Minecraft LCE Decompilation Project Launched: Reviving a Classic
2025-02-26
An ambitious project has begun to decompile Minecraft Legacy Console Edition (LCE) for the Nintendo Switch. The Switch version was chosen due to its inclusion of function symbols and the use of the easily-matched Clang compiler. Challenges include a lack of complete symbol information and the need to reconcile code across different platforms. The team is overcoming these by leveraging symbol information from the Wii U version and type information from the Switch version. The project aims to provide a foundation for game research and modification, and to offer insights into similar decompilation efforts.
