Minecraft Bedrock handheld port v2.0.0-rc.6 (withdrawn - use the latest release)

⚠️ Withdrawn — use v2.0.0-rc.7 instead

This release will not start on some devices. If your shared data
directory is the hidden .minecraftbedrock-data — which is how Knulli keeps
it out of its recursive Ports inventory — the port refuses to launch with:

shared-data migration: …/apk points to unexpected target
Shared-data migration failed without overwriting user data.

Nothing is damaged: it refuses precisely so that it does not touch your
worlds or installed versions. But it will not run, and rc.4 did.

rc.5 is affected in the same way. rc.7 fixes it and is otherwise
identical. Found by installing this release on a real RG34XXSP.

---

Bedrock on your handheld. No game files are included — you supply your own
Google Play copy, and the helper below is how you get it.

Which download?

You have	Take
Any normal PortMaster handheld	Standard edition
An Anbernic RG DS	RGDS edition (dual-screen, arm64 only)
A Windows PC, and no game files yet	Windows APK helper (.zip)
A Linux PC, and no game files yet	Linux APK helper (.AppImage)

Extract the port archive at the root of the storage holding your ROM folders,
refresh the Ports list, and launch Minecraft Bedrock once. Then use the
helper on a PC to download your own copy, put the files in
ports/minecraftbedrock-data/apk/, and choose Install APK.

What changed since rc.5

Nothing that runs on the device. The port binaries, scripts and runtime are
unchanged. Everything below is the PC-side helper.

The helper now runs on Linux

One file, about 26 MB: download it, chmod +x, run it. It works the same as on
Windows, minus the parts Windows only needs in order to have a Linux to run
in — no subsystem, no Ubuntu to install, so setup is two steps instead of four.
The downloader is still built on your own machine from
Google-Play-API, using
apt, dnf or pacman, with one graphical authorisation.

The sign-in window uses your system's GTK/WebKit rather than bundling a browser
engine, which measured 525 MB against 58 MB for everything else.

Fixed

• mcbedrock-get --list | head ended in a BrokenPipeError traceback. It
  exits quietly now, and Ctrl-C does too. This affected Windows as well.

Status

Testing channel. Final R36S and revised RGDS physical acceptance checks remain
pending.
