About this project

What does BlazeSDL add?

Minecraft uses GLFW as underlying windowing library. This mod ports Minecraft to SDL3, to get:

  • Better IME (Input Method Editor) support
  • Better Wayland support
  • More efficient event polling (by eliminating JNI upcall of GLFW)
  • More to come...

Mojang already uses SDL3 in 26.3-snapshot 4. So no more new version will be supported in BlazeSDL!
