  • a simple web search for 'minecraft ubuntu' gives several results with step by step instructions. If you want to use this site as a resource you must be willing to do some work and research on your own first. – Boumbles Jan 20 '14 at 01:11
  • look i have searched every corner of the inter net i have even used unrelated forum topics and changed some of the terminal properties i don't want to search any more – Upbeat ethan Jan 20 '14 at 01:14

I always run it via. command line:

java -jar /path/to/minecraft.jar

You could create a short script called start_minecraft.sh with the following contents:

#/bin/bash
/usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/minecraft.jar

and chmod +x the file.

  • i think you're the best person ever for answering but it wont let me it says unable to access /path/to/minecraft.jar help – Upbeat ethan Jan 20 '14 at 01:40
  • You'll have to figure out where the minecraft.jar file is stored and update the path in my example. This would be the file you downloaded from Mojang (with a similar, but possibly not the exact same name). – bkloppenborg Jan 20 '14 at 01:51
  • can you help me find this name it isn,t neccesarily easy to find – Upbeat ethan Jan 20 '14 at 02:40

Try creating a Launcher using the commands, it's easy and simple!

Right-Click Click Create launcher and fill in the command and directory, also change "minecraft.jar" to "Minecraft.jar" as that's what it's called for 1.9
