Dear Minecraft Forums,

I am currently using a Samsung Google Chromebook (running on chrome OS), and when I went to download Minecraft, (and selected OTHER), the laptop said that it could not support the file. Could someone lead me to a download which my laptop could support? And quite possibly even some mods and a mod loader?

I am not familiar with ChromeOS, but I assume it could run java files.
If so, this is the download link for the .jar format of the Minecraft launcher.

https://s3.amazonaws...r/minecraft.jar

As is, there is no out-of-the-box support for Java on ChromiumOS. So I doubt that would work.

Either install linux/ubuntu or try the web version.

This is the best article I could find on the subject, but it does look like you are going to have to modify your system to get it running.

Is ChromeOS a whole new OS or a modified Linux or what?

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

I assume it's a new OS based on the Chromium project.

It's Linux-based. A distro, if you will. Read on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux-based_operating_system

Odd how Java isn't supported then. Hmm.
