A simple launcher for Minecraft: Pi Edition.

This project is broken and very unstable. A lot of bugs are produced by the lack of a good internal design, and breaks the Launcher. SeeMCPIL-R for a version made from the ground up to be way for stable.

If you still want to run this for some reason, an old version of this Launcher like (v0.6.2 would be a good choice.

This means the project willnot be maintained anymore, so PRs or issues won't be fixed/accepted. tl;dr: DO NOT USE THIS!!! USE MCPIL-R!!!

To use MCPIL you must havePython >= 3.7.x installed on your device prior to using MCPIL.

Download and install MCPIL from the releases section:

wget https://github.com/MCPI-Revival/MCPIL-Legacy/releases/download/v0.7.3/mcpil_0.7.3-1.debsudo apt install ./mcpil_0.7.3-1.debsudo rm mcpil_0.7.3-1.deb

• Switch between Minecraft Pi and Minecraft Pocket Edition
• Username changing
• Skin changing
• Mod loading
• Mod API
• Mod compilation
• World settings (gamemode and name) changing
• Join non-local servers
• Coming soon: More stuff

Launch the MCPIL desktop file or run themcpil command folder as following to see the magic! 😉

mcpil# Yes, simple as this

The API documentation was moved to theModPi repo.

The support for the old API wasdropped in thev0.5.0 release! It is recommended to use the new ModPi API. However, the old API documentation is still avaiablehere.

To compile (compress) a Python mod, run themcpim command passing the filename of the mod as the first argument. For example:

mcpim ./example.py

This will produce anexample.mcpi mod file.

If you get themodule not found: _tkinter error, or something of the sort, you can use Homebrew to install a custom tap made by @gamer4life1.

# First, install brew (If you don't have it already, also make sure to install in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew)/bin/bash -c"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"# Then, apply the custom tapbrew tap gamer4life1/mcpi-tap# Install gcc (a needed dependency)brew install gcc# Follow caveats for gcc (something like example)export LDFLAGS="-L/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/isl@0.18/lib"export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/isl@0.18/include"# Install the custom formula of python (Ignore errors if they say that the system cannot find the bottle, it will compile from source)brew install custompython# Finally, add it to your PATH so it is first in your PATHexport PATH="/usr/local/opt/custompython/bin:$PATH"# Add above to bashrc to load automatically

To@Phirel for his Pi2PE (a.k.a. "survival") patch, and to@TheBrokenRail for MCPI-Docker. These two projects were/are highly used & abused by MCPIL 😉.
