How to install Minecraft on Linux Mint? - eviltoast

After listening to this comment in my earlier post, I finally installed Linux in my new machine. I have almost set up everything for my use case save for support for playing Minecraft.

While many Linux switchers are keen to having maximum support and optimization for games, I don’t look forward to the same. I plan to having Minecraft as my one and only game in this machine and want to have as minimal dependencies set up for playing it as possible.

I intend to use the fabric version of MC with mod support on my machine with Iris Xe GPU. I am also comfortable with using a different launcher aside from the default one if it is safe and better to do so.

Could someone give me guidance on how I go around installing Minecraft according to my needs?

    Yeah, they renamed it a couple months ago. The core team got tired of copying MineCraft 1-to-1, as there’s just no creativity involved in that and you’re hardly allowed to improve on the original.
