MCPEChatFix is a small tweak that repairs a chat bug in Minecraft Pocket Edition on older versions of iOS, specifically iOS 5 and iOS 6. It targets jailbroken iPhones and iPads installed through Cydia rather than the regular App Store. The README lists three specific problems it fixes. On iOS 5 and 6, the chat screen could appear completely black, which is fixed by manually setting the keyboard height to a correct value. On iOS 5 only, the text cursor would appear on the left side of the input field instead of following the typed text, which is fixed by setting the string length to a very high number. On iOS 6 only, the space bar stopped working because the space character was being lost somewhere in the game's text processing, so the tool manually handles that input instead. To install it, you add the developer's Cydia repository to your device, find the MCPE Chat Fix package, and install it, then launch Minecraft Pocket Edition to confirm the chat works again. The author tested this tweak on a specific set of older Apple devices: an iPhone 4S on iOS 5 with Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.14.1, an iPhone 4S on iOS 6 with version 0.14.3, an iPad 2 on iOS 6 with both 0.14.1 and 0.14.3, and an iPod Touch 4 on iOS 6 with version 0.14.3. The author believes version 0.13.x of Minecraft Pocket Edition has the same bug and should also be fixed by this tweak, but says that combination was not directly tested. The README does not mention a license.
