KindleKraft – Minecraft Server for Kindle

KindleKraft turns your Kindle e-reader into a Minecraft multiplayer LAN server for versions 1.7.x and 1.8.x. Host and play Minecraft SMP right from your Kindle—no computer required after setup!

What Is KindleKraft?

KindleKraft is an experimental project that lets you run a Minecraft LAN server on your Kindle. Host classic Minecraft (1.7.x–1.8.x) multiplayer sessions directly from your e-reader.

Requirements

Kindle with softfloat (SF) firmware (firmware below 5.16.3; SF-only unless Java is manually replaced for hardfloat)
KTerm terminal emulator installed

Install & Setup

Download: KindleKraft on GitHub
Place the extension in /extensions and the archive in your Kindle’s root directory (do not extract).
(Optional) Create a 256MB swapfile for better performance.

How to Run

Open KindleKraft in KUAL and select Install KindleKraft. Wait for installation.
Select Launch in KUAL. KTerm will open.
In KTerm, start the server with kindlekraft.
For multiplayer, run kindlekraft -s. To check your Kindle’s LAN IP, use kindlekraft -i.

Connect & Play

Join from any device on the same LAN using Minecraft 1.7.x or 1.8.x.
Latest client + ViaFabricPlus recommended for compatibility.

Notes

Fully tested on Kindle 7 (KT2, BASIC). Partially tested on Kindle Paperwhite 7th Gen (PW3) up to 5.16.2.1.1.
UI glitches may occur on newer Kindles or firmware, but server functionality usually works.
Fun, experimental, and open-source—expect quirks and have fun!
