FBA — Flashback for Android
Bringing Flashback to Android.
A client-side Fabric compatibility layer for Android Minecraft launchers.
Overview
FBA is an unofficial, client-side Fabric compatibility addon that adapts Flashback for Android Minecraft launchers.
It provides Android-specific patches for desktop functionality that may not work correctly in mobile environments, helping Flashback integrate smoothly with Android launchers.
FBA is built around one goal: make Flashback easier and more reliable to use on Android.
Features
- Android Compatibility — Patches parts of Flashback that rely on desktop-specific functionality unavailable or unsupported on Android.
- File Dialog Integration — Adds Android-friendly handling for file selection and related file dialog operations where supported.
- Export Support — Adapts export handling for Android environments, allowing files to be saved through compatible paths and workflows.
- Runtime Patches — Uses Fabric mixins and additional compatibility code without requiring you to replace the original Flashback JAR.
- Launcher Compatibility — Developed with Android launchers in mind, including ZalithLauncher 2, Mojo/MJLauncher, Amethyst Launcher, and other compatible launchers.
Compatibility
| Component | Support |
|---|---|
| Platform | Android |
| Mod loader | Fabric |
| Environment | Client-side |
| Mod | Flashback |
| Launchers | Android Minecraft launchers |
| Rendering | Dependent on launcher and backend |
Actual compatibility depends on the Minecraft version, Flashback version, launcher, LWJGL implementation, and renderer. Not every feature is guaranteed to work across all Android devices and launcher configurations.
