3: Prerequisites

To get started making MCPE mods, you will need a few things. For simplicity, we will be creating mods on a PC and compiling on Android.

Knowledge

• This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of the C programming language, including: pointers; addresses; basic data types; and structs.
• It is also recommended that you have an understanding of at least the following C++ features: object structure and virtual function tables (vtables).

Tools

Windows/Mac/Linux

• IDA (the Interactive Disassembler) for disassembling Minecraft and accessing its assembly code
• A basic code editor. I recommend Notepad++ or Sublime Text (google is your friend)
• Some way to transfer files to your Android device (USB connection is fine)

Android

• A basic code or text editor (if you will be writing code on your Android device)
• AIDE (the Android IDE) from the Google Play Store. This app will be used to compile mods.
