About Amethyst-iOS
Amethyst-iOS is an open-source GitHub repository that contains the source code for the iOS and iPadOS port of Amethyst. Amethyst is a Minecraft: Java Edition launcher for Android, iOS, and iPadOS based on PojavLauncher and zhuowei's Boardwalk project. The repository includes build files, documentation links, and release and nightly IPA files for installation.
With it, you can launch most versions of Minecraft: Java Edition, from the first beta to new snapshots, and use Forge, Fabric, OptiFine, and Quilt mods. It supports Microsoft account login and demo mode, with customizable on-screen controls as well as keyboard, mouse, and game controller input. Installation is done by sideloading with tools such as TrollStore, AltStore, or SideStore, and requires enabling JIT compilation.
It suits iPhone and iPad users on iOS 14.0 and later who are comfortable using GitHub releases, following wiki setup steps, and managing sideloading and JIT requirements.
