See https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest for a version which runs 1.17+ x86, x86_64, armv7 and arm64 instead of only 0.12 - 1.16.10 x86, armv7
The libhybris library broke with Minecraft 1.16.20 and caused crashs, but the rewritten launcher of minecraft-linux didn't had such problems.
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)
- 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
- reduced gpu performance ANGLE - Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine workaround to replace the crashing patch from minecraft-linux
- 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
- Sometime fails silently without an errormessage (might be in the log)
- 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
- defaults to pocket UI
- 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
- Now have to explicitly to be enabled with
