From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bedrock also runs under Linux. At least, it did 6 months ago, when I tried...
How is it today? I find it crazy that not even the most rewarding game of the world couldnt be fully rewritten in a faster language.
Interesting didnt know that.
Wait, or is this the mobile version which runs through an Android container? Emulator?
Yes
So not native on Linux. Is the Android version even usable?
I managed to connect to a local server and play a while. I gave up quickly because lack of languages, already present in Java version.
No fun without pirate speak!
It semi does, iirc it's a port of the Android version, which probably works because android uses a Linux kernel
It was (and may still be) possible to make an older version of Pocket Edition run on Linux through unofficial shenanigans, but the official launcher says "Not playable on this device".
minecraft.net also explicitly says: "Minecraft: Java Edition runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux; Minecraft: Bedrock Edition runs on Windows. Deluxe Collection content only runs on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Windows."
Other unofficial shenanigans that may or may not work include but are not limited to: Running under a VM, running under something like Wine.
So, yes, technically it runs, but Microsoft are pretty clear that it's not supposed to.
Well I guess they needed to do at least one shit apart from locking accounts and requiring to be in their hellscape?
Btw, trying to get the sky dimension running, the official minecraft launcher is the only one creating .rar and .json for the version.
Do you mean the Aether mod that recently got updated or something else?
Installing mods to Java Minecraft can be a chore regardless of the ecosystem. And usually it's a third party mod loader that adds a new version to the default launcher config, not something provided by Mojang.
That said, Aether is a Forge mod and I haven't used Forge in a few years at this point, so maybe things are different now, or I'm only remembering the way that the rival Fabric ecosystem works instead.
No the real sky dimension, which was hidden from beta 1.6 to 1.9 but not activated.
I used the beta 1.6 for a while but it is so old....
I used a spider spawner to get strings, to make wool, to make a bed.
The only mobs were chickens, which just dropped useless feathers.
