What is MojoLauncher
The Java Edition launcher built for Android
MojoLauncher is a Minecraft: Java Edition launcher based on PojavLauncher. It bundles an Android build of OpenJDK, native graphics translation layers and an on-screen control system, so the real Java Edition game, with its huge mod ecosystem, runs on a phone or tablet. You sign in with the Minecraft account you already own and play the same game you know from PC.
This is the official MojoLauncher website. Everything here links to the project's own GitHub organization and its official Google Play listing.

Under the hood
Graphics renderers and drivers
Pick the renderer that suits your GPU and game version:
- Holy GL4ES: An OpenGL-to-OpenGL ES translation layer (MIT licensed) that is the long-standing default choice for most vanilla and many modded versions.
- LTW: A newer OpenGL translation renderer focused on compatibility with shader-heavy mods. The Iris release includes fixes for Angelica, Create: Aeronautics and GregTech: New Horizons.
- Freedreno (Mesa): New in Iris: a desktop OpenGL renderer for Adreno 5xx and newer GPUs, built on Mesa 26.2 with a real EGL implementation and Kopper support.
- Turnip driver: Iris adds Turnip Vulkan driver support for several Adreno GPUs.
- Zink (legacy 23.0.4): Available for Mali GPUs through an optional plugin, translating OpenGL to Vulkan.
