Quoting: GuppyIt's a git repository, you compile it and run it..

Alright. Tell me which one, and tell me how. I cloned several, and they bork on missing (local!) dependencies upon make. the cmake stage still works.

Notch even contemplated (actually, more like promised) to make it open source. And yes, it's been officially available for Linux much longer than any Android/iOS and whatever -versions.

Quoting: GuppyI guess that's not bedrock edition running on my Ubuntu desktop then, clearly you know better -.-'

I still don't see anything like this in the links you posted.

Quoting: GuppyPersonally I prefer bedrock for two reasons;

1) Bugs are concidered bugs, they aren't kept ingame just because some whiney youtuber has built his channel around the bug.
2) It's available on so many platforms, and yes that includes Linux even if unofficially ( Old: https://github.com/MCMrARM/mcpelauncher-linux , rewrite: https://github.com/minecraft-linux )

No. It's only the Launcher. The bedrock-version does NOT run on Linux.

There's a rule regarding software projects: First show me the code.

Unless that's there, it does not exist. Because 90% of software projects fail. Of course, most of these projects you won't hear about because they're internal projects of some company or other. But that's where you learn: First show me the code.

Quoting: Mountain ManAt any rate, I'm pretty sure that reverse engineering software is illegal

Absolutely not! Stop sprouting other assholes propaganda!

Of course o load of bad companies would like it to be illegal, but it's not.

It's illegal to copy code verbatim, but "reverse engineering" implies this is not the case.

You have a great list, but this one jumped out at me. It would be a perfect project for Icculus.

Wait, what? It's already out for Linux. Rune too; Kingpin as well. Been for years.

Here's some more you may not know exist:

Yes it would be nice to have contemporary ports; but at least they exist.

Sadly, your wishes are of no use. What Icculus needs is permission and source code. Unless you do have access to these of the games you name, don't even bother.

They've answered, and put a Linux binary online. Yay!
