Introduction

PojavLauncher is a Minecraft: Java Edition launcher for Android based on Boardwalk. This launcher can launch almost all available Minecraft versions (from rd-132211 to latest 1.17 snapshot, including Combat Test versions). Modding via Forge and Fabric are also supported.

Building

To get started, you can just get prebuilt app from stable release or automatic builds. If you want to build after launcher code changes, follow steps below.

Will be moved to BUILDING.md

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

• JRE for Android is here, also the build script here.
• Follow build instruction on build script README.md.
• You can also get CI auto builds.
• Spliting JRE and put to the launcher: coming soon.

LWJGL and GLFW

• Coming soon

The Launcher

• Because languages are auto added by Crowdin, so need to run language list generator before building. In this directory, run:

# On Linux, Mac OS:
chmod +x scripts/languagelist_updater.sh
bash scripts/languagelist_updater.sh

# On Windows:
scripts\languagelist_updater.bat

• Then, build use Android Studio.

Current status

• OpenJDK 9 Mobile port: ARM32, ARM64, x86, x86_64. Replaced by JRE8.
• OpenJDK 8 Mobile port: ARM64, x86, x86_64
• Mod installer headless
• Mod installer with GUI. Little run on Caciocavallo project.
