Raspberry Pi Forums

I have finished building minecraft pi v2 but I need the file minecraft-pi.exec in /opt/minecraft-pi code so I can read it. When I open it in any text or code editor, it shows the word ELF surrounded by weird text. Can anybody open it and post the text?

You are trying to read object code. You need to find the source code, and that is unlikely to be available.

what app could I use to open it with?

Why do you need to read it? Surely you just run it.

I can not run it without the minecraft-pi.exec file

You could use "hd" or "hexdump" to get a dump format of it. If you redirect the output to a file, you could use any editor you wish to look at it. What you're trying to do is to read the equivalent of a .com or .exe file. It's not meant to be human readable.

Thank you. I will post when I release it

Please note that I am in no way suggesting that being able to read a hexdump of the executable fill do you any good, nor that using what you find in it, let alone modifying it, is necessarily legal. So far as I know, MinecraftPC is not licensed under the GPL (because if it were, we'd have the source code or legal recourse to get it).
