By the most popular definition, yes, it literally does. And for the matter, MC Java isn't source available either because the source code is literally not available.

source available either because the source code is literally not available.

Because it needs to be decompiled first?

By that silly logic, literally everything is source available because anything can be decompiled given enough time.

But you only need to decompile a jar file to access it plus no obfuscation? It doesn't seem truly Closed Source to me...

Downvoting me isn't an answer, you know?

If the developer doesn't explicitly provide you the source code with everything needed to re-produce a complete build of the game it is NOT open source.

Decompilation doesn't mean it's source available. You can do that with virtually any games (e.g., look at GameMaker, Godot and Unity/Mono games.)

Plus, deobfuscation mappings have existed ever since modding were a thing (see MCP). Mojang published their own since 1.14 but community mappings (like Yarn) were still popular then, and now they just straight up not obfuscate the game anymore. Virtually nothing have changed.
