-><- ->Version: alpha 0.03<-

So here it is! The first release for minecraft classic on android!

It took some time, but now I'm here to give you the first playable version. It's currently in alpha state,

so some weird bugs which could crash your devices completely may occour. And also, please give me much

feedback about bugs and your ideas!

But how to set it up?

First you'll need to check whether you're android device is able to run it.

Your mobile phone should...

run android version Froyo 2.2(including) or higher

(but 4.x is recommended)
have a fast CPU

(I recommend Dual Core @ 1.0Ghz for 30 fps)
have a large screen

(400x800 or higher)
have a file browser installed

I have everything it needs, now what?

Download the apk installation file from below

Download directory

Copy it to the sd-card of your mobile phone
Open your favourite file browser (Astro File Browser is the best)
Search for the apk file
Launch it and hit "Install"
Wait until it's done
Start playing!

Game controls

->Lobby controls

Once you hit a server you'll join a lobby, which shows you important server

stats. But how to join? You'll have to tap the right side of the screen to

join and the left one to disconnect.

->Ingame controls

Left lower corner: (from the left to right)

Icon with speech bubble: Open chat

Icon with table: Show player list

Right lower corner:

Open block selection menu

Press back to open the "escape" menu, click

the screen once to disconnect

This should help you to understand the player movement:

Known bugs

~~Block texture's skewed~~
~~Multitouch bugs~~
~~Block such like flowers or ropes render like they would be normal blocks~~
Lobby bug: max amount of players always stays 128
~~Jump moves you 2 blocks in the air instantly instead of only 1~~ -> Auto Jump
Some chunks don't appear when they should

All bugs listed here are still in the game because of my lazyness

Why not try an ios version? Just asking

No easy way of installing it without putting it on the appstore, and you have to pay for it to be on the appstore, so unless you pay him to learn a different language(if needed) and for the appstore fee, there will be no ios version.

I can tell it's an android port lol, just asking if an ios version is ever coming into play, as our newest devices have 1gbs of ram. Let-alone, even a thought about it. I was thinking the same!

Ah... It is possible to release on ios for free..Just extremely hard. As we know, their store doesn't allow emulators, so you have to use some other methods. The first is releasing it on cydia. The second thing you can do is release it on the internet, however, I only know a few people who have been able to achieve this. One of those is Riley Testut. Might want to contact him to find out how he does it. But many people dont want to jailbreak :O

AndrewPH time for dominate Mon Nov 17 at 6:14:06 (2014)

In order to release anything on the ios app store, you need to have an active developer's license, which is $99/yr.

ClassiCube is not an emulator, I'm not sure what Meat was thinking there.

The exploit that Riley Testut used to release gba4ios no longer works as of iOS 8. Now, phones have to be jailbroken and have AppSync installed in order to install and run unsigned apps.

Unless you want to develop it yourself, without our direct help, you should stop trying to get us volunteers to make it.

Sorry guys I just found out that some download links on the first post where wrong. I fixed those.

Aww, I was just thinking of this idea! Good job

LOL.

Btw how's it coming with the project? is it still being worked on?

EVDESTROY Fri Feb 27 at 17:11:24 (2015)

I really like this, but is it still being worked on?

Please don't say it's dead, it's the only way me and my sister can play together ;-;

Also, there are a few glitches I've found:Big maps (128x128x128+) crash the game on my Kindle Fire HD, The players are a little glitchy, sometimes when players break/place blocks, or lava appears in lava survival, it doesn't register in the client(Shows a bunch of holes ect.), I also want chat XD

That really touches my heart evde.

@EVDESTROY There is chat, but there isn't a special button for it. You need to touch the left upper corner, then a window appears that requests input.

To cover your question about the dead thing: I would not say it's dead (I'm still here) but I got some other important things left to do in my spare time.

hello good port

tommyz_ Thu Aug 27 at 20:12:32 (2015)

Hey nice port, still crashes when the screen shuts off tho. Would this also be updated soon? I love this app, since it is very useful on the run and don't want to use pc. Could I also suggest that there should be texture pack support? Thanks guys.

Hi ByteBit, do you still have the files that you used to build this apk? I would like to continue making this app better if that is ok with you. I'm not a pro but i did try to make android apps before. I wanted to build a minecraft classic android game a few years back but i lacked knowledge and experience.

anatoliy0813 Tue Oct 6 at 3:12:25 (2015)

Nevermind, i found it. It's here: https://github.com/xtreme8000/Mineshaft

ByteBit Tue Oct 6 at 15:37:18 (2015)

The github's really outdated.

anatoliy0813 Thu Oct 8 at 5:18:23 (2015)

I don't think i'll be able to actually make it better cause i barely know java. Plus no one really plays classic anymore anyways. It would be cool though if someone could make like a multiplayer lava or zombie survival minecraft game for android like in classic.

ByteBit Wed Dec 2 at 17:43:59 (2015)

So I fixed the bug some people told me about, that the serverlist isn't downloaded anymore (this was due an url change).

From know on you can find all future builds on my private server:
