Install the full Minecraft game on the Pi 3

-

Open Terminal on your Raspberry Pi and begin by installing some tools: sudo apt-get -y install xcompmgr libgl1-mesadri && sudo apt-get -y install libalut0 libalut-dev && sudo apt-get -y install mesa-utils

Next, we’ll need to enable an experiment­al graphics driver. Run sudo raspi-config and scroll down to Advanced Options. Press Return. Then choose the AB – GL Driver option and enable it.

Now download the official Minecraft client with the following: mkdir ~/Minecraft; mkdir ~/Minecraft/Natives; cd ~/Minecraft && wget https://s3.amazonaws. com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.jar Launch it by running: $ java -jar Minecraft.jar

Now you need to log in with your username and password. Next, click the Profile Editor tab, then click the box that’s underneath Version to open up a new window. Find the drop-down menu named Use Version and choose 1.8.9. Next click Save Profile.

Click the Play button at the bottom to begin downloadin­g the files. When the downloads are finished, you need to close the launcher and re-open Terminal.

Run the following commands: $ cd ~/Minecraft/Natives && wget https://www. dropbox.com/s/4oxcvz3ky7­a3x6f/liblwjgl.so $ wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/ m0r8e01jg2­og36z/libopenal.so $ cd /home/pi/.minecraft/libraries/org/lwjgl/ lwjgl/lwjgl/2.9.4-nightly-20150209 && rm lwjgl2.9.4-nightly-20150209.jar $ wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/ mj15sz3bub­4dmr6/lwjgl-2.9.4-nightly-20150209. jar $ cd ~/Minecraft/ $ wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/ jkhr58apwa­7pt1w/run.sh $ sudo chmod +x run.sh Next, we need to make some changes to one of the files we’ve downloaded with the following:

$ sudo nano ~/Minecraft/run.sh

Scroll down with the arrows, and after the = enter your Minecraft personal details: email, username and password. Press Ctrl+X when you’re done, then press Y and Enter to confirm the changes.

To run Minecraft at any time, just enter the following command: cd ~/Minecraft && ./run.sh

 ??  ?? Choose version 1.8.9 in the Use Version drop-down menu. It isn’t the most recent, but will work best with the Raspberry Pi.
