Other quality-of-life improvements

Required Packages

Ubuntu / Debian

Install the necessary dependencies with:

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 libzip-dev:i386

Arch Linux

Install the necessary dependencies with:

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
cd build
cmake ..
make

Running

Clone this repository
Compile the launcher
Obtain a x86 MCPE 1.1 apk file
After you have downloaded MCPE, place it in the directory where you'll be running this app, and run ./extract.sh filename
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

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