I was testing Minecraft PE and decided to try replacing the Java part of Minecraft PE for Android.

I couldn't figure out how textures load, so I had the code return null, and it triggered a weird all-grey texture mode:



Well, I fulfilled this guy's wish.

And then I somehow got it to render random textures:



Edit: more:

Every texture is replaced by a 2x2 blue, white, transparent, and blue texture.


Textures only loaded from an external .zip of Faithful pack for PE:



Every texture loaded:

That looks very strange. How exactly did you get it to look like that?

I made my own Minecraft PE launcher that takes a libminecraftpe.so and implements the same methods as the real Java code. I just did

    public int[] getImageData(String name) {
        System.out.println("Get image data: " + name);
        return null;
    }

return null means return nothing.

For the second static one - I returned an array of random junk data, and it somehow became that; I can't reproduce it.

More pictures added.

Hey, so could you possibly create a alter. launcher for PE in which you could change texture pack and things? ;o
And in what language have you wrote it? Because I'd like to mess with this and I know only C++ (and PSP LUA, but it it's a shame to even tell anyone that ^^)

Java. I can't make an alternate launcher because I can't ship libminecraftpe.so with the launcher.

Wait, you can code some java for it? That might lead to actual mods!

The only bits of Java code in the app are for loading textures, entering seeds, and displaying settings. I can't modify anything else.

Weird... what might this mean for PE?

I did manage eventually to fix the experiment: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1675581-mcpelauncher-an-android-app-that-launches-minecraft-pe-with-a-custom-texture-pack/
