For most mods, expect to rebuild 80–100% of the work from scratch. Start with simple add‑on tutorials, then gradually re‑implement the Java mod’s features one by one.
Cons:
I can give you a more tailored guide for that specific type of conversion.
Another promising approach is the use of AI-powered tools like (also known as ModPorter-AI). convert jar to mcaddon work
Java Example: A sword that sets fire to enemies. Bedrock Version: Create my_sword.item.json and add:

Ensure the manifest links the Behavior Pack to the Resource Pack so they load together. Step 4: Recreate the Mechanics (JSON and JavaScript)
