Minecraft on Linux? (lemm.ee)

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.

Playing Java (as mentioned by others) should work just fine on Linux. IIRC Fabric mod loader works pretty well, although it’s been a year since I’ve played.

Sideboard - if you’ve got an nvidia card, look into a mod called nvidium. That plus a few other visual mods got me to 128 chunk render @ ~500FPS… it’s pretty awesome, just only works w/ nvidia cards.

Thanks for the heads up. I do have nvidia. I'll check it out after I get everything set up.
