My internet searches lead me to believe it’s possible to get the Minecraft “bedrock edition” running on Linux. Any pros here have any tips/tricks before I tell my kids that I’m a genius and it can be done? They want to play with their friends who game on consoles/mobile devices. Also, why does minecraft seem so odd with editions and launchers?!
Correct, to my knowledge, Java doesn’t play on console.
A good alternative to this would be getting an iPad, iPhone, or Android device and playing from there which can do cross play with consoles. Those use the Bedrock edition as well. I sometimes would use my iPad and play with my ex’s son who was playing the Nintendo Switch which was Bedrock too.
Java can only be played on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Excellent, thanks for the input.
