This patcher makes a Luma code.ips file for Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition. It adds Old 3DS controls and memory changes, with an optional FPS overlay for the update.
Start with the setup guide. It covers the one-time console setup, the Python GUI or PC commands, and copying the patch to your SD card.
You need your own original European Minecraft base CIA and a console with CFW. For first-time setup, add --bootstrap-cia to make the base CIA, and make the matching update CIA if you use the update. Install those CIAs once with FBI. No game files, keys, or seeds are included.
Prefer a window? Run mc3ds-gui.py with Python and PySide6. The GUI walks through both the first-time CIA setup and later IPS updates. See the GUI steps to get it running.
If your compatible bootstrap update is installed, the usual command is:
./mc3ds-patcher "Minecraft-update.cia" -o "minecraft-luma"Copy the resulting code.ips to /luma/titles/000400000017CA00/ with Luma game patching enabled. Keep the bootstrap titles installed. Later patch changes only need a new code.ips, not another FBI installation.
If you already have the matching bootstrap titles installed, the release also includes six ready-made IPS files for the supported base/update, control, and update-overlay choices. Choose the matching file and rename it to code.ips on the SD card. See the setup guide.
The patcher supports the European base game v0.1.0 and update v9.11.0. Use the original update CIA when the bootstrap update is installed, or the original base CIA when no update is installed. See the guide for Windows commands, the base-game seed, controls, and the optional overlay.
For more detail, see compatibility and tested hashes, controls, included patches, performance results, and overlay details. Source builds and release packaging are covered in the guide.
