mcpelauncher-manifest VS dragonfly

Look at this https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest

You can technically play MCPE on Linux via MCPE Launcher (unofficial)

https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest this one worked for me!

Today, an unknown device showed up in my install options. It's a "tablet" with a name "Diy DIY_D001". When I googled it nothing came up. Only thing I recently logged in with my G account was mcpelauncher (https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest). Does anyone know what could it be?

There is https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest, which can run the Android JARs on MacOS or Linux (by shimming/implementing the Android APIs it uses), but a few months back one of the updates dramatically changed the rendering system, and the lone(?) MacOs/Linux maintainer of mcpelauncher is still catching up. See https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest/iss...

Until that breakage, I ran it quite successfully on MacOS (although it _did_ have occasional crashes)

Bedrock through MCPE linux launcher has very minimal CPU/GPU requirements. It runs smoothly on a 9 year old laptop with integrated graphics. To add to that, their friends run minecraft on their switches and ipads. This was great before renderdragon, which is causing problems with linux launcher support, but during lockdown they could play minecraft with their friends. Java really doesn't run as well.

Wait, I can't even run it on amd64 right now! It's stalled at this point: https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest/com...

- What server software or framework to use. Ideally, if you dont need too much vanilla features (world generation, all mobs & items implemented, etc), I'd use something lightweight that is not based off of the vanilla server software. There are a few projects like this on github, including: https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom , https://github.com/feather-rs/feather , https://github.com/KryptonMC/Krypton , https://github.com/df-mc/dragonfly (bedrock). Which one you use will probably depend mostly on your preference. - You will need a way to store data separate from the servers. A database like postgres should work. There are a lot of different databases tho!

For the past months (on and off) I have been working on a project that I call Jukebox. It is an extension of the Minecraft server software known as Dragonfly (written in Go) that supports plugins/mods written in Go.

There is Minetest, which has at least one configuration that attempts to mimic vanilla Minecraft, but I'm not certain how accurate it is.

The stored data structures are well understood for both versions. See for example https://www.amuletmc.com/ (Editor, Python) or https://github.com/df-mc/dragonfly/tree/master/server/world/... (Code, Go)

You can try it. You'll need Termux (a linux terminal emulator running inside android). Then you have to install go (pkg install golang) and git (pkg install git) and dragonfly (https://github.com/df-mc/dragonfly) (a faster third party server software) and it should work, although this is a theoretical solution. Termux continues running in the background and you might even be able to put the phone to sleep whilst keeping the server running.
