    @Admins Please move to a correct subforum if in a wrong one

    I am basically copying my twitter posts here.
    I always wanted something, so i can click a link or button in a serverlist, and it opens Minecraft (Windows 10 Edition) and i join the server.

    Due to Minecraft's limitation in arguments on startup, you can't open a connection to a server directly (though you can open a world using .mcworld files).

    So, i sat down and learned C# yesterday.
    This is what i came up with:
    upload_2017-7-12_10-2-13.png

    It manages the server list without having MC opened.

    When clicking on a weblink
    Code:
    mcpeserver://ip:port:name
    or
    Code:
    mcpe-server-manager://ip:port:name
    , it'll add it to the list (without saying anything) and opens Minecraft. That way you only have to click on the "Friends" tab in the game, scroll to the server you added, click and tada, you are in.

    The thing is: it would only be fully useful if a serverlist would use/advertise it.
    I could also create a chrome addon, which automatically creates a button/link for the program on the website.

    I'd love to hear some shares and thoughts about it.

    Sincerely, Dan.

    Don't abuse fonts, please, ok? The default fonts were set as they are for a reason.

    I am pretty sure the bold somehow set when changing size of the text. Also, if, its font-style, not the font itself. How is it abusing, if the options to use different text styles are given? If not wanted, remove this: upload_2017-7-12_15-49-27.png and allow systext only

    We're more likely to get
    Code:
    minecraft://open-server
    
    Since the minecraft url scheme already exists

    Please read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MCPE/comments/51e5rq/does_the_minecraftprotocol_work/
    (to shorten it for you, here's @jocopa3's reply:
    Its an shell app referrer to open it. Also, i use it in the code to open MC10.

    Please stop going off-toppic. (this thread was _moved_ to off-toppic, because no other proper toppics like "tools" exist. This is just ABOUT the program though, which you can easily figure out by properly reading my first post in this thread)

    Confusion between Minecraft PC edition Java edition Oracle edition and Pocket edition Microsoft edition?
    The default text size supposedly makes it most comfortable for users to read. Text sizes are modifiers for individual emphasis, I would deduce.
    In simple words, your styling looks terrible on my phone that I couldn't resist complaining.

    Nope, MCJava actually has none of these protocol callers.

    As you may see, for you i also changed the style to seem to be like the default. My phone browser supports something called "reading mode", you might like to use this.

    Another thing to add: they are both Microsoft versions, as you might remember, Mojang was bought.

    Yes, but it still has the potential of clashing. Clearer is still better.
    Alright, I was complaining on behalf of myself that it looks bad. Happy?

    You don't earn any points for spamming threads in the "Off-Toppic" section.

    I request Lock or deletion of thread. Some persons don't understand what the difference between |forums/issue trackers| and |chats| are.
