This project contains the source code of Minecraft Legacy Console Edition v1.6.0560.0 (TU19) from https://archive.org/details/minecraft-legacy-console-edition-source-code, with some fixes and improvements applied.

Nightly Build

• Windows: Supported for building and running the project
• Linux: The Windows nightly build may run through Wine or Proton Experimental, Tested by maintainers.
• macOS / Linux: The Windows nightly build may run through Wine or CrossOver based on community reports, but this is unofficial and not currently tested by the maintainers

• Fixed compilation and execution in both Debug and Release mode on Windows using Visual Studio 2022
• Added support for keyboard and mouse input
• Added fullscreen mode support (toggle using F11)
• (WIP) Disabled V-Sync for better performance
• Added a high-resolution timer path on Windows for smoother high-FPS gameplay timing
• Device's screen resolution will be used as the game resolution instead of using a fixed resolution (1920x1080)
• Multiplayer Discovery

Basic LAN multiplayer is available on the Windows build

• Hosting a multiplayer world automatically advertises it on the server browser.
• Other players can discover the session from the in-game Join Game menu.

Headless server example:

Minecraft.Client.exe -server

The headless server also reads and writes server.properties in the working directory. If -ip / -port are omitted in -server mode, it falls back to server-ip / server-port from that file. Dedicated-server host options such as trust-players, pvp, fire-spreads, tnt, difficulty, gamemode, spawn-animals, and spawn-npcs are persisted there as well.
