BedrockStation (Pro) vs Controlloid
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
BedrockStation (Pro)
BedrockStation Pro allows you to connect with third party servers from some console's Minecraft Bedrock. It allows you to use an VPN to connect to the server as long as the VPN does not take control of the local network. This application can work also with servers and applications that implement the Minecraft Bedrock protocol and even other UDP protocols. It will proxy your UDP connections and expose them in the local network without getting in your way about how you want to use it. This is a paid free software app, but it is provided for free to Fdroid users by its author to thank free software supporters. A demo version that is also free software but free to use also exists, you can promote it to your friends that only use the evil store I won't name here if they do not want to pay for the app. Both versions are made from the same source code.
Controlloid
Controlloid is a small open source application that turns your phone into a real game controller for your PC. It works on Linux and Windows and can connect through anything that allows the creation of a LAN network: WiFi, Bluetooth, USB etc. It works over internet too, but for optimal performance it is recommended to create a hotspot on your PC and disable other network connections (such as wired) which allows the connected devices to access the internet. The server application can be downloaded from the following link: ➤ https://github.com/experiment322/controlloid-server Features • All the buttons of a PS2 controller (except L3 and R3) • Supports multiple clients (limited to 16 on Windows) • Analog stick dead zone (set from Preferences) • Scan and connect instantly to LAN servers • Move, resize and overlap buttons in layout editor • Creation of multiple layouts to accommodate different games • More to come! (suggestions welcome on GitHub)
