Working on Installing Amulet on Ubuntu
Minecraft world editors tend to lag behind the latest version of MC. When looking around for an editor to work with our version of MC 1.16.3, the only option I could find that would actually open a map was Amulet — an new editor currently under development.
I successfully installed the Amulet world editor for Minecraft worlds in Windows 10. Amulet is still in beta, so the complied builds are limited — only available for windows. That means Amulet for Linux has to be built from the source at this point.
Building Amulet from source required a lot of steps:
1. First, I had to install Python.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python
Amulet requires Python 3.7+, so its good to check your version after install:
python --version
If this shows Python 2.7 or similar, try this since now Ubuntu installs multiple versions in its distro:
python3.8 --version
2. Python needs the PIP package manager to download and install dependencies:
sudo apt-get python3-pip
Check to see that it installed:
pip --version
4. Correct wxPython error
https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/index.html
requires knowing GTK version
3. Download and install Amulet source
For linux run
python -m pip install -r requirements_linux.txthttps://github.com/Amulet-Team/Amulet-Map-Editor
5. Correct git error (switch to prep for install)
git warning, add to PATH

Trying to run seems to cause a bunch of issues.
Issue 1: Ubuntu’s default version of Python is 2.7. Python 3.7+ is required and my install of pip and wx modules where in 3.8. This requires resetting the default python version. This worked:
1. First, navigate to /usr/bin and see which versions of Python are installed. I had 2.7 and 3.8.
2. Set 3.8 as first choice and 2.7 as second choice using:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.8 2
Check your Python version:
python --version
Issue 2: The modules and packages Amulet is trying to use are having issues:
python ~/amulet/main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/[user]/amulet/main.py", line 1, in <module>
import wx
File "/home/ben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wx/__init__.py", line 17, in <module>
from wx.core import *
File "/home/ben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wx/core.py", line 12, in <module>
from ._core import *
ImportError: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryThis seems to be an unmet dependency issue. This was fixed by installing some packages:
sudo apt-get install git curl libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 libsdl2-2.0-0
Now Amulet opens with this command:
python ~/amulet/main.py

Amulet crashed when clicking on the “3D Editor” tab after openning a superflat map.
Seems to be a current issue with Amulet on Ubuntu 20.04: https://github.com/Amulet-Team/Amulet-Map-Editor/issues/84
Since there’s currently no fix, I’m abandoning this until the developer makes further progress.
