| I'm still running Minecraft on my Fedora laptop, and I know my way around Ubuntu fairly well. I recently migrated Minecraft from a Mojang login to a Microsoft one (as we are all apparently forced to do that now). The only hassle was that Microsoft create a fake security alert in order to require me to provide them my phone number. I read elsewhere that's something Microsoft commonly do. Perhaps you could share some details of your problem? EDIT: it just occurred to me that you're probably lacking Java 17, which is the minimum for Minecraft 17 and later. It should be just a matter of: sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jre
sudo update-alternatives --config java
and set Java 17 as the default JRE.But if not, you will need a PPA from Matthias Klose, here: <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+package/openjdk-17-jre> <https://askubuntu.com/questions/705072/is-the-openjdk-r-ppa-...> Should be: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt update
and then the aforementioned steps to install the package and set Java 17 as default. |
