MCBE CLI Launcher

A simple & easy CLI injector for Minecraft: Bedrock Editon meant to aid in development of native mods.

Features

• Supports both UWP & GDK builds of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

• Integrates well in various pipelines when developing native mods.

Installation

• Download the latest release.
• Start your preferred terminal such as Command Prompt or PowerShell & run MCBE.CLI.Launcher.exe.

Arguments

Argument	Description
--terminate	Terminate Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, if its already running.
--initialized	Wait for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to fully initialize when launching.
--launch <path>	Launch & inject the specified dynamic link library into Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Usage

Important

• If the game is crashing when loading in a mod then try using the --initialized argument.
• This will have the tool wait the game to be fully initialized before injecting any dynamic link library but might result in delayed injection.

• You can directly invoke the tool via your preferred terminal.

• You can use it in scripts in various pipelines.

  :: Terminate any running instance of the game.
  MCBE.CLI.Launcher.exe --terminate
  
  :: Build our native mod using our preferred toolchain.
  Build.cmd
  
  :: Inject our native mod into a fresh instance of the game.
  MCBE.CLI.Launcher.exe --launch Dynamic.Link.Library.dll --initialized
