Introduction
This is a try to make Minecraft Java work 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) – XCode (tested at 11.7.0) – JDK 8 installed Gradle for Java part. cmake, fakeroot, wget and ldid to package. Run in this directory
What is the process?
OpenJDK 16 from PROcursus is required for the creation of a real Java environment. MetalANGLE is the OpenGL Metal translator -> ES. GL4ES is OpenGL Translator for OpenGL. OpenGL ES Translator. - Use our LWJGL3 iOS port. - Use the same launch method as the PojavLauncher app for 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 to authenticate your account. Does it work? Partial. Currently, Minecraft 1.14+ is fully functional. - Forge isn't working, but Fabric and OptiFine will.
Problems that are known
- Mojang authentication might not work, but copying the json file of your logged in account from Android will work. Camera position will be jumped at random points upon the first tap. - 1.12.2 and below only render a tiny panoramic at the bottom left corner. - Other versions will fail due to various reasons, including Narrator crash etc... It could crash at times but try it again until you can confirm that it works.
Installing OpenJDK 16
For Chimera/Odyssey bootstrap
- Add Procursus repository (https://apt.procurs.us). Install Java-16-openjdk.
