Minecraft Installation – How to Install Minecraft on Ubuntu

javaminecraftsoftware installation

I have tried many tutorials but none of them are clear enough. I have also tried installing it using Wine but it won't update and Wine goes gray and stops working.

Does anybody know an easy way to install Minecraft though the Java file without using Wine?

It is not necessary to install Minecraft. All you need to do is install Java.

Now right click on your Minecraft.jar file and select "Open with Oracle Java 7 Runtime"

That's it. Enjoy!

I reccomend installing Minecraft through the Unofficial PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install Minecraft-Installer

After installing the installer, login and install the version of Minecraft you wish to install. Then download the version of forge (preferably the universal installer) for the version you need. You will need to allow executing the file as a program. On XFCE do

chmod u+x forgeversion.jar

Then make sure you are set to run Forge with Java and not Archive manager. It should auto detect the install directory for Minecraft. Then simply launch Minecraft and select the version with Forge in the title. Hope this helps!
