Hello!

I want to share a software that I wrote. It is a launcher for the Pi Edition that has some additional features:

• Switch between Pi Edition and PE
• Change username (max 7 characters)
• Change of skin
• Mod load
• Mod API
• Mod compilation
• World game mode and name change
• Join to non-local servers

It requires Python 3, but it already comes installed on most Linux distributions, so it shouldn't be a problem.

To install it, download https://github.com/Alvarito050506/MCPIL/releases/download/v0.2.0/mcpil_0.2.0.tar.gz, unzip it and execute the install.py file, and to execute it, run the mcpil.py file.

It's in alpha, so it may have any bugs. Any feedback is aprecciated. It's all!

P.S.: Sorry for my English.

Edit: Thanks to @Phirel for his Pi2PE (a.k.a. "survival") patch.

Your creative mode mob spawning patch works great. It gave me the idea to start making patches too.

I made a patch for Minecraft: PI edition, but it doesn't have a patchtool file yet. If you have any problems applying this patch, please let me know It allows you to replace a glass pane in the game with any item id up to 0xff. I can make it go higher, but it would require a more complicated patch. If somebody wants that I can give info on how to do it or create another patch. I can also make patches with more items to replace at once, but I want to see if this one works for other people first.
All you need to do is search for this line in minecraft-pi with a hex editor and change the first byte "66" to the item id that you want.
Only one location should have these values in the file
66 10 a0 e3 31 20 a0 e3 00 30 9c e5 00 50 a0 e1
If you have an ARM disassembler, the first 4 bytes will be this instruction: MOV R1, #0x66
If you do the patch and you get a slot is already filled warning on the console, the item that you are trying to add is already in minecraft pi inventory.
The symptoms in game of the problem above would be glass panes spawning for one of the two items in the inventory with the same icon.
Then you can go into minecraft-pi and you should have the new item. It may not show up as the right item in the selection.
For example, the fire item id will show up as a orange square.
I did the more complicated patch to give myself flint and steel and I replaced the sword.
It ignited tnt, but it looked like a sword in the game.
The nether reactor will also work, but only if you edit the level.dat and possibly the level.dat_old and set the gametype to 0x00/survival.
Zombie pigmen will also spawn inside the nether reactor but they can't hurt you because survival mode is still partially creative mode in the pi alpha version.
I have only been doing ARM assembly language for around 5 days, so There may be bugs in this patch even though you are only changing 1 byte.
The Minecraft PI edition is great even as an alpha. The only thing that I think could make it better at this time is if you make at least part of the source code available.
That way people could also make more advanced mods for it after they get tired of using the api.
I'd like to thank the Mojang team for spending their time working on the Minecraft PI edition.
They have done a great job even in the alpha version.
