Add and design a Minecraft button

[techtek]

Minecraft is by default installed on Raspbian and we would only need to integrated the shortcut and a graphic for the shortcut to have it added to SteemPi.

Hmm, difficult. It needs java and a running GUI. But SteemPi use no running GUI (X)

[techtek]

SteemPi uses a GUI OS and needs it for many other things as well.

[dehenne]

But you should think about it if you realy want to use X.

First:
At the RPI2 you get performance problems if you run a Webserver, Minecraft, X and other stuff. Java eats a lot and after a while your load grows infinitely. After a while, the pi can freeze.

Second
The Box is called SteemPi ... with so much stuff the box has not much more todo with Steem. I dont know if the Steemit users realy need it. Maybe you should make a call in Steemit, whats about these extensions, what they think.

Third
If the user use the GUI and a X is running, they could start minecraft by its own
so why we must implement it?

1. Rpi2 and Minecraft and webserver is working without any problem and is tested, maybe at a later moment yes it maybe could lead to problems but at the moment it is not. just tested again and it eats when playing around 16% cpu and it runs smooth. and with the webser active

2. It is called SteemPi , it is a Tv-box with TV box functionality, at the moment V1.0 is running on Raspbian with X which also included Minecraft

3. Because we are running in kiosk mode and you want to start it from there

4. Minecraft is popular ( Minecraft has 55 million monthly players in 2017)
