How to use

IDK bro just do what you want that's it
You can use creative worlds as workspaces, books as files and chests as directories XD.
Maybe one day there will be a terminal blocks that could run commands and start xorg windows!

How to burn ISO to disk

Precompiled images: Latest release

To burn live-cd iso to disk use:

sudo dd if=/path/to/minceraftOS.iso of=/dev/<disk_id> status=progress

To find out your <disk_id> (ex. sda), use lsblk or fdisk -l

For now, there is no read-write mode, only live-cd

How to make ISO file

Preparing minceraft

At first, you need to prepare minceraft.

Minceraft preparing consists of 5 steps:

Copying UltimMC configs to data/mine dir
Building and copying mods to MC instance
Compiling UltimMC from source (if you want to skip this step, you only need to copy built release of UltimMC to ultimmc/build directory)
Downloading assets and libraries (just launches instance in online mode)
Copying UltimMC configs again

Use mkmine to do all this automatically:

./mkmine

# IMPORTANT: if you get java selection window, choose Java 21

Creating ISO file

Use mkiso script to create ISO file. Result will be in the output/ directory.

Script compiles it only for x86_64, but I think it's not really hard to make it compile for any other architecture

This script only work on Void Linux (because it needs XBPS).

sudo ./mkiso

# idk why it needs sudo, please pr if you know how to remove it

One-liner

Finally, you can forget all above and use just [ -d data/mine ] || ./mkmine; sudo ./mkiso
