Idea - Add Raspbian Support

[afyber]

Would it be possible to add support for Raspbian? When I try to run the generic 32-bit it says:

MultiMC Dir: /home/pi/MultiMC
No missing dependencies found.
./MultiMC: line 38: /home/pi/MultiMC/bin/MultiMC: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

To quote @theofficialgman on the raspberry pi forums:

NOTE: This build is NOT a fork, you are executing a buildscript to build from the develop branch of the official MultiMC5 github repo BUT it does use a custom meta repo for the arm64/armhf builds, which is necessary as microsoft and the multimc5 devs do not provide arm64/armhf native libraries MultiMC5 does not give support for custom builds, your custom build included (this buildscript does not distribute custom builds, you build it yourself by running it)

I have no idea if he is right, I've mostly abandoned this project anyways so it doesn't matter much to me.

However, it seems similar to what the WoR people are doing with Windows, they are not distributing modified windows, rather letting them do it themselves, so in my mind it's a bit different. He's not even distributing the tar.gz like I was.

The answer is no.

I'll do this properly when Mojang provides the files, and until then, I will treat any attempts to do this as forks - that should not infringe on the MultiMC name, or funnel support issues to the official channels.

I am not interested in dealing with this until it becomes feasible.

[JJTech0130]

I support your decision. I was hoping that this might gain official support from Microsoft, especially with other ARM platforms like the M1 and Surface entering the market, but it looks like it won't.

[JJTech0130]

I will be archiving my repositories, and adding a notice, as I don't have time to maintain them anyway and they have fallen behind.

[peterix]

It eventually will. Probably first on Apple M1 hardware.

[JJTech0130]

Maybe in the meantime, someone will rebrand it to comply with the license, but I don't have time for that, so I'll just use my own build without providing public builds or access. 😄

I think I have archived most everything. Ping me if there's a problem or if people are still using it and I need to further restrict access.

[peterix]

I don't want to bury it, I just don't want to deal with people coming in with some weird hacked up setup on a platform I don't even have access to.

[JJTech0130]

I'm just archiving for now, I'll leave it up, but I'm making it very clear that it is deprecated and unsupported. Cuz right now, despite it linking to theofficalgmans version for quite a while, I'm still getting stars and support requests and visitors... Guess I wasn't clear enough.

I can run minecraft on rpi4 (4gb), but with the old launcher and only demo, I need MultiMC to login with MS

[JJTech0130]

Try the version in pi-apps. It has Microsoft auth iirc.

EDIT: Oh never mind I misread that. You're just stating your use case, not asking for support lol.

As of last time I checked (rather recently), the pi-apps package also contains behavior I'd call malicious. Debranding wasn't "just for fun" or to annoy users... you're not supposed to use MultiMC's branding, and never have been either. It was supposed to make it really easy to comply with that... in fact, you don't need to do anything really, now... you'd specifically, most likely with harmful intentions, have to change that to revert the changes to not comply. No, "it's just a build script" doesn't count. See also peterix' comment here: https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/issues/2133#issuecomment-967727627

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t even play Minecraft anymore, but I never unsubscribed from this thread. They should rebrand it, but I’m not in charge of that, and it’s the easiest to install and fully featured launcher for Minecraft on raspberry pi. EDIT: I’ve unsubscribed from this thread. Mention me if you need me.
