Without even giving it a second thought, I immediately began to figure out how I would configure the Minecraft launcher onto my laptop. The idea felt kind of enticing to follow through so I began to do some research.Īfter googling for a couple of minutes, I stumbled upon a GitHub page that claimed to have an installable launcher that emulated Minecraft.

Perhaps there's software online that will enable us to play cross-platform. I asked myself, "How are we going to play Minecraft online if the only device I can use is an Ubuntu laptop"? The Minecraft Java Edition version is as easy as a few simple clicks to get it up and running, but could I play with Minecraft Bedrock players without using Windows? There are different versions of Minecraft. Oddly enough, I knew it was going to be good old Minecraft.Īfter they chose Minecraft, I became a bit hesitant to run through with what they wanted. Since there weren't that many Windows computers around the house, they wanted to pick a game that was from their phone.

Over the weekend, some of my cousins came over and decided to have a quick gaming session on whichever game they preferred. There is just one problem when attempting to run Minecraft Java Edition. Plus, it does not matter which operating system you run the game is cross-platform compatible!

Minecraft is basically available for any platform that you can think of besides Windows, especially on Ubuntu! Recently, Minecraft has gained back popularity thanks to a well-known YouTuber who's been recording gaming footage for his fanbase.īeforehand, Minecraft has been adapted for so long that developers have been putting in more effort into making it as portable as possible. The program is translated into: Only English.UPDATE (Dec 8, 2020): Documentation now recommends using latest version of Chris's launcher (v1.16.100 is supported) Version old Launcher Minecraft: 1.6.89-j: Download: minecraft.exe (download count: 40854)ĭownload: minecraft_legacy.dmg (download count: 4234)ĭownload: minecraft.jar (download count: 7006) Old version of the launcher (Minecraft Premium required) Few know that the old launcher from Mojang can still be used and compatible not only with the old Minecraft but also with the new game versions However, the function of completely restarting the game client still remained, but now you had to select the "Force Update" parameter in the launcher settings. In fact, this significantly saved Internet traffic and made it possible to update the game client much faster. But the most important advantage of the old launcher was the redesigned system for updating the game client, which allowed you to download and replace only those files that were to be changed when updating the game.
