How do I start Minecraft Bedrock from Windows Forms App?

Question

I started working on my own Minecraft Launcher that has the aspect I want, and because I want just to make my UI, it looked easier to make it Bedrock only, but there is a problem, even if it can find if Minecraft is installed or not, I can't open it, it says that a lot of dll files are missing, if I started normally it makes that files, I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022.

Can someone help me?

Hello there,

To start Minecraft Bedrock from a Windows Forms App, you can use the Process class in C# to launch the Minecraft Bedrock executable. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

Open Visual Studio or your preferred C# development environment.

Create a new Windows Forms App project.

In the Windows Forms designer, add a button to your form. You can name it "Start Minecraft" or something similar.

Double-click the button to create a click event handler.

In the event handler code, add the following code to start Minecraft Bedrock:

private void btnStartMinecraft_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string minecraftPath = @"C:\Path\to\MinecraftBedrock.exe"; // Replace with the actual path to Minecraft Bedrock executable

Process.Start(minecraftPath);

}

Replace "C:\Path\to\MinecraftBedrock.exe" with the actual file path to the Minecraft Bedrock executable on your computer.
