The BedWolfMC Network is by default a Java Edition server, but we have implemented Bedrock Crossplay so that Bedrock Edition players can join as well!
Account Linking
Java/Bedrock account linking is an optional feature available to those who wish to take advantage of cross-platform play while also allowing the access of one BadWolfMC player account. This link binds your Java and Bedrock accounts together so that whichever platform you access the Network from, you will always be playing as your Java character. This allows normal access and permissions to your Java account without the need to treat your Bedrock account as an alt.
To link you're accounts you'll need to have both Java and Bedrock Edition accounts prepared to log onto the server. It's ideal if you are able to have both accounts on the same server at the same time.
From your Java account run the command:
/linkaccount [your Java username]
This will return instructions to run the same command appended by a 4-digit code from your Bedrock account. You will have 5 minutes to do so.
From your Bedrock account run:
/linkaccount [your Java username] [code]
If both accounts are online, your Bedrock account will be kicked upon successful link. You will only be able to join the server from one of these at a time.
Parity
Game play differs slightly between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Most of the more noticeable differences Bedrock users will experience will be with our unique blend of plugins, which have varying levels of Bedrock support. Many features are still available, some with workarounds. We'll do our best to include any differences here.
Plugin Compatibility
| Feature | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| Homes | Fully Compatible |
| PiggyBack | Partial Compatibility - players are able to pick up other entities but may need to use the /shakeitoff command to put them back down. |
| Player Teleport | Compatible by command only (see "Clickable Chat Elements" below) |
| VeinMiner | Fully Compatible |
| Warps | Fully Compatible |
Clickable Chat Elements
The most noticeable difference will be the inability for Bedrock players to click on chat elements. Most of these will be links or command shortcuts. The necessary workaround commands will be listed below.
- /tpaccept - Accepts a tp request from another player. This replaces the functionality of clicking the green check on a request.
- /tpdeny - Denies a tp request from another player. This replaces the functionality of clicking the red X on a request.
