AppImage (self contained and updateable executable)

# This won't work with the current 1.16.20 Version

The launcher will now update automatically to ng.appimage with 1.16.100 support, as we don't need two launchers

https://github.com/ChristopherHX/linux-packaging-scripts/releases/tag/ng.appimage
You can still use this Launcher version, you will find all releases of my fork under assets of this release

First read my README for current Features, known Issues and Bugs.

Should work for
Minecraft PE (Android) 0.12 to Minecraft Bedrock (Android) 1.16.0.66 from Google Play (direct download via api) or Amazon Store (apk only)
Minecraft PE trial (apk) versions should work too, but still not more features than on android
I cannot test every build

Minimum Requirements for running Android apps on PC

If your CPU doesn't support them, the game will quit with code 4 (illegal Instruction), in rare situations this was a bug of the compiled code.

To get an appicon in the start menu for my fork install an app like

Important Raspberry Pi2B, 3B, 3B+ downgrade to mesa 1.13, doesn't apply to Pi4 or newer

cd $HOME
curl -L https://github.com/ChristopherHX/mcpelauncher-manifest/releases/download/1.12.x.2.armhf.raspbian.buster/mesa.tar.xz --output mesa.tar.xz
tar -xf mesa.tar.xz

Now you can run it with older mesa (fixes strange ingame render issues for 0.14.3 or later)
