a vastly different implementation of fundamental game mechanics. It would take monumental developer work to achieve Bedrock compatibility, it isn't as easy as "just refactor everything it'll be fine". Moreover, because it's largely seen as a waste of the Developer Team's time, it's not going to happen either way when the devs have bigger fish to fry.

    I really want you to tell me how we're expect to work with Wynncraft combat without a keyboard and mouse.

    AANDD we're done. That is enough *bullying* (not really but its starting to get not so nice). I feel like if nobody has any more constructive feedback on why this is impossible, OP has understood, and more responses are unnecessary. I think unless somebody has a good reason not to, or OP still needs to know more, this thread should be locked, as the last 3 responses have been nonconstructive snarky comments about "badrock"

    Controller support in Wynncraft is jank at best, since the game wasn't designed to be played on a controller (let alone a touchscreen like in Minecraft PE/Bedrock). @aws404 made an addon for Controlify that adds a few Wynntils functionalities and QoL changes to Controlify, but that's about it - controller support for Wynncraft is fairly rudimentary and requires a heavily kitted out controller to take full advantage of.

    As for the thread, the reason people don't want Bedrock support are threefold:
    • Waste of developer time: The Developer Team doesn't have the time, resources or manpower to put into porting Wynncraft to Bedrock Edition, along with a whole new can of worms that is crossplay between the two fundamentally different versions. While Salted in theory could hire an entirely separate workforce for Bedrock Edition maintenance, this would put more financial strain on the ownership as a whole and is generally not worth wasting resources on.
    • Modding support: Some, but not all, Wynncraft players also play with modded versions of the game. The main dealbreaker for these people is the inability to play with QoL mods such as Wynntils on Bedrock edition.
    • Bugs: ...well, we don't call Bedrock "Bugrock" or "Badrock" for no reason. Game breaking bugs on Bedrock would have to be amended alongside Java Edition bugs on the server side, along with several other compatibility patches to make sure the spaghetti code doesn't get angry and consume the server. But code isn't perfect, and bugs will pop up from time to time. Rather than deal with the compatibility issues that will arise from crossplay and waste development time on bugfixing cross-compat, it's better to stick with Java Edition.
