Linux has always been a better alternate for windows if the user wants to customize the UI according to his use case.
But one thing that frustrates every user is the lack of games support on Linux distros. So here's an easy guide on installing and running Minecraft on your Linux machine. I have divided the process in some simple steps, so if your machine fulfills the requirements , skip to the next step.
1) Install java if not installed -
If you are rocking any Debian-based Linux (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali Linux, parrot os), you can check if java is installed or not by typing java --version in the terminal.
I am using kali Linux and here's how it would look if java is installed.
a) sudo apt-get update
b) sudo apt-get upgrade
c)sudo apt install default-jdk and then click Y
Java will be installed and then you can check the version by writing java --version.
2) After installing java you have to download a .zip file for tlauncher (launcher that runs Minecraft)
For that click on the link here- Tlauncher
It will redirect you to a site where you can download zip files.
Extract the zip file to your preferred location.
3) Running the game-
Go to the directory where you have extracted the zip file. Right-click and open the folder in terminal and write the code - sudo java -jar TLauncher-2.82.jar and enter your password.
This will open the Tlauncher page and now you can enter your username and click enter the game to open the game!
