Running the Pi Edition on modern systems? (thebrainbin.org)

Running the Pi Edition on modern systems?

#Minecraft #RaspberryPi

Microsoft still hosts the now abandoned Pi Edition. However, given it is an aging program for an aging system for an aging hardware, even if they keep it up for download, native accessibility to it grows ever smaller.

Also, on a personal level, I like playing outdated builds of games, which makes me want to play this version too.

Given those, I ask, is there some way to run the Pi Edition on modern systems, be them either ARM, x86, or the sort?

I have seen that apparently QEMU can run the Legacy 32-bit build of Raspberrian / Raspberry Pi OS, but given size constraints, reads "I'm running out of space", I can't test it myself rn. T-T

I also have seen there is apparently a project to run it natively on modern systems, but given it allegedly modifies some elements of the game, I'd rather avoid it.

Or, within the scope of the question, is there some emulator, translation layer, etc., which could be used to run it similar to how it'd be natively?

And tangential, but to those also interested, the Pi Edition is available here, at the bottom left of "Other versions & platforms": https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download#alternate-versions

That's the one I tapked about that apparently changes stuff.

The idea would be to run the build Microsoft/Mojang provides, not this.
