Show HN: CraftBox, Run a Minecraft Server on Your Phone

11 pointsby userland_techover 3 years ago
I want to share my newest Android app with everyone on HN. CraftBox allows you to easily run a Minecraft server on your Android device. It is published in the Play Store, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=tech.ula.craftbox" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=tech.ula.craft...</a> , and posted on GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CypherpunkArmory&#x2F;CraftBox" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CypherpunkArmory&#x2F;CraftBox</a><p>I know I am late to the Minecraft scene. I am a bit old to have been part of the original craze, but I now have a son who loves the game. Now that I have played it with him, I can see the appeal.<p>I am an open source developer and the creator of UserLAnd, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=tech.ula" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=tech.ula</a>, so when I get excited about something, I am always thinking about how I can get involved and contribute to the community. I read an article on how to run a Minecraft Server on your phone, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xda-developers.com&#x2F;run-minecraft-server-android&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xda-developers.com&#x2F;run-minecraft-server-android&#x2F;</a> , but I figured I could do better by not making people go through as many steps. So, that is a goal... make this simple.<p>This is the first public release and there are many things that can be improved. You can see some of the issues I am going to be fixing soon in the GitHub issues.<p>Anyway, please check it out and tell me what you think.<p>Thanks! Corbin

This looks pretty cool and totally worked for me. Please update the Github page to include build instructions for anyone who wants to contribute. I see you have plans for Forge and Pocket Edition support so I am excited to see this progress.

Nice work! I informed the author of the XDA article about it, though I&#x27;m not sure he&#x27;ll be able to update the piece.
