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.

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?

Alright ignore me, I uninstalled Flatseal and it works fine now.

... Flatseal??? I am quite confused but, I'll just nod for now.

lol I just wanted to install ATLauncher on my 2nd drive and this was a suggested solution to change the installation directory. As I said I'm a complete noob :D

Hmm... I'll have to update my instructions then, perhaps I made them incorrectly.

Hey :) Yes I did, but I am also a very inexperienced Linux user so I might have done something wrong somewhere.

I always ask if someone installed via flatpak, because apps in flatpaks are all, in theory, in the same environment.

Same environment means testing things is easier, because it's more likely the fault of some code bug then the user.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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
