# P7MC 1.14.4 Ready-to-go

P7MJ's Cracked Minecraft `1.14.4`, ready for Singleplayer and Multiplayer out of the box.

## Quick Start

Go to the [releases](https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/p7mj/MC-P7MJ-1-14-4/releases) page and download the source code.

Extract the file. Now that your Minecraft is set up, you can launch it.

Locate and double-click `Client.bat` to launch an instance of Vanilla (original) Minecraft. Alternatively, you can double-click `Client (OptiFine HD F2 Ultra).bat` for better graphics, performance, and Optifine resourcepack/shader support.

To change your player name, double-click `nick.txt` and replace `Steve` with a username of your choice. Save the file and restart Minecraft if it was open.

## Multiplayer

### Hosting a server

If your computer can run singleplayer smoothly, it can likely run a server for friends to join.

* Open a singleplayer world, press `Esc`, and click `Open to LAN`. Your friends can now see your world on the multiplayer menu.

* You can also use dedicated server software (bundled with this package) to achieve multiplayer:
    * `Start Server (Console).bat` to run it in a command prompt window, or
    * `Start Server (GUI).bat` to run it in an interface that tracks joined players and resource usage.

For friends to join the dedicated server, make sure they know your local IP address (e.g. `192.168.1.XX`) and the port. You can get these by running `ipconfig` in a command prompt.

> [!TIP]
> If you get the error message "Invalid Session", try configuring your server to `online-mode=false`.

### Joining a server

Due to this being a cracked instance, you can only join so-called "offline" servers. Fortunately, those are plenty.

You can also join LAN worlds hosted by premium (bought) clients, or cracked (offline) clients such as this one.

> [!NOTE]
> This client is unable to join so-called "online" or "official" servers, such as Hypixel. This is due to the client not verifying the username or authentication information upon startup. If you get the message "Invalid Session", you cannot join that server.

## Credits and Technical Information

The original author is **QuestTreck**, and I found this file on the Internet Archive.

Original link: [Minecraft Portable (Full Game) 1.14.4](https://archive.org/details/minecraft-portable). Unfortunately, this link seems to have been taken down.

This is a modified version of the original. The original had a modified jarfile, so I obtained an original jarfile and swapped it out. I have verified the functionality of all gameplay after swapping, and it works fine.

It is unlikely (and I have ran this on multiple computers without bugs), but the original author mentioned that if you are having `missing .dll` errors, open the `_Redist` folder and run `dxwebsetup`.

A compatible version of Java is bundled within the zip file, and Minecraft is configured to use it. There should be no need to install anything at all, and it should work out-of-the-box on any Windows 10-11 computer.

> [!WARNING]
> We do not endorse cracking or distributing cracked versions of Minecraft!

> [!TIP]
> Buy Minecraft! It comes with two editions (Java and Bedrock). This is an example of the Java edition. You can get official Minecraft to get access to all editions of Java, or an auto-updating version of the newest Bedrock.

> [!NOTE]
> I made another offline launcher from scratch called [P7MC](https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/p7mj/P7MC). It supports every Minecraft Java version in existence. Check it out!
