Raspbian is installed on your Raspberry Pi. This will allow you to access Minecraft Pi in the Games section. Minecraft Pi is a bare-bones version of the well-known survival game that was designed to teach users various programming languages. Sure, it's enjoyable, but it's not the Minecraft game we've come know and enjoy. A group of Raspberry Pi users has figured out how you can install Minecraft full-featured on your Raspberry Pi 2, or 3. There's a lot to edit and tweak with files and Terminal commands, as with everything on the Raspberry Pi. You should be patient and go through each step. Keep in mind Before you begin, there are some things you should know: You'll need your Mojang account login information and your Minecraft username. You'll need an active Minecraft license. You can purchase one at Minecraft.net This guide is only applicable to Minecraft 1.8.9. You are able to continue using the current version of Minecraft 1.8.9. Although Minecraft isn't the most enjoyable experience on a $35 computer however, it is certainly possible to play it. Plan to spend an hour getting everything up and running. I recommend opening this guide using your browser on the Raspberry Pi with a Terminal window next to it. You'll need to download some altered log files from Dropbox. I don't want to post the commands here only to have them altered later. Best minecraft servers It is very simple. You will need to copy various Terminal commands from your browser and paste them into the command prompt. After you've pasted each command, press enter on the keyboard and your Pi will take care of the rest. Tips to make the process as smooth as you can Here are some suggestions I came up with to make the process go as smoothly as it can: Step 1 doesn't apply to Raspberry Pi 3 users. At present, you are not able to overclock the Pi 3. The Pi 3 is faster than the Pi 2 out of the box. After you have entered Step 4, press the Arrow keys to highlight Advanced options. Next highlight GL Options and select Enable. I was a bit confused by the 7th step of the guideline in which it states to click on "edit profile," You actually need to click on Profile Editor and then double-click the first (and only) listing. Click on Version Selection next to Use version to select a number of the build. The default guide is 1.8.9. At the moment, you can use the version you have and we can switch it once everything is working. Step 10 instructs you to edit "run.sh" without further instructions. Open the Minecraft folder within your Pi directory, right-click on the run.sh file and choose Text Editor. There are two ways to launch Minecraft. To start Minecraft it is recommended to follow the instructions. advise you to use "./run.sh". Although this works, you will need to type "cd Minecraft", before entering the command. Another option is to open the Minecraft folder and double-click the run.sh file. After that, you can select "Execute." Start with the most recent version. Now you can begin playing around with the installation. In order to jump to the most recent version of Minecraft you'll have to restart the Minecraft.jar file. In a Terminal window, enter the following: Cd Minecraft Next, enter: java -jar Minecraft.jar Click on Profile Editor and then change the version to 1.9.4 (or whatever the latest version is). Save your changes, and then click the Play button to force Minecraft to download the most recent version. Then step is to then, open the Minecraft folder. To avoid any problems if you make a mistake, create an archive of the run.sh file. Rename it to something alone the lines of "runcopy.sh". With a copy safely stored away, open the run.sh file by right-clicking it and choosing Text Editor. Minecraft Games Enter 1.8.9 into the text field by pressing Ctrl+F on your keyboard. There should be at most two instances. Replace each of them with the latest version of Minecraft (this must be the same version number you selected in step 3). Save the file and reboot your Raspberry Pi. Launch Minecraft like you normally would, and then play.
