MrTheShy 8583e99d94 Fix crash in WriteHeader when save buffer is too small for header table
When a player enters a new region, RegionFile's constructor calls
createFile which adds a FileEntry with length 0 to the file table.
This increases the header table size (appended at the end of the save
buffer) by sizeof(FileEntrySaveData) per entry, but since no actual
data is written to the file, MoveDataBeyond is never called and the
committed virtual memory pages are never grown to match.

On the next autosave tick, saveLevelData writes level.dat first
(before chunkSource->save which would have grown the buffer). If
level.dat doesn't need to grow, finalizeWrite calls WriteHeader which
tries to memcpy the now-larger header table past the end of committed
memory, causing an access violation.

This is especially likely in splitscreen where two players exploring
at the same time can create multiple new RegionFile entries within a
single tick, quickly exhausting the page-alignment slack in the buffer
(yes i am working at splitscreen in the meanwhile :) )

The fix was deduced by tracing the crash callstack through the save
system: FileHeader, ConsoleSaveFileOriginal, the stream chain, and
the RegionFile/RegionFileCache layer. The root cause turned out to be
a gap between createFile (which grows the header table) and
MoveDataBeyond (the only place that grows the buffer), with
finalizeWrite sitting right in between unprotected.

The buffer growth check added here mirrors the exact same VirtualAlloc
pattern already used in MoveDataBeyond (line 484-497) and in the
constructor's decompression path (line 176-190), so it integrates
naturally with the existing code. Same types, same page rounding,
same error handling. The fast path (no new entries, buffer already big
enough) is a single DWORD comparison that doesn't get taken, so there
is zero overhead in the common case.

This is the right place for the fix because finalizeWrite is the sole
caller of WriteHeader, meaning every code path that writes the header
(closeHandle, PrepareForWrite, deleteFile, Flush) is now protected by
a single check point.

Introduction

This project contains the source code of Minecraft Legacy Console Edition v1.6.0560.0 (TU19) from https://archive.org/details/minecraft-legacy-console-edition-source-code, with some fixes and improvements applied.

Nightly Build

Platform Support

  • Windows: Supported for building and running the project
  • macOS / Linux: The Windows nightly build may run through Wine or CrossOver based on community reports, but this is unofficial and not currently tested by the maintainers

Features

  • Fixed compilation and execution in both Debug and Release mode on Windows using Visual Studio 2022
  • Added support for keyboard and mouse input
  • Added fullscreen mode support (toggle using F11)
  • (WIP) Disabled V-Sync for better performance
  • Added a high-resolution timer path on Windows for smoother high-FPS gameplay timing
  • Device's screen resolution will be used as the game resolution instead of using a fixed resolution (1920x1080)
  • LAN Multiplayer & Discovery
  • Added persistent username system via "username.txt"

Multiplayer

Basic LAN multiplayer is available on the Windows build

  • Hosting a multiplayer world automatically advertises it on the local network
  • Other players on the same LAN can discover the session from the in-game Join Game menu
  • Game connections use TCP port 25565 by default
  • LAN discovery uses UDP port 25566

This feature is based on LCEMP

Launch Arguments

Argument Description
-name <username> Sets your in-game username.
-server Launches a headless server instead of the client.
-ip <address> Client mode: manually connect to an IP. Server mode: override the bind IP from server.properties.
-port <port> Client mode: override the join port. Server mode: override the listen port from server.properties.

Example:

Minecraft.Client.exe -name Steve -ip 192.168.0.25 -port 25565

Headless server example:

Minecraft.Client.exe -server -ip 0.0.0.0 -port 25565

The headless server also reads and writes server.properties in the working directory. If -ip / -port are omitted in -server mode, it falls back to server-ip / server-port from that file. Dedicated-server host options such as trust-players, pvp, fire-spreads, tnt, difficulty, gamemode, spawn-animals, and spawn-npcs are persisted there as well.

  • Sneak / Fly (Down): Shift (Hold)
  • Sprint: Ctrl (Hold) or Double-tap W
  • Inventory: E
  • Drop Item: Q
  • Crafting: C Use Q and E to move through tabs (cycles Left/Right)
  • Toggle View (FPS/TPS): F5
  • Fullscreen: F11
  • Pause Menu: Esc
  • Attack / Destroy: Left Click
  • Use / Place: Right Click
  • Select Item: Mouse Wheel or keys 1 to 9
  • Accept or Decline Tutorial hints: Enter to accept and B to decline
  • Game Info (Player list and Host Options): TAB
  • Toggle HUD: F1
  • Toggle Debug Info: F3
  • Open Debug Overlay: F4
  • Toggle Debug Console: F6

Build & Run

  1. Install Visual Studio 2022.
  2. Clone the repository.
  3. Open the project by double-clicking MinecraftConsoles.sln.
  4. Make sure Minecraft.Client is set as the Startup Project.
  5. Set the build configuration to Debug (Release is also OK but has some bugs) and the target platform to Windows64, then build and run.

CMake (Windows x64)

cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64
cmake --build build --config Debug --target MinecraftClient

For more information, see COMPILE.md.

Known Issues

  • Native builds for platforms other than Windows have not been tested and are most likely non-functional. The Windows nightly build may still run on macOS and Linux through Wine or CrossOver, but that path is unofficial and not currently supported
