Get The Full Version Of Minecraft Running On A Raspberry Pi
Installing Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi means you'll find Minecraft Pi in the Games section. Minecraft Pi is a bare-bones version of the popular survival game designed to help students learn various programming languages.
It's certainly enjoyable but it's not the Minecraft game we love to. A group of Raspberry Pi users has figured out how to install Minecraft full-featured on your Raspberry Pi 2, or 3.
There's plenty to edit and tweaking with files and Terminal commands, as with everything else on the Raspberry Pi. Be sure to take your time, and read through each step and you'll be able to complete the task.
Be aware that before you dive in there are a few things you should know:
You will require your Mojang account login information, as well as your Minecraft username.
Naturally, you'll need an active license to use Minecraft. You can purchase one at Minecraft.net
This guide is for Minecraft 1.8.9. You can still use the latest version of Minecraft 1.8.9.
The game Minecraft on a $35 computer isn't going to be the most enjoyable experience, but it's certainly playable.
Spend an hour setting up everything.
I suggest opening this guide on your browser on the Raspberry Pi and then a Terminal window next to it. You'll have to download modified log files from Dropbox. I don't want to post the commands here only to see them modified in the future.
The process is simple it requires you to copy Terminal commands from the browser, pasting them into the command line. After you've entered each command, press the Enter key on the keyboard. Your Pi will handle the rest.
Tips to make the process smoother
Raspberry Pi 3 users are exempt from the first step. You cannot currently overclock the Pi 3 The Pi 3 is faster than the Pi 2 out of the box.
After entering Step 4's command Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight Advanced options, then press Enter. Then, highlight GL Options and select Enable.
I got a bit confused in Step 7 of the guideline in which it states to click on "edit profile," You actually need to click on Profile Editor, then double-click on the first (and only) listing. Click on Version Selection next to Use version to select the number for the build. Keep in mind, the guide defaults to 1.8.9. This version is currently recommended. We will change it when everything is in place.
Step 10 instructs you to modify "run.sh" without further instructions. Open the Minecraft folder in your Pi directory, right-click on the run.sh file and select Text Editor.
To start Minecraft there are two different options. The guide will tell you to use "./run.sh" in Terminal to start Minecraft. However, prior to entering the command you'll have to type "cd Minecraft" into a Terminal window. HANMA'S BLOG is to open the Minecraft folder and double-click the run.sh file. Then, select "Execute."
Start the latest version. Then you are able playing around with the installation. To upgrade to the most recent Minecraft version, you will need to relaunch Minecraft.jar.
Enter CD Minecraft in a Terminal window
Next, enter: java -jar Minecraft.jar
Click on Profile Editor then change the version to 1.9.4 (or whatever the most recent version is).
Save your changes, then click the Play button to force Minecraft to download the latest version.
Then step is to start the Minecraft folder.
In order to eliminate any issues if you make a mistake, you should take two seconds to make a duplicate of the run.sh file. Rename it to something alone the lines of "runcopy.sh".
With a copy safely tucked away open the run.sh file by right-clicking it and choosing Text Editor.
Enter 1.8.9 into the text field by pressing Ctrl+F on your keyboard. There should be twoonly two- instances found. Each one should be replaced with the current Minecraft version (this should be the same version number that you selected in step 3.
Save the file, then reboot your Raspberry Pi.
Launch Minecraft the way you normally would and enjoy.
