endstone 0.11.4

Endstone offers a plugin API for Bedrock Dedicated Servers, supporting both Python and C++.

Endstone

High-performance Minecraft Bedrock server software
Extensible with Python and C++ plugins

Why Endstone?

Bedrock's official addon and script APIs let you add content, but can hardly modify core gameplay. Custom servers like PocketMine and Nukkit offer that control, but sacrifice vanilla features. Endstone gives you both: cancellable events, packet control, and deep gameplay access with full vanilla compatibility. Think of it as Paper for Bedrock. If you've ever wished Bedrock servers had the same modding power as Java Edition, this is it.

Quick Start

Get your server running in seconds:

pip install endstone
endstone

Then create your first plugin:

from endstone.plugin import Plugin
from endstone.event import event_handler, PlayerJoinEvent


class MyPlugin(Plugin):
    api_version = "0.10"

    def on_enable(self):
        self.logger.info("MyPlugin enabled!")
        self.register_events(self)

    @event_handler
    def on_player_join(self, event: PlayerJoinEvent):
        event.player.send_message(f"Welcome, {event.player.name}!")

• Always up-to-date - Designed to stay compatible with the latest Minecraft Bedrock releases so you're never left behind.

• Python & C++ plugins - Write plugins in Python for rapid development, or use C++ when you need maximum performance. The choice is yours.

• Powerful API - A comprehensive API with 60+ events covering players, blocks, actors, and more. Includes commands, forms, scoreboards, inventories, and a full permission system.

• Drop-in replacement - Works with your existing Bedrock worlds and configurations. Just install and run.

• Familiar to Bukkit developers - If you've developed plugins for Java Edition servers, you'll feel right at home with Endstone's API design.
