Legacy Cross Play

Any questions, need help? Join the server!

CURRENTLY, THE ORIGINAL LEGACY CLIENT IS BROKEN, USE THIS ONE

This project allows Legacy Console Edition clients to join a vanilla 1.8 Java Edition server!

How to Install

Code modifications, or server plugins ARE NOT required!

• Install NodeJS, you may need to restart your computer after
• Start a localhost Java Edition server running on port 25564, and in offline mode (you can edit these in server.properties)
• Run the file install_dependencies.bat, - you only need to run this file one time.
• Run start.bat, the Java Edition server will appear in the join tab on Legacy Console Edition! You can configure the server IP / PORT in constants.js.

Known issues, will be fixed

• Chunk lighting is always lit
• You're unable to craft in survival mode
• You're unable to accept villager trades
