I’m taking the dive and switching from windows this weekend. My wife and I like to play modded Minecraft and I was wondering if that’s possible on mint? Does anyone know a way to make Minecraft run on Linux and if so, if it can run mods as well? Please share your knowledge on how to do it if it’s possible.
Java on Mint here. Works great with mods too. Been solid for years unless we get a broken mod or buggy forge update, etc. But those are easy to rollback.
It is possible. I suggest Prism Launcher. You can get CurseForge modpacks, and more.
I’ve never played Minecraft but would it be possible to do what op is asking through steam as a non steam game? Just curious
The Java version runs natively on Linux, and you can mod the game as well. If you’re playing bedrock edition, then getting it working might be a little more complicated.
Awesome. Thank you. I play Java. Bedrock is a sin.
ATLauncher my beloved, never any controversy!
(I hope this statement never bites me back)
I use Prism Launcher. You can download the mod packs easily.
Prism Launcher is the way to go, works great and has a buildin mod manager.
I use ATLauncher but for some reason every time I launch it it behaves as if it was a fresh install every time :(
I’m on mint cinnamon
Hello! I’m one of the developers of ATLauncher.
Did you install via flatpak?
This is the one I use on windows. I’m glad I’ll be able to use it on Linux too. Thank you for making such an awesome launcher.
Oh I didn’t do much, just modernization things and Linux stuff.
Ryan is who you should thank, Old lad deserves it.
Fair enough, I’m still grateful to the whole team.

It works for me. One thing to note is that your have to press the hidden apply button after changing any settings for then to take effect. I’ve forgotten it many times.
Hidden apply button?
The apply button is at the bottom of each settings page. It’s not deliberately hidden, but it is easy to miss. Just closing the settings page will revert all changes.
Alright, will discuss with Ryan about improvements
I use PolyMC.
I just learned that there’s some nefarious stuff about it though, so I’m switching to a fork of it, Prism Launcher.
