Introduction

  • PojavLauncher is a Minecraft: Java Edition launcher for Android and iOS based on Boardwalk.
  • This launcher can launch most of available Minecraft versions (up to latest 1.19.2, including Combat Test versions).
  • Modding via Forge and Fabric are also supported.
  • Older versions of Forge and Fabric can be used with OpenJDK 8.
  • This repository contains source code for iOS/iPadOS platform.
  • For Android platform, check out PojavLauncher repository.

Getting started with PojavLauncher

The PojavLauncher Website has extensive documentation on how to install, set up, and play! For those who wish to install quickly, here's the basics (on iOS 12 or later):

Note: This is experimental, although game works smoothly, you should not set Render distance too much.

Setup the sideload app

  • For iOS 14.0-15.5beta4, TrollStore is recommended to keep PojavLauncher permanently signed and have JIT enabled by itself.
  • Otherwise, install AltStore or SideStore.
  • Other sideloading methods using distribution certificate (without registering UDID) are unsupported as JIT (requires get-task-allow entitlement for debugger) is prohibited for distribution.

Installing PojavLauncher

  • Add PojavLauncher Repository from Trusted Sources
  • Tap FREE to begin installing.

Development build

  • Download an IPA build of PojavLauncher in the Actions tab.
  • Open the downloaded IPA in the sideload app to install.
