Installing Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi means you'll find Minecraft Pi in the Games section. Minecraft Pi is a bare-bones version of the popular survival game, designed to users learn different programming languages.



It's certainly fun, but not the Minecraft game we love. A group of Raspberry Pi users has figured out how you can install Minecraft fully-featured on your Raspberry Pi 2, or 3.



There's a lot to edit and tweaking with files and Terminal commands, just like everything on the Raspberry Pi. Be sure to take your time, and read through each step, and you'll be able to complete the task.



Remember that before you dive in, there's certain things you need to know:



You'll need your Mojang login details as well as your Minecraft username.



Naturally, you'll need an active license to use Minecraft. Minecraft.net has a place to purchase one. What about



This guide is only for Minecraft 1.8.9. However, with a simple modification, you can run the most current version, currently 1.9.4 (more on this below).



Playing Minecraft on a $35 computer isn't the most enjoyable experience, but it's definitely playable.



Plan to spend an hour getting everything up and running.



I suggest opening this guide using your browser on the Raspberry Pi and then the Terminal window right next to it. You'll need to download some altered log files from Dropbox. I don't want to share the commands here only to have them altered in the future.



It is very simple. You'll need copy various Terminal commands from your browser and then paste them into the command prompt. After you have pasted each command, press enter on the keyboard and your Pi will take care of the rest.



Tips to help make the process more smooth



Step 1 is not applicable to Raspberry Pi 3 users. You are not able to overclock the Pi 3 The Pi 3 is faster than the Pi 2 out of the box.



After you've completed Step 4, press the arrow keys to highlight Advanced options. Next highlight GL Options and select Enable.



Step 7 in the guide confused me. minecraft servers It states that you need to click "edit profile" However, you have to select Profile Editor and then double-click the first listing. Under Version Selection click on the drop-down next to Use version and choose a build number. Remember, the default is 1.8.9. This version is recommended for now. We will change it once everything is working.



Step 10 tells you to edit the "run.sh" file, without any additional instructions. Open the Minecraft folder within your Pi directory, right-click the run.sh file and choose Text Editor.



There are two ways to launch Minecraft. The guide will tell you to use "./run.sh" in Terminal to start Minecraft. Although this works, you must type "cd Minecraft", before entering the command. Another option is to open Minecraft folder and double-click on the run.sh file. Then, select "Execute."



Run the latest version Alright Once you have everything running, you can start tinkering with the installation. To upgrade to the most recent Minecraft version, you will need to relaunch Minecraft.jar.



In a terminal window, enter the following:"cd" Minecraft



Next, enter: java -jar Minecraft.jar



Click on Profile Editor to change the version number to 1.9.4 or the most recent version.



Save your changes and then click the Play button, forcing Minecraft to download the latest version.



Then step is to then, open the Minecraft folder.



To avoid any problems if you make a mistake, you should take two seconds and create a copy of the run.sh file. Change the name to something that is on the lines of "runcopy.sh". What about



With a copy safely tucked away, open the run.sh file by right-clicking on it and choosing Text Editor.



Press Ctrl-F on your keyboard, and type 1.8.9 in the text field. There should be two -only twoinstances discovered. Each one should be replaced with the latest Minecraft version (this should be the same version number you chose in step 3).



Save the file, then restart your Raspberry Pi.



Start Minecraft as normal and then enjoy.
