How do you remove minecraft? since i can't used it anyways, i might as well remove it to free up some space.

Re: Minecraft Pi Edition not working
So all you have to do is hold in shift on boot and delete the upgrade and it starts working again? The only reason I upgraded was to get the new sonic pi and I heard yet another version is coming up. I've been hearing bad things about upgrade since forever and I finally try it and this happens.

Re: Minecraft Pi Edition not working
@shiftoneplus: Thanks for the work on this. I'd been following the github site for the fix and saw that some folks troublshot the problem and pushed out a fix a few days ago. As suggested, I ran the rpi-update.
For the un-initiated, (me included) you need to install rpi-update first:
After that, you can then run the following code to download and install the latest update:
More details here: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update and here: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=58963, but in general no need to run rpi-update because the 'apt-get install' and 'apt-get upgrade' codes will get most of the fixes taken care of.
Thanks again. My daughter is thrilled that MCPi is up and running again. Happy computing!

Re: Minecraft Pi Edition not working
(Newbie) Over in the github posting is says this issue has been fixed Sept 10 2015, but when does it appear as a fix in apt-get upgrade (Sep 20)? I just did an update/upgrade and still minecraft black screen after 5 seconds.
Re: Minecraft Pi Edition not working
Thank you for info. Ran sudo apt-get install rpi-update then sudo rpi-update all is well with Minecraft.

Re: Minecraft Pi Edition not working
rpi-update should no longer be necessary to fix the issue. Just apt-get update and upgrade should do it.
