MCPE Linux Launcher
===================

A fork of [mcpelauncher-linux](https://github.com/MCMrARM/mcpelauncher-linux) (commit from 2017, MCPE 1.1) with additional features and improvements

## Features
- Dedicated server support
- Compatibility fixes for building with the latest GCC
- Other quality-of-life improvements

## Required Packages

### Ubuntu / Debian
Install the necessary dependencies with:

```bash
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake zlib1g-dev:i386 libncurses5-dev:i386 \
libgles2-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev:i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib \
libx11-dev:i386 linux-libc-dev:i386 uuid-dev:i386 libpng-dev:i386 \
libxext6:i386
```

### Arch Linux
Install the necessary dependencies with:

```bash
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel cmake zlib libpng libx11 libxext libglvnd \
libxrandr libxi mesa lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glibc lib32-mesa lib32-libx11 \
lib32-libxext lib32-libxrandr lib32-libxi
```

Make sure the multilib repo is enabled in `/etc/pacman.conf`.

## Compiling
This app uses cmake so it is enough to do:

```
mkdir build
cmake ..
make
```

## Running
1. Clone this repository
2. Compile the launcher
3. Obtain a x86 MCPE 1.1 apk file
4. After you have downloaded MCPE, place it in the directory where you'll be running this app, and run ./extract.sh _filename_
5. Run the launcher!

If the extract script fails with an error about the .apk not being x86, it means that you have provided it a bad .apk.

## Using the Dedicated Server
1. Create a server.properties file and fill in your settings. An example is located in the root of this repository.
2. Run the server binary that you built earlier
