Introduction
- This is an attempt to get Minecraft Java run on jailbroken iOS. The minimum requirements are that the device must be running iOS 12 or higher.
Building
Requirements:
-- Mac OS X (tested: 10.15) and (tested: 11.7.0) - XCode (tested: 11.7.0) - JDK 8 installed Gradle to build Java part. Cmake, wget, fakeroot, dpkg, and ldid to install the package. This directory is where you should run.
How do they work?
- Use OpenJDK 16 from Procursus to get real Java environment. - Use MetalANGLE for OpenGL Metal translator -> ES. GL4ES is OpenGL Translator for OpenGL. OpenGL ES Translator. - Use our LWJGL3 iOS port. Use Yery.Net that we use for Android.
Current status
Java Runtime Environment: OpenJDK 16. LWJGL3 iOS port: works OpenGL GL4ES Did Minecraft recognize OpenGL OpenAL: use @kcat's Openal-soft Input pipe implementation Account authentication (partial). Does it work? Partial. Presently, Minecraft 1.14+ is fully functional. - Forge will not work however Fabric and OptiFine will.
Issues that are well-known
- Mojang authentication might not work, but copying logged in account json from Android will work. - Camera location will be shifted to random location on first time you touch. - Versions below 1.12.2 only render a small panorama at the lower left corner. Other versions may crash due to a variety of reasons: Narrator crash, etc... - It could crash at times however, try launching it again until you are sure it works.
