PojavLauncher

From the ashes of zhouwei's Boardwalk project comes PojavLauncher, a capable, fast, and open-source Minecraft: Java Edition launcher for Android and iOS.

PojavLauncher is based off of zhouwei's Boardwalk project, which brought Minecraft 1.13 to Android. Improved upon and revived by the team, PojavLauncher brings Boardwalk to new heights with more versions, more devices, and even iOS support.

Right now, you're looking at the PojavLauncher website, with information regarding the launcher and various guides on how to navigate, operate, and get to playing. Take a look around, there's more in store!
