MojoLauncher

MojoLauncher runs Minecraft: Java Edition, the PC version of Minecraft, on Android. Its README: “MojoLauncher is a launcher, based on PojavLauncher, that allows you to play Minecraft: Java Edition on your Android device!” It is made by Maksim Belov (artDeell), one of PojavLauncher’s former developers, and other contributors, and it is actively developed. Releases have code names: Iris in June 2026 and Justicia in October 2026; the file hosted here is Justicia Hotfix 1. Between releases, the project publishes nightly builds.

What it does

• Vanilla and modded versions: create instances for vanilla Minecraft, OptiFine, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Legacy Fabric and Quilt, and for Better than Adventure! (BTA).
• Mods and modpacks: search Modrinth and CurseForge from the launcher; Justicia added support for the GregTech: New Horizons modpack.
• Renderers to suit your phone: GL4ES (OpenGL ES 2, Minecraft 1.21.4 and older), LTW (OpenGL ES 3, 1.17 and newer), Zink (Vulkan), Freedreno for Adreno GPUs, and Mesa options; ANGLE and VirGL come as separate plugins.
• Controls: touch layouts you can edit, and full gamepad support through SDL3, added in Justicia.
• Accounts: Microsoft, Ely.by and local accounts.

What you need

• Minecraft: Java Edition, Mojang’s paid game, to sign in with a Microsoft account. The launcher downloads the game files from Mojang’s servers; it doesn’t include them.
• Storage beyond the 91.2 MB app: game versions, Java runtimes, mods and libraries are all downloaded when needed.
• A capable phone. Java Edition was made for PCs, and how well it runs depends on the phone, the renderer and the mods. We haven’t tested it on a device.

What goes online

From the Justicia Hotfix 1 code, everything it fetches is for the game:

• Mojang: the version list, at start, and the game files; Microsoft’s sign-in, inside the app, for Microsoft accounts.
• MojoLauncher’s own sites: Java 17, 21 and 25 from its download page, checked against a certificate in the app and checked for updates every three days once installed; LWJGL, the game library, from its GitHub releases.
• Modrinth and CurseForge when you search for mods, the mod loaders’ own servers when you install one, mineskin.eu for player heads, and Ely.by for Ely.by accounts.
• No check for new versions of the launcher itself, and no analytics or crash uploads. The privacy policy says the app “uses network only for downloading game resources, mods or other content”, and that crash reports are stored on the phone but “not shared to the developer or any third parties”.

Mojang’s server blocklist is turned off by default (see the questions). The setting loads a small component, NoBlocklist, into the game.

The permissions it asks for

Eleven. Microphone is requested only if you tap “Request microphone access permission” in the settings, which “Requests system to give access to device microphone for the game”. Two kinds of foreground service keep the game and the downloads running in the background. Phone state isn’t in the launcher’s own manifest and isn’t used by its code; it was most likely added automatically by the build tools from two bundled libraries. The others are internet and network state, notifications, vibration and storage.

About this file

• This is the developers’ own release Justicia Hotfix 1 (version code 542) from the project’s GitHub page, where it is marked Latest. GitHub publishes a digest for the file, which our download matches.
• Hotfix 1 adds a custom Vulkan-driver loader to the GitHub and debug builds, fixes renamed files during downloads, Cleanroom JSON downloads that could hang, Java 8’s NoBlocklist support and physical-mouse behaviour when opening launcher menus in game, and avoids a game crash when Ely.by is unavailable. It also removes ByteHook and moves the file-permission hooks into the Java runtime patches.
• It is signed with a key issued to Maksim Belov, created in June 2026. The project keeps its release keystores in the public source repository, but not their passwords: the build workflow reads them from the project’s private settings. The repository also contains a debug key with a public password, which signs only test builds with a separate package name ending in .debug.
• The 91.2 MB file runs on Android 5.0 and later, on ARM and x86, 32- and 64-bit, and includes Java 8. Our current scan found no tracker libraries.
• MojoLauncher is licensed under the LGPL-3.0. The Mesa graphics drivers inside are built from a fork that, in the website’s words, “Due to abuse by third parties … is not available to the public”; Mesa itself is MIT-licensed, which allows that. The Minecraft Ten font in the APK says “(c) 2015-2017 Mojang AB. All rights reserved.”, and the NoBlocklist component’s repository has no licence.
• The project publishes no screenshots, only its logo, so this page has none.

CPU types in this build: arm64-v8a (64-bit ARM, almost every phone since 2017); armeabi-v7a (32-bit ARM, older and budget phones); x86 (32-bit Intel, emulators); x86_64 (64-bit Intel, emulators and Chromebooks).
