Minecraft Bedrock Launchers: LeviLauncher, Version Switchers and More

The official way to play Bedrock is through the Minecraft Launcher or the app on your device, and it always runs the newest version. But sometimes you need something else: an older version for a map or add-on, a second install for testing, or Bedrock on a computer that does not normally support it. That is what community launchers are for.

Important: all of the launchers below need you to own Minecraft Bedrock. They are not a way to get the game for free, and you should stay away from any site that offers "cracked" launchers. Those are a common way to spread malware.

LeviLauncher (Windows)

A desktop launcher for the current Windows version of Bedrock. It is made by LiteLDev, the team behind the LeviLamina modding platform.

LeviLaunchroid (Android)

An Android launcher from the same team. It needs the official Minecraft app from Google Play installed on your phone. Get the newest APK from its GitHub releases page.

BedrockLauncher (Windows)

An unofficial launcher for Bedrock with version choices and profiles.

MCLauncher (Windows)

An older tool for installing several Bedrock versions side by side. Its own page warns that it has become unreliable since the Windows version of Bedrock moved to a new system, so it may not work with newer versions.

mcpelauncher (Linux and Mac)

Bedrock has no official Linux or Mac version. This community project runs the Android version of Bedrock on Linux and macOS. It is unofficial and can be unstable, and it needs a copy of the game bought on Google Play.

Before you use an older version

  • Back up your worlds first. Opening a world in a different version can damage it. See how to back up a world.
  • Older versions cannot join servers or Realms that run the newest version.
  • Some add-ons need a minimum version, so they will not load in older versions.

Staying safe

  • Download launchers only from their GitHub releases page or official site.
  • Avoid copies on random download sites and "unlocked" versions.
  • Never type your Microsoft password anywhere except the official Microsoft sign-in page.
