📢 Major News

After 13 years of active development, we are rewriting MCC from the ground up to make development faster and enable powerful new features. The rewrite is currently being led by @milutinke. Along the refactoring, the client is being polished, the UX and UI are being improved, new features are being added and existing ones improved. ✨

Update (10.10.2026) The early access build (No. 12) for the 2.0 client is available for download: here

Please leave feedback on Discord.

After the release of the Minecraft Console Client 2.0, the old client will remain available to use but will no longer be updated. The new client is expected for public testing in the coming weeks. 🚀

Follow progress in #🚀refactor-updates on our Discord server!

Building from the source 🏗️

This section has been moved to our new Documentation website.

License ⚖️

Unless specifically stated, the code is from the MCC Team or Contributors, and available under CDDL-1.0. Else, the license and original author are mentioned in source file headers. The main terms of the CDDL-1.0 license are basically the following:

• You may use the licensed code in whole or in part in any program you desire, regardless of the license of the program as a whole (or rather, as excluding the code you are borrowing). The program itself may be open or closed source, free or commercial.
• However, in all cases, any modifications, improvements, or additions to the CDDL code (any code that is referenced in direct modifications to the CDDL code is considered an addition to the CDDL code, and so is bound by this requirement; e.g. a modification of a math function to use a fast lookup table makes that table itself an addition to the CDDL code, regardless of whether it's in a source code file of its own) must be made publicly and freely available in source, under the CDDL license itself.
• In any program (source or binary) that uses CDDL code, recognition must be given to the source (either project or author) of the CDDL code. As well, modifications to the CDDL code (which must be distributed as source) may not remove notices indicating the ancestry of the code.
