# Legacy Cross Play
## Any questions, need help? [Join the server!](https://discord.gg/cb9rs9yfDm)
## CURRENTLY, THE ORIGINAL LEGACY CLIENT IS BROKEN, USE [THIS ONE](https://github.com/DeveloperExotic/LegacyCrossPlay/releases)
**This project allows Legacy Console Edition clients to join a vanilla 1.8 Java Edition server!**
# How to Install
**Code modifications, or server plugins ARE NOT required!**
- Install [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/download), you may need to restart your computer after
- Start a localhost Java Edition server running on port 25564, and in offline mode (you can edit these in `server.properties`)
- Run the file `install_dependencies.bat`, - you only need to run this file one time.
- Run `start.bat`, the Java Edition server will appear in the join tab on Legacy Console Edition! You can configure the server IP / PORT in `constants.js`.
# Known issues, will be fixed
- Chunk lighting is always lit
- You're unable to craft in survival mode
- You're unable to accept villager trades
