[ BEDROCK PASS ] ● LAN BRIDGE / EXPERIMENTAL

BEDROCK PASS

Your server. Your device. No detours.

A tiny utility that helps Minecraft Bedrock devices discover and join compatible Minecraft servers, whether on the same LAN or reachable over the internet or a private network.

One purpose. Many platforms. CLI, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux.

01 / HOW IT WORKS

Bedrock Pass announces a LAN game to your console. When selected, it redirects the connection to a server you choose. That server may be nearby or remote.

 SAME WI-FI / LOCAL NETWORK
 +-----------------------------+
 |                             |
 | [GAME DEVICE] [BEDROCK PASS] |
 |      |              |       |
 |      +-- LAN GAME --+       |
 |         DISCOVERY           |
 +-------------+---------------+
               |
               | connect to target
               v
       [ YOUR SERVER ]
       location:
       + same LAN
       + remote (internet / VPN)

       server type:
       + Bedrock server (BDS)
       + Java server + Geyser

These are two independent choices: where the server is (local or remote), and what it runs (native Bedrock or Java + Geyser). The destination must be reachable from the device running Minecraft.

02 / GET STARTED

Connect your game console and the device running Bedrock Pass to the same Wi-Fi / local network.
Open Bedrock Pass and enter the address and port of a reachable Bedrock server or Java + Geyser server (on your LAN or remotely).
Start the LAN announcement in Bedrock Pass.
On your console, open Minecraft → Play → Friends / LAN Games (the label may vary by device).
Select the Bedrock Pass LAN server entry and connect.

Important: LAN discovery depends on the local network. Guest Wi-Fi, client isolation, or blocked broadcast/multicast traffic may prevent devices from seeing one another.

03 / RUN IT ANYWHERE

Use Bedrock Pass on whichever device is convenient. Same job, different form factor.

  CLI       $ bedrock-pass ...
  macOS     desktop app
  iOS       mobile app
  Android   mobile app
  Windows   desktop app
  Linux     CLI / Docker

  ONE PURPOSE. MANY PLATFORMS.

Platform targets are the planned product lineup, not a claim that every app has already been publicly released.

04 / PLAY ON

Built around a simple idea: your Minecraft server should be reachable from the device you already play on.

Consoles: Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation — device-specific connection support may vary.
Handheld / other gaming devices: Steam Deck and similar devices, where their Minecraft client supports the connection flow.
Phones / tablets: Android and iPhone / iPad.
Computers: Windows PC, Mac and Linux.

Not all devices above are separately verified. Some platforms can add external servers directly without Bedrock Pass. A device used to run Bedrock Pass and a device used to play Minecraft are different roles.

05 / THE IDEA

Keep it small. Run it where you want. Connect the game you already own to the server you already have.

  start Bedrock Pass
          |
          v
  discover LAN game
          |
          v
  join your server

  JUST WORKS.

Whether it's a terminal, a phone, or a desktop, the workflow stays simple.

06 / TESTED

WORKING SETUP Minestom → Velocity / Geyser → Bedrock Pass → Nintendo Switch

Version notes: Java Edition 26.3 and Bedrock Edition 26.60 (user-reported test environment).

These numbers describe an observed setup, not a guarantee of compatibility with future releases, every Bedrock platform, or every compatible server. Java-only servers require a Bedrock-compatible bridge such as Geyser.

07 / FAQ

Is this a Minecraft server?
No. Bedrock Pass helps a device discover/connect to an existing compatible server.

Can my server be on the same LAN?
Yes. The destination can be on the same LAN or on a remote network, as long as your Minecraft device can reach it.

Can I join a Java server?
Yes, when that server provides a Bedrock-compatible endpoint through Geyser. Bedrock Pass does not perform protocol conversion.

Does it convert Java into Bedrock?
No. For Java servers, a server-side protocol bridge such as Geyser is still needed.

Does the console need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
For LAN discovery, it normally needs to share a local network with the device announcing the game.

Does it provide a VPN or tunnel?
This version focuses on LAN discovery and connection handoff; it is not advertised as a full traffic tunnel.

Is it affiliated with Minecraft, Mojang, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, or Valve?
No. Independent project. Trademarks belong to their respective owners.
