im running linux ubuntu 12.10. ive got a recent download of minecraft.jar, i have gone into the permissions tab and selected "Allow executing file as program". i have downloaded OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime. when i right click minecraft.jar and select "Open with OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime" nothing happens, and when i go into properties, into the "Open With" tab, i cannot find an option for OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime, though i have verified that i do, indeed, have it downloaded both through the software center and the terminal (as in ive found it in both places, not that ive downloaded it twice.)
are there any additional fonts or files i need to download? if anyone knows what im doing wrong, or what i need to do to get it to launch from a desktop icon, that would be great, if anyone knows the command to launch it via terminal, that would be equally fantastic.
1. Make sure minecraft has been run at least once so it can download the gamedata. 2. Download the latest version of the game engine: http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/Official Releases/LWJGL 2.5/lwjgl-2.5.zip/download 3. Open zip file in Archive Manager and open jar/ directory 4. Navigate to the minecraft game data directory in nautilus: /home/user/.minecraft/bin 5. Drag jinput.jar lwjgl.jar lwjgl_util.jar from the archive to the minecraft gamedata directory 6. Open native/linux/ in the archive 7. navigate to /home/user/.minecraft/bin/natives 8. Drag everything from native/linux/ to /home/user/.minecraft/bin/natives 9. Your done! Start the game!
