So, you’ll need to follow the steps in the MultiMC “NotSecrets” library here. Various releases of MultiMC and Minecraft have their auth tokens embedded - which helps you none if you’re building it yourself on ARM. The first, and probably most annoying step, is getting a Microsoft Auth Token. Getting a Microsoft Auth Token Stringy Thingy Times change, Microsoft forces your hand, and so I find myself having to dig through a variety of things to make the process work again. But it’s a few years old, and it doesn’t cover how to use a Microsoft account. However, back in 2020, Nicholas Bering created an incredibly useful set of directions over at - and, at the time, they worked for what was current. There are some native libraries related to rendering and such that have to be properly handled on ARM - so, remember, Java runs everywhere, except when it doesn’t. Of course, all of these predate the Mandatory Microsoft Minecraft Migration that’s currently under way, so all the directions I’ve found only work with Mojang accounts - not the new, invasive Microsoft account that you either have now, or will soon have.īut it’s not just Java. So, it sometimes works, and frequently doesn’t (or is horribly out of date). How hard can it be to run on ARM? It’s been done at various points in time, usually by people who toss out a modded binary or some blobs to download, and then disappear back into the depths never to be heard from again. It’s Java, if you ignore all the mobile and Windows Store and console and other “me too” versions. But, the ODroid N2+ and PBP will play fully up to date Minecraft, and, surprisingly, the PineBook Pro is quite good at Minecraft for this class of machine! It’ll even hold a playable frame rate in fullscreen! ![]() The Raspberry Pi 4 lacks the OpenGL version to play anthing past 1.16.5. ![]() As all those thing are in short supply lately, I’ve decided to clear things up a bit! Nobody is talking about how to play Minecraft on a Raspberry Pi anymore - or any of the other little small board computers! And nobody is talking about how to optimize it if you’re a little bit short on CPU and a lot short on GPU. If you play Minecraft (as I do on occasion), and you run little gutless wonder ARM boxes like the Raspberry Pi and ODroid N2+ (as I do consistently), you may have noticed an interesting gap in the connection between the two. Today is the first in a series of posts about some weird little rabbit holes, and I’m starting out with this: Playing Minecraft, on AArch64 Linux, on an Raspberry Pi 4, an ODroid N2+, and a PineBook Pro! It’s been an exceedingly nice Lent off from the internet - although I’ve not really been taking it off from “computers.” I’ve been doing a bunch of the sort of weird things that I don’t normally get around to, and it’s been rather productive - if, perhaps, a tiny bit pointless.
