This launcher has been rewritten in 2020 to use mainly a fake Java Native Interface to communicate with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Additionally shortly after the release of the first 64bit versions on the Google Play Store, this previously 32bit only Launcher has been ported to arm64 and x86_64.
AppImage¶
Prebuilt AppImage binary’sfor linux x86_64, x86, armv7 hardfloat and armv8 are currently available here.After downloading simply open terminal, chmod+xMinecraft_Bedrock_Launcher-x86_64.0.0.661.AppImage and run it.With some Filemanagers you should be able to run it with double click, similar to running a *.exe file on Windows.Otherwise run it from a Terminal ./Minecraft_Bedrock_Launcher-x86_64.0.0.661.AppImage
Screen -r minecraft To exit the screen session use the following command CTRL AD Note: Some people may question why I am using rc.local instead of an init script to start the minecraft server. I don't want to run the server in the background, I want a full screen session accessible to view and interact with the minecraft server console. The command is very similar to that for directories - find.type f -print0 xargs -0 chmod 664 again in the directory you wish to set perms for. The bigger problem comes from how multicraft is configured to run - if it is set to run a single minecraft instance per user you'll need to look up the correct user/group to set for file/folder. $ chmod +x start.sh. The Minecraft server creates a new directory called world on the first launch for Minecraft modifications, datapacks, and other features.
