This repository contains the original source code for Minecraft: Pocket Edition v0.6.1, supporting both Android and iOS platforms. Right now you have to compile this yourself, but there's also an Action thanks to pengubow for making an ipa file.

This branch has merged with full-screen-support! Now the Github Action will make an unsigned IPA for you to download! ❤️ full-screen-support will still be maintained seperately and merged again when stable. There are no plans to distribute another unigned "nightly" build for that branch. Sorry.

To build and run the game, you have to use the arm64-build branch. This branch has been modernized to comply with the new C++ standards as they have changed since 2011. Also includes fixes for modern A-series chips to actually get the game running.

• Architecture: Migrated from armv7 to arm64.
• Legacy Patching: Fixed header file extensions (e.g., .height back to .h) and resolved ambiguous function redefinitions.

Follow these steps to get the game running on your own physical iOS device using Xcode. You will need a Mac. If you don't have a Mac, you could try using a macOS virtual machine. I'd reccomend using Ventura or newer.

Open your terminal and clone the repository, ensuring you switch to the arm64-build branch:

git clone https://github.com/deepfriedwaffles/minecraft-pe-source-code.git
cd minecraft-pe-source-code
git checkout arm64-build

Locate the project file in handheld/project/iosproj/minecraftpe.xcodeproj and open it.

Before you can deploy to an iPhone, you must sign the app with your own Apple Developer account:

1. Select the minecraftpe project in the left sidebar.
2. Go to Signing & Capabilities.
3. Change the Bundle Identifier to something unique (e.g., com.yourname.mcpe).
4. Select your Team from the dropdown menu.

1. Connect your iPhone via USB or LAN.
2. Select your device from the run destination menu at the top of Xcode.
3. Press Cmd + R (or the Play button).
4. Note: If you encounter a "Developer Mode" or "Untrusted Developer" error on your phone, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to trust your certificate.

This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the iOS app and generates an .ipa file. Head to the Actions tab to download that ipa file.

• Display: The game renders at a fixed 480x320 resolution and does not yet support the big iPhone displays.
• UI: The Options menu is regaining functionality (thanks EBro912) but is probably still not done yet.
• Multiplayer: Local/Online multiplayer is currently untested on arm64 and may require further RakNet patching.
