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.

Hello! I'm one of the developers of ATLauncher.

Did you install via flatpak?

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.

Fair enough, I'm still grateful to the whole team.

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.
