Minecraft cheats & hacks (linux)

Hacking with Cheat Engine or Game Conqueror (Linux)

You need the latest version of Cheat Engine or Game Conqueror.

Items hacks

Alpha/Beta

1. Open Minecraft and start a new game or load a saved game.
2. Open Cheat Engine (Windows) or Game Conqueror (Linux).
3. Select process ‘javaw.exe’ near the bottom (‘java’ for Linux). (Please note: If you have downloaded the standalone version, select ‘Minecraft.exe’ from the list instead.)
4. Get at least 3 of some block type in your quick slot.
5. Start a new search and search for that quantity.
6. Drop an item (Q).
7. Search for the new value.
8. Drop another (or pickup the old one, doesn’t matter).
9. Search for the new value. You should only have a few now. Repeat until you only have ONE entry.
10. Double click to add entry.
11. In the bottom pane, right click and choose ‘Browse this memory region’.
12. Exactly 8 bytes to the right of the block’s quantity is the block’s TYPE. Compare with the hex values found here.
13. To change the type, copy the DECIMAL value from the data values page, double click on the type in the memory viewer, select 2 bytes, and paste. You can do this for items (e.g. Ingots) as well as blocks.

Classic

1. Open Cheat Engine (Windows) or Game Conqueror (Linux).
2. Select process ‘javaw.exe’ near the bottom (‘java’ for Linux). (Please note: If you have downloaded the standalone version, select ‘Minecraft.exe’ from the list instead.)
3. In minecraft, make sure you have the first block in your UI as stone.
4. Scan for the exact value 1.
5. Go to minecraft and change the first block in the UI to cobblestone.
6. Scan for the exact value 4.
7. Go to minecraft and change the first block back to stone.
8. Scan for the exact value 1 again.
9. This should yield one or two addresses. Pick one (or both) and change the value to one of the following material values from the data values list.

Health hack

1. Open Minecraft.
2. Open Cheat Engine and select process ‘javaw.exe’ near the bottom (‘java’ for Linux). (Please note: If you have downloaded the standalone version, select ‘Minecraft.exe’ from the list instead.)
3. Get your number of hearts, and double it, adding one if you have a half heart (full hearts = 20), and start a new search in CE with this value.
4. Get hurt a bit, or heal a bit, and recalculated your HP. Enter this value for the next search.
5. Repeat until one value remains. Double click to add.
6. Either set to a very high value (35535, recommended), or set to 20 and freeze the value.
7. Enjoy invulnerability.

NOTE: If you freeze your value, do not enter/leave The Nether, this will move the address where you HP is stored, possibly leading to data corruption and crashed games. Also, you won’t be invulnerable again. You can redo the above hack WHILE in The Nether, and it works fine.
Or do this:

1. Open an inventory editor, such as INVedit.
2. Put any type of armor on the player.
3. Set the damage to -32657.
4. Save it to a world.
5. Open the world you saved it to.
6. Enjoy invulnerability.

NOTE: If you wade in lava or fall off of something, then close the game and reload it, you may be dead.

Unbreakable Tools

A unbreakable tool is a tool that will never wear down or break from being used.

1. Open Minecraft.
2. Open Cheat Engine and select process ‘javaw.exe’ near the bottom (‘java’ for Linux). (Please note: If you have downloaded the standalone version, select ‘Minecraft.exe’ from the list instead.)
3. Equip a tool that is in perfect condition.
4. Find a block that is used by that tool (i.e. stone for a pickaxe, dirt for a shovel).
5. Destroy the block with the tool and search for a value of 1 in CE.
6. Do this again destroying another stone block and search for 2.
7. Repeat until you have only one address left.
8. Edit the value to something like -30000. You can now close Cheat Engine as these changes will persist (even across saves).

This can also be done by using an inventory editor and changing the “Damage” value to a negative number when the tool is selected.

Cube of destruction (CoD)

A cube of destruction is actually a n*n*n cube of tnt, that has been frozen on the TNT state and will never change back to air until the JVM changes block addresses.

1. Open minecraft and load/start a new game.
2. Collect a few of any block type (dirt recommended) and place your cube (any size, any shape).
3. Open Cheat Engine and select javaw.exe at the bottom of the process list.
4. Select size ‘Byte’.
5. Search for the value of the type of block you used (3 for dirt, find other data values if you used another block type).
6. Destroy the cube.
7. Return to CE, and search again for value ‘0’.
8. Reconstruct the cube at the same exact spot.
9. Search again for the block’s value.
10. Repeat placing, filtering for block type, destroying, and filtering for 0 until only a few items are on the list (i.e. 8 for a 2*2*2 cube), then select the values and click the red arrow.
11. Set the values to 46, and then freeze.
12. In game, whack a few of the TNT and run.
13. You will die unless you hacked your health. Before respawning, un-freeze the values, and respawn to see the damage.
