How to setup Minecraft 1.12.1 on Raspberry Pi 3 [now obsolete and replaced with a successor]

[tegsirat]

So you want to run Minecraft on the PI through VNC while on your PC?

Why don't you just... play it on your PC?

I do play on my PC - I use the RPi as an AFK machine for farms and whatnot while i'm at work. It works really well this way, I can even VNC in from my phone to check on things.

Issue is, it will not launch unless connected to my TV. It's using one of the HDMI ports on my TV, and I'd prefer to use that port for RetroPie.

[rpiMike]

Assuming your using RealVNC, have you tried forcing the screen resolution :

Under : Troubleshooting VNC Server, Changing the Raspberry Pi’s screen resolution

https://www.realvnc.com/en/docs/raspberry-pi.html

Edit : this probably won't work with OpenGL Full but may with OpenGL Fake ?

[tegsirat]

Thanks for the info. Tried it, no go.

The specific error is "No OpenGL Context found in the current thread"

Any other suggestions?

Which version of Optifine have you downloaded ?

What version is currently specified in the 'CP=' path in runOptifine1_12.sh ?

[Quinten_Knight7601]

I got to the step where you have to install optifine, everything before it worked just fine but I entered the command and it replied saying "Error: Unable to access jarfile OptiFine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar"
Am I the only one with this problem? Did I do something wrong and if so how do I fix it

[rpiMike]

Did you download OptiFine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar in step 10 ? Is that file in your downloads folder ?

[mikesome13]

I can't seem to be able to run OptiFine_1.10.2_HD_U_E3 with 1.10.2 after editing the runOptifine1_12.sh file. Can somebody give me the code for a runOptifne1_12.sh file that can run Optifine HD U E3 and 1.10.2?

[Zeusxl60]

Has anyone been able to run mods, and if so how

Thanks for the help.

Just a guess, But i think you should be able to install forge, Edit the run.sh file to launch forge (Bottom of tutorial shows how to run other versions) and install mods. I Haven't tried this, but it should work.

I tried, and it doesn't seem to work.It runs minecraft as if forge wasn't there.

[Zeusxl60]

Why does the launcher not work on raspberry pi 3?

You would have to edit the runOptifine1_12.sh script so that it would start forge with minecraft, right? Something like that?

Yes ,but I don't know what to add. Maybe the launcher is required somehow, maybe... Maybe forge has a launcher that runs in-game, but needs to be activated.

[spoderlama]

ok i'm trying to install optifine. i press install and BOOM. "Error Minecraft version 1.12 not found. you need to start the version 1.12 manually once." there is no 1.12.jar in the .minecraft/versions/1.12 folder. only 1.12.json. do you know what im doing wrong?

There is a new version of minecraft already, in the installer when running minecraft for the first time:
- Edit profile
- Version (says now something like "use latest version"
- Select Minecraft 1.12 (instead of 1.12.1 (or higher already))

[drewyboy]

Thank you so much all for the tutorial and especially the last post stating the 1.12.1 update issue. The tut worked perfectly minus me not realizing I had to click "Play" with the 1.12 profile.

I do have a question as someone not familiar with the *nix world and terminal, how can I create a shortcut/script on the desktop that my son can click on and have it start up for him? Thanks in advance!

You need to make a shell script and put it in your documents folder. Here's how you do it.
First, open the terminal, and type

Code: Select all

cd ~/Desktop && sudo nano Minecraft.sh 

That will open up the nano text editor, I think its called. In the text editor, type

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

cd ~/Minecraft && ./runOptifine1_12.sh

Then press Ctrl+x, press Y to say yes to save, then press enter to keep the current name.
Now you have the .sh script, but you need to make it executable. In the terminal, type

Code: Select all

cd ~/Desktop && sudo chmod +x Minecraft.sh

Now you can go to your desktop, double click on the Minecraft.sh file, and click on either "Execute" or "Execute in terminal" to run minecraft.
So that's basically how you make a shortcut for minecraft.

Does this work with a BroadCom Raspberry PI 3 Model B?

[mahjongg]

Does this work with a BroadCom Raspberry PI 3 Model B?

Yes,that whats this thread is about, but we just call it a Raspberry PI model 3, we never call it a "Broadcom PI", (all raspberry PI's use a Broadcom chip) and normally we leave the "Model B" out, its just the Raspberry PI model 3.

im having some trouble:
[18:47:58 ERROR]: java.io.IOException: Stream closed
[18:47:58 ERROR]: Game ended with bad state (exit code 1)
[18:47:58 INFO]: Ignoring visibility rule and showing launcher due to a game crash
[18:47:58 INFO]: Deleting /home/pi/.minecraft/versions/1.11.2/1.11.2-natives-1103124339958

it started with not being able to open the optfine.jar file:
pi@Raspberry:~/Downloads $ cd ~/Minecraft && java -jar OptiFine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile OptiFine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar

ive tried almost everything. does anyone got some advice?

[rpiMike]

Did you successfully download that exact file 'OptiFine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar' to your Downloads folder ?

[DerekLF]

Yes. But it still won't open

[rpiMike]

Just noticed the line of script that you posted should be :

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads && java -jar OptiFine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar

[DerekLF]

I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks


Sorry for the late response. I forgot I posted on this forum too

[DerekLF]

pi@Raspberry:~ $ cd ~/Downloads && java -jar Optifine_1.11.2_HD_U_C3.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile Optifine_1.11.2_HD_U_C3.jar

pi@Raspberry:~/Downloads $ java -jar Optifine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile Optifine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar

i cant open: Optifine_1.11.2_HD_U_C3.jar and Optifine_1.12_HD_U_C3.jar


Well I've extracted all the files from the jar file. What's next?

[rpiMike]

Type :

cd ~/Downloads

Then :

ls

And post the list of files in your Downloads folder.
