mcpelauncher-manifest

An unstable and dirty fork of the Linux and Mac OS Minecraft Bedrock Edition launcher client that supports 1.11+ (incl. most beta builds, 1.0-1.10 cannot be resized after start)

Features

  • Random unknown crashes
    • provide crashlog, compilerversion and mention the specfic download artifact (Filename, download link)
  • Linux x86, amd64 and arm support
  • Limited macOS Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave support
    • reduced gpu performance ANGLE - Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine workaround to replace the crashing patch from minecraft-linux
      • render delay while joining the world or server with a lot of objects
      • mobs aren't rendered correctly (known as white mobs (sheeps, spiders...))
        • workaround set initial window size to display resolution
  • Support for new Minecraft Releases (1.13+) out of Box
    • The discontinued mcpelauncher-server only supports 1.12.0.28 and 1.12.1.1
    • Might break sometime in the future
  • unstable Xbox live login
    • Sometime fails silently without an errormessage (might be in the log)
      • to try it again close Minecraft and open it again
      • may caused by network problems (e.g. unstable internet access)
      • You need to have a gamertag on your account
    • Friend joining
      • Sometimes only successful during world loading or won't succeed
  • less game patches needed than the original launcher
    • defaults to pocket UI
      • e.g. change it in Settings->General->Video->UI Profile from Pocket to Classic
    • defaults to 60 fps vsync
      • vsync is ignored under macOS
      • can be disabled in options.txt
    • defaults to larger buttons
      • e.g. change it in Settings->General->Video->GUI Scale Modifier to -1
    • Scripting support isn't enabled, android defaults to no scripting support
      • might added back in the future
    • Initializes the game mostly like android does it
      • results in less function patches
      • implemented "java" functions in c++ rather than patching jni function calls
  • Experimental (Chinese, Japanese) IME Support with eglut (not GLFW)
    • Now have to explicitly to be enabled with
      • MCPELAUNCHER_FEATURE_IME=1
      • to many distros have issues, with x11 ime or xim
    • type Chinese / Japanese with IME while a Textbox is open
      • You need to manually click the Textbox to allow IME to open
      • Only ibus IME is known to work
        • ibus-pinyin
        • ibus-anthy
