mc-image

Compile Minecraft to a native executable using GraalVM native-image!

Build instructions

1. Build the Gradle project using ./gradlew assemble
2. Run ./build.sh

After a few minutes, a minecraft-client executable will have been produced. You can run it using run.sh, which passes a few arguments Minecraft requires.

If you pass --server to build.sh, you will instead get a minecraft-server binary containing the server, and which you run directly instead of using run.sh.

Binary distribution

Since executables as generated by build.sh are essentially full distributions of the Minecraft codebase, the Minecraft EULA does not permit distributing them without explicit permission by Mojang.
