How to install Minecraft on Linux Mint? (discuss.online)

After listening to this comment in my earlier post, I finally installed Linux in my new machine. I have almost set up everything for my use case save for support for playing Minecraft.

While many Linux switchers are keen to having maximum support and optimization for games, I don't look forward to the same. I plan to having Minecraft as my one and only game in this machine and want to have as minimal dependencies set up for playing it as possible.

I intend to use the fabric version of MC with mod support on my machine with Iris Xe GPU. I am also comfortable with using a different launcher aside from the default one if it is safe and better to do so.

Could someone give me guidance on how I go around installing Minecraft according to my needs?

You have a few choices:

  • Minecraft launcher (official) - Allows you to play vanilla MC.

  • Prisim launcher - allows you to download & play mod packs from several sources (newer FTB packs have to be loaded up in the FTB app first before being imported).

  • FTB app - allows you to play basically any FTB modpack.

The first should show up in the software store and the second two have install instructions on their websites.
