As I said I will remove the posting if deemed inappropriate either by Peter Mrazek or the RPI-forum maintainers (who could of course simply delete it.MultiMC is a free, open source launcher for Minecraft. I'll try to weaken the reference to MultiMC in this post/thread, wait a few days, and remove this thread *if* people think it shouldn't be here.ĭisclaimer: I am *not* in any ways linked to either pi-apps or theoficialgman, I (and my little nephews) are just happy that Minecraft JE finally got a good launcher on the RPI. The maintainers of this build script have made efforts to direct all support requests to their own fora, but of course there is still a chance people start posting bug-reports to the original MultiMC repo. In order to push against this risk he demands not to use the name MultiMC. His actual concern seems to be that the support load for MultiMC would increase form a user-community the product isn't suposed to support (I speculate that another - understandable - concern might be that MS changes its attitude towards MultiMC if it enables users to run MCJE on plattforms not actively supported by MS). MultiMC does not support plattforms that are not officially supported by Microsoft/Mojang (by providing libraries required to run MC). The current maintainer/owner of MultiMC5, Petr Mrázek alias peterix, isn't happy (to put it mildly) to see what he calls a "fork". Hoping to learn something from info and discussion here! Note that vanilla-MC with default configuration will have a FPS as low as 1 or 2 in the beginning, so the configuration does make a big difference. All in all I find the game playable, and with this launcher *very* comfortable to install. With MC-version 12.2 and Optifine FPS oscillates between 30 and 60 (60 is the max I set). In a flat world with desert biome, FPS can go up to even 50 FPS, but in "normal" worlds with trees and structures, it will oscillate around 20. I also notice that the complexity of the biome/current scene has a marked influence on FPS, it is therefore hard to define reproducible FPS.

An interesting finding is that FPS goes up markedly (about 30%) after playing the game for about 10 mins (I don't know why). With that configuration I got an average FPS of 20, frequently oscillating between about 10 and 30. In the "Performance"-tab I chose Fast Render and Fast Match both ON. For all other settings (there are around a dozen or more), my choice was to keep the base feature, but remove any potentially resource hungry fancyness, or set it to the fastest possible choice (e.g. Within MC the most significant Video-setting seem to be "Graphics" - which I kept at "Fancy", and "Render-Distance", which I set to "8 chunks". (vanilla Optifine, which is "added to the minecraft.jar" is fast too, but for some reason I don't understand, that often doesn't load in my environment). I made the best experience with Optifine installed on top of Fabric, suing "Optifabric" to use "Optifine" as mod. Using a 16:9 screen I set the resolution to 1280x720.Īs the RPI is very low powered, adding Optifine or Sodium/Lithium to the mix makes a big difference. I've set gpu-mem to 512 as it seemed to squeeze out a few more FPS.

I am currently running MC 1.17.1 on an RPI4 8-GB overclocked to 2.1 GHz, using the 64-bit beta OS (Debian Buster) with the most recent updates (, no Bullseye yet ). I am impressed.Īs this allows to configure and finetune MC-JE-installs very easily, here might be a place to discuss experiences with MC-JE on the RPI and compare configuration. It is built with C++/Qt5 and runs effortlessly on the RPI. It also allows to comfortably select/switch between Java-versions per-MC-install. The required version for the respective MC version are chosen automatically).

It automatically handles the hairy issue of lwjgl-drivers (all required versions are downloaded during install/build.
#MULTIMC JAVA SETUP INSTALL#
Each install is represented by an Icon used to run MC, or to access the configuration of the install. The launcher allows to comfortably setup and configure multiple/any MCJE-version and configuration (forge modpacks, papermc, optifine, optifabric.). Please note that all support-requests should be directed to either pi-apps or theofficialgman only. The scripted build takes about 20 mins to complete on your machine. Latest MC works (and any other (Java edition) version I have tested). It is a build script that creates custom build - the original author says, "a fork" - of MultiMC5 for armhf and arm64 on your machine.

Finally there is a mature, feature-rich and up-to-date launcher for Minecraft Java-Edition that supports the recently enforced MS-login.
