# the mcbCode app the mcbCode app is coming soon. it'll bring what mcbCode does to android devices, giving you a way to work on your minecraft bedrock projects without needing to keep a browser tab open like it's 2014. --- ## what is the mcbCode app? the mcbCode app is the upcoming mobile app for mcbCode. it'll allow you to connect to your mcbCode account and projects without leaving the browser. --- ## why make an app? ### isn't mcbCode already a website? yes. the website isn't going away. the app is being made to provide a more dedicated experience for people who want to use mcbCode as an actual application rather than another browser tab. the app may also allow us to provide features that aren't practical or possible in the browser version. --- ## what platforms will it support? android. we have little to no care to add support for iOS or apple devices (sorry lol). additional platforms may be supported later. --- ## will i need a new account? no. the app will use your existing mcbCode account. your projects, settings, profile, and other account information will remain connected to the same mcbCode account you already use on the website. --- ## will my existing projects work in the app? yes. there isn't much to explain there. your existing projects will sync from the web when you sign in. --- ## will it work offline? actually? i dont know yet. the initial release will be basic. such as signing in, creating/editing projects and basic stuff. over time more and more features will be added though. --- ## will the app replace the website? no. the website will continue to be the main place to access mcbCode. the app is an additional way to use mcbCode, not a replacement for the website. --- ## will the app be free? yes! mcbCode is one of the only things that does what it does, and we do not want to remove this ability. the features that require pro will still require pro on the app. --- ## will obsidian work in the app? yes. all features of obsidian will --- ## will i be able to create minecraft addons from the app? yes. i mean thats literally what mcbCode is. the app will support all of the tools you'll need --- ## will the app have the same features as the website? yes. the initial release will have less than the website, but updates will come and more will be added. some features may launch later in the app than they do on the website. the goal is for the app and website to share the same core mcbCode experience while allowing each platform to have features that make sense for it. --- ## will the app automatically update? no. not unless it is on the google play store. ### which brings me to my next question: --- ## where can i get it? the app isn't available yet. BUT when it releases, downloads will be available from: * google play * maybe the website for early releases **only download the app from official mcbCode sources.** --- ## when will it release? there is currently no release date. the development is very early. development is still ongoing, so the release date may change. --- ## can i test it before release? maybe? subject to change --- ## what happens to the website while the app is being developed? nothing. the website will continue receiving updates and new features while the app is being developed. app development isn't replacing normal mcbCode development. --- ## will the app have features that the website doesn't? probably. some features may make more sense as part of a dedicated application, such as: * notifications * certain editors these features will be announced as they're developed. --- ## will my files be stored locally or online? like the website, they will be stored on mcbCode's servers --- ## does the app require an internet connection? yes. browsing projects, editing your own, changing settings. mostly everything on the website --- ## what about updates to minecraft? the app will be designed around minecraft bedrock and will be updated as the game changes. --- ## what if something doesn't work? bugs happen. software has apparently decided that being predictable is optional. --- ## can i suggest features? yes. but in the future. still in development. not every suggestion will make it into the app, but feedback helps determine what gets worked on. ---
