Building

Bleeding-edge builds are generated automatically for every commit. You can see them here.

If you'd rather compile on your own, follow these instructions. First, make sure you have JDK 16-17 installed. Other JDK versions will not work. Open a terminal in the Mindustry directory and run the following commands:

Windows

Running: gradlew desktop:run
Building: gradlew desktop:dist
Sprite Packing: gradlew tools:pack

Linux/Mac OS

Running: ./gradlew desktop:run
Building: ./gradlew desktop:dist
Sprite Packing: ./gradlew tools:pack

Server

Server builds are bundled with each released build (in Releases). If you'd rather compile on your own, replace 'desktop' with 'server', e.g. gradlew server:dist.

Android

1. Install the Android SDK here. Make sure you're downloading the "Command line tools only", as Android Studio is not required.
2. Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to point to your unzipped Android SDK directory.
3. Run gradlew android:assembleDebug (or ./gradlew if on linux/mac). This will create an unsigned APK in android/build/outputs/apk.

To debug the application on a connected phone, run gradlew android:installDebug android:run.

Troubleshooting

Permission Denied

If the terminal returns Permission denied or Command not found on Mac/Linux, run chmod +x ./gradlew before running ./gradlew. This is a one-time procedure.

---

Gradle may take up to several minutes to download files. Be patient.
After building, the output .JAR file should be in /desktop/build/libs/Mindustry.jar for desktop builds, and in /server/build/libs/server-release.jar for server builds.
