To play Minecraft on Linux, all you need is Java and the right version of the installer. This is quite easy to implement
Play Minecraft in Linux: Install Java
Minecraft uses Java. For this reason, it is necessary to install a suitable version on your Linux system. The following instructions will help you:
- Start the terminal with [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [T]. Now enter the following command to update the package index: sudo apt-get update.
- This is followed by the command sudo apt install default-jre. This will download and install the current Java version on your system.
- Confirm the process with [Y] or [J]. Press [Enter] to start the installation.
- After the installation, use the command java -version to check the current version. You now have Java on your system and can install Minecraft.
- Note: If you want to play the Bedrock version, an additional Java installation is not necessary.
Minecraft: Download and install Linux version
After installing Java, you only need to install the Minecraft launcher.
- To do this, visit the official download page in a browser. There you will find several download versions for Linux under MINECRAFT: JAVA & BEDROCK EDITION FÜR LINUX-DISTRIBUTIONEN.
- You have the choice between Debian- and Arch-based versions, as well as a launcher for other distributions. Download the version you need
- As with other operating systems, you can usually install the launcher directly by executing the file. Wait until the launcher installation is complete and then log in with the Microsoft account you used to purchase the game.
- You can then select the desired update version of the Java or Bedrock edition in the launcher. The launcher will take care of the setup and then you can get started. The game itself does not differ from the versions on other operating systems
