1 Make sure you have the latest Raspbian :
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
$ sudo rpi-update
2 In Menu\Preferences\Raspberry Pi Configuration :
Set GPU memory to 64Mb
Reboot
3 Install the experimental OpenGL Driver, sound & glxgears demo
$ sudo apt-get -y install xcompmgr libgl1-mesa-dri && sudo apt-get -y install libalut0 libalut-dev && sudo apt-get -y install mesa-utils
4 Enable ‘GL Driver’
$ sudo raspi-config
This will start the config utility. Select ‘Advanced Options’, then select ‘GL Driver’, then select ‘Enable’, then select ‘Yes’ to reboot and enable the driver.
5 Test driver using glxgears
$ glxgears
This should run at about 60 fps.
6 Download Minecraft
$ mkdir ~/Minecraft; mkdir ~/Minecraft/Natives; cd ~/Minecraft && wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.jar
7a Install launcher :
$ java -jar Minecraft.jar
Login with Minecraft email and password
If you’ve got the latest Minecraft.jar click ‘edit profile’ and select use release – ‘release 1.8.9’, then ‘save profile’
Click Play to install game
You will then receive an ‘Unsatisfied link error’
Close launcher
7b Copy libraries
$ cd ~/Minecraft/Natives && wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/4oxcvz3ky7a3x6f/liblwjgl.so && wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0r8e01jg2og36z/libopenal.so
8 Update lwjgl
$ cd /home/pi/.minecraft/libraries/org/lwjgl/lwjgl/lwjgl/2.9.4-nightly-20150209 && rm lwjgl-2.9.4-nightly-20150209.jar; wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/mj15sz3bub4dmr6/lwjgl-2.9.4-nightly-20150209.jar
( based on Roger Allen’s tutorial : http://rogerallen.github.io/jetson/2014 … etson-tk1/ )
9 Copy run script
$ cd ~/Minecraft/ && wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/jkhr58apwa7pt1w/run.sh && sudo chmod +x run.sh
10 Edit run.sh, update MINECRAFT_LOGIN, MINECRAFT_USERNAME and MINECRAFT_PASSWORD (may need “” for special characters) to your own
$ nano run.sh
11 From Terminal use ./run.sh
$ ./run.sh
stuck at Starting launcher
are you using the correct version?
help me pls ./run.sh: 43: ./run.sh: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm32-vfp-hflt/jre/bin/java: not found
not working 🙁
Do you think you could run a minecraft server version this way too? I think it might be a fun way to use a pi3.
yup can run a small home minecraft server with this.
This was pretty cool while it lasted. Thanks for the info to get it up and running. The kids moved on to other games. How do we go about uninstalling it to free up some space?
Thanks, Aaron
To uninstall goto /home/pi/Minecraft and delete the stuff, I tried installing OptiFine too and it installed into /home/pi/.minecraft, I don’t know if that was there but if it is delete it too. Should free up the space Minecraft took up!
2 years later: People play Minecraft again, bringing the usefulness back to this article.
cant say exit how do i say exit ???
control+shift+^+X
This was a great tutorial to get 1.8.9 working perfectly. Issue is just the move to 1.11.2. I cant get past the “loading world”. The same thing happens when I join a server. It keeps saying “logging in”. Other people can see me login but I’m permanetly stuck at the loading screen. Any idea why that is or how to solve it.
Running on Pi2B followed the tutorial above to the letter.
by me it’s says failed to login try restarting your game at 1.11.2 can someone help me ?!!?
i am stuck at launch. it says unsatisfied link.
please help.
It stopped working when it tried to do ./run.sh
Please help me!
Same!
I rebooted the Pi and I tried running it, it said ./run.sh wasn’t able to be ran. So it all went away.
After many attepts and having to reinstal Raspian stretch I have been able to sort of getting Minecraft 1.8.9 working, but is very notchi and very slow is this normal. My glxgears is running very well at 60fps. Can you suggest what could be going on?
It wont let me run the game. How long till it loads?
I have a problem run.sh says:
Crash!
OpenGL: ~~ERROR~~ RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread.
I’ve followed these steps but I’m getting
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release
Error: Could not find or load main class net.minecraft.client.main.Main
Did I miss anything?
same here!
if I run minecraft in the launcher, Minecraft give me an Error
It runs fine at around 15fps on a 300 player server but is there a way we can install OptiFine? Thanks in advance!
how do you get a free acount
you can’t you have to buy minecraft
HELP WHEN I PAST THE FIRST THING IT DOES NOTHING!
how can i do other versions?
use the launcher options by editing or creating a new profile
If i want to join a server it says pleas restart your game and when i restart it says the same thing again pls help
Does this work with 1.13.2 and if so, how do you make it work?
./run.sh gives out:

What did I miss? Really hope you get this. Super cool tutorial.
Hello. This isn’t a question but for all of you asking these questions now please read this.
1. Raspberry Pi 4 requires slight modifications (but works)
2. You may have to change /usr/****** (something with java 8 in it) then a \ to /usr/bin/java \ in your run.sh line
3. Try removing the CMS line from the run.sh (below the /usr/** thing)
4. It seems servers don’t work anymore, for some reason
when I try to download the launcher it says
bash: java: command not found
does anyone know how to fix this?
download a java you dont have a java downloaded
sudo apt install openjdk
hey mine wont let me sign in to my minecraft account
it says
“OpenJDK Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
Unrecognized VM option ‘CMSIncrementalMode’
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.”
How do you save the run.sh
the file then save in the document
Did u get the run.sh working?
At the end when we say ./run.sh it says Error: Could not find or load main class net.minecraft.client.main.Main
I need help, its sais: ./run.sh: 43: ./run.sh: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm32-vfp-hflt/jre/bin/java: not found
The Super Nintendo era was such a great time to grow up in the former United States of America. The early 90’s was a great time to be a kid!It really surprises me how 16-bit game design has not caught on like the over used retro 8-bit has. I was hoping games would start to graduate to the 16-bit era of nostalgia but it has not. Hopefully soon!
I remember waiting for Super Castlevania 4 to come out on the SNES. It had amazing graphics for the time but after being used to the difficulty of the NES versions, it was way too easy. I beat that game only a few days after getting it, which was a little disappointing. The game was still fun but it wasn’t what I was expecting. Especially considering that all the previous versions were much more difficult.
These are actually wonderful ideas in regarding blogging. You have touched some fastidious factors here. Any way keep up wrinting.
I played almost all of these games. except the ones with low graphic art like f-zero, mario kart, castlevania, metroid etc. contra had low graphic but very enjoyable with co-op. earthbound, ff should be top5. idk how many times i’ve replayed crono trigger and earthworm jim. others mostly 75%.
Someone necessarily assist to make critically articles I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this particular put up incredible. Great process
That’s a good list, though some of the choices puzzle me. I found DKC 2 and DKC 3 were both more fun to play than the original. I did expect FFVI to be in the top 5, that seems kind of weird. My personal favorite game of all time is Chrono Trigger, so I would have loved to see that at number 1. But with most people I’ve talked to that played a lot of snes games, they tend to rank Zelda and Chrono Trigger 1 and 2, so I’m surprised that it is so far down on this list.
