CraftBox, Run a Minecraft Server on Your Phone

Hacker News

I want to share my newest Android app with everyone on HN. CraftBox allows you to easily run a Minecraft server on your Android device. It is published in the Play Store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.ula.craft... , and posted on GitHub: https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/CraftBox I know I am late to the Minecraft scene. I am a bit old to have been part of the original craze, but I now have a son who loves the game. Now that I have played it with him, I can see the appeal. I am an open source developer and the creator of UserLAnd, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.ula , so when I get excited about something, I am always thinking about how I can get involved and contribute to the community. I read an article on how to run a Minecraft Server on your phone, https://www.xda-developers.com/run-minecraft-server-android/ , but I figured I could do better by not making people go through as many steps. So, that is a goal... make this simple. This is the first public release and there are many things that can be improved. You can see some of the issues I am going to be fixing soon in the GitHub issues. Anyway, please check it out and tell me what you think. Thanks! Corbin
