mcpelauncher-manifest VS linux-packaging-scripts

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...

It seems like you can play 1.19 in the latest version

Use MCPE Launcher. It downloads the Android version of minecraft and replaces native android libraries with corresponding desktop linux libraries. You need to own it on the play store, though and it crashes pretty often. The AUR version if outdated, use the appimage instead https://github.com/ChristopherHX/linux-packaging-scripts/releases

For Java, I would say Prism Launcher (in Discover app store), for Bedrock, your best bet is the Android version with this Appimage (you'll need to own the Android version and sign in with your Google account, just make sure to select the x86_64 version).

Best you'll get is this: https://github.com/ChristopherHX/linux-packaging-scripts/releases

This is Minecraft: Bedrock Edition running on SteamOS using MCPELauncher, which works by running the android version of Minecraft on Linux. So in order to play, you must own Minecraft on the Google Play Store.

This is the one, it's no longer supported. It works up to the last 1.18. You have to own bedrock on the android playstore, as it uses that version.

This works freaking great, but like we both said, it's not the latest version so online functionality is non-existent.
