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}!")
