iOS

Instructions for installing PojavLauncher on Apple devices.

Sideloading (TrollStore)

We recommend TrollStore for all users if possible. This method allows for automatic JIT enabling, more memory allocation, and non-revoking installs.

1. Follow the steps to install TrollStore (opens new window).

   • TrollStore is compatible with the following iOS versions:
     • 14.0 to 15.4.1
     • 15.5 beta 1 to 15.5 beta 4
     • 15.6 beta 1 to 15.6 beta 5

2. Download the latest release from here (opens new window).

   • For a specific release, you can find its package on the Releases (opens new window) page

3. Locate where the .ipa was downloaded, tap the Share icon, and choose TrollStore in the list of options available.

You can now enjoy Minecraft: Java Edition on your iDevice!

Sideloading (Unjailbroken)

Requires an active Apple ID, that has signed into the Developer Portal (opens new window) at least once.

PojavLauncher supports being sideloaded with AltStore, Sideloadly, and Xcode. Instructions to use AltStore are below--for other options, refer to their documentation.

1. Follow the official guide on installing AltStore itself:

   • Instructions for Mac (opens new window) and Windows (opens new window)

2. Install the latest release using this Install with AltStore button.

   • For a specific release, you can find its button on the Releases (opens new window) page

Installing PojavLauncher is not the end for iOS devices. In order to play Minecraft itself, you will need to enable JIT.

Sideloading (Jailbroken)

Currently, AppSync Unified is not supported. There is an issue (opens new window) regarding the data directory when installed with AppSync.

You can follow the Sideloading (TrollStore) or Sideloading (Unjailbroken) steps to sideload on a jailbroken iDevice. Regardless of the method, you will benefit from automatic JIT enabling and more memory allocation.

GitHub Actions

Requires a GitHub account in order to download.

If you want the latest and greatest to test before the official release, you can grab a copy from GitHub Actions.

1. Start off by heading to the PojavLauncher iOS (opens new window) repository and switching to the "Actions" tab.

2. Next, select "Development Build" in the workflow selection menu.

3. Choose a build with a green or blue checkmark next to the branch you want to download.
   • main will be the one for most people.

4. Under "Artifacts", choose net.kdt.pojavlauncher.ipa

Once you have an Actions build downloaded, you can now unzip the file and use this .ipa for TrollStore or sideloading.
