Introduction
- This is a way to make Minecraft Java run on jailbroken iOS. The minimum requirements for this are: Device must run iOS 12 or higher.
Building
Requirements:
- Mac OS X (tested at 10.15) (tested at 10.15) - XCode (tested at 11.7.0) -- JDK 8 installed gradle for Java part. Cmake, wget, ldid, dpkg and dj w360 to package. Run in this directory
What is the process?
- Use OpenJDK 16 from Procursus to get real Java environment. MetalANGLE is the OpenGL Metal translator -> ES. GL4ES is OpenGL -> OpenGL ES Translator. - Use our LWJGL3 iOS port. - Use same launch method as PojavLauncher Android.
Current status
Java Runtime Environment: OpenJDK 16. LWJGL3 iOS port: works OpenGL : GL4ES Did Minecraft recognize OpenGL OpenAL: Use @kcat's openalsoft Input pipe implementation for account authentication. Does it work? Partial. Presently, Minecraft 1.14+ is fully functional. - Forge isn't working, but Fabric and OptiFine will.
Issues that are well-known
Mojang authentication may not work. However you can copy the logged in account JSON from Android. Camera position will be jumped to randomly upon the first you touch. Versions lower than 1.12.2 only render a small panoramic at the bottom left corner. Other versions could crash due to different reasons: Narrator crash etc... - It could crash from time to time but you can restart it again until it is working.
OpenJDK 16 Installation
For Chimera/Odyssey bootstrap
- Add Procursus repository (https://apt.procurs.us). - Install java-16-openjdk.
Other jailbreak bootstraps
- Download openjdk-16-jre.deb. Install and open Filza File manager. Go to the location where the .deb file downloaded. Then, open it and click Install. It will close with Setting up .... If everything is in order.
Directory locations
- Account json directory: /var/mobile/Documents/.pojavlauncher/accounts. - Minecraft home directory: /var/mobile/Documents/minecraft. - Select a version: edit /var/mobile/Documents/minecraft/config_ver.txt, put to Minecraft version want to start.
