Introducion

Boat provides an environment to run Minecraft Java Edition on Android. It evolves from zhuowei's Boarwalk. Boat includes a series of Android ports of important software packages. This repository contains the Android app part of Boat. Other packages could be found in respective repositories. Please look at Components.

This app includes a very simple Minecraft launcher, only for test.

Building

It takes time to build whole project. So it is not suggested to build whole one youself. But you may want to build and update some components. Please follow the instructions in the repositories.

This app project uses old-fashioned Eclipse Ant building system. You should copy the source code into your Android Studio project (Maybe your own Minecraft launcher app :) ).

Building instruction:

1. Build OpenJDK 8 Android port (https://github.com/CosineMath/openjdk-jdk8u-aarch32-android).
2. Build this app project. Note that you should copy libboat.so and boat.h that other components depend on.
3. Build GL4ES (https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es) and OpenAL-soft (https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft) for Android. Instruction:
4. Build LWJGL 2 port for Boat (https://github.com/CosineMath/lwjgl-boat). Need libboat.so and boat.h.
5. Build GLFW port for Boat (https://github.com/CosineMath/glfw-boat). Need libboat.so and boat.h.
