Compile Instructions

Visual Studio (.sln)

  1. Open MinecraftConsoles.sln in Visual Studio 2022.
  2. Set Minecraft.Client as the Startup Project.
  3. Select configuration:
    • Debug (recommended), or
    • Release
  4. Select platform: Windows64.
  5. Build and run:
    • Build > Build Solution (or Ctrl+Shift+B)
    • Start debugging with F5.

CMake (Windows x64)

Configure (use your VS Community instance explicitly):

cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE="C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community"

Build Debug:

cmake --build build --config Debug --target MinecraftClient

Build Release:

cmake --build build --config Release --target MinecraftClient

Run executable:

cd .\build\Debug
.\MinecraftClient.exe

Notes:

  • The CMake build is Windows-only and x64-only.
  • Contributors on macOS or Linux need a Windows machine or VM to build the project. Running the game via Wine is separate from having a supported build environment.
  • Post-build asset copy is automatic for MinecraftClient in CMake (Debug and Release variants).
  • The game relies on relative paths (for example Common\Media\...), so launching from the output directory is required.
