Xion Mobile
Minecraft: Java Edition on Android, tuned for ordinary phones. Part of Xion, by Taseen Rahman.
Beta. Best on 64-bit phones with Android 8+ and 4 GB of RAM or more.
What Xion Mobile adds
- Nightfall UI — the Xion mountain backdrop with a slow drift, glass panels, a big Play button and quick tiles.
- Lite mode (on by default) — the first launch of each game folder gets render distance 6, fast graphics, no clouds, minimal particles, no shadows/smooth lighting and a 60 FPS cap. Toggle it from the home screen.
- Phone performance pack — Fabric/Quilt profiles automatically get FerriteCore, ModernFix, Lithium, Entity Culling, Krypton, Dynamic FPS and BadOptimizations from Modrinth. Sodium is deliberately excluded (the mobile renderers don't support it).
- Tuned for 1.20.1 and 1.21.x; other versions still launch.
Xion-specific code lives in app_pojavlauncher/src/main/java/net/xion/mobile/ and the xion_* resources.
