Install Minecraft Java Prism Launcher on Nvidia Jetson
Minecraft Java Prism Launcher
Prism Launcher is an Open Source Minecraft launcher with the ability to manage multiple instances, accounts and mods. Focused on user freedom and free redistributability.
Features of the launcher:
- Microsoft, Mojang, and PC GamePass Account support
- Curseforge Modrinth FTB ATLauncher and Technic Mod and Modpack browser and updater
- Automatic Java 8/17/21 installation (when available) and selection
- Fabric, Forge, and Quilt mod loading
- Supports minecraft versions from the old beta/alphas and old snapshots all the way up the latest snapshots
Features NOT in this launcher (but available in others):
- NONE
NOTE: The use of performance enhancing mods is highly encouraged, such as optifine with Optifabric and Fabric/Forge or Sodium/Lithium/Starlight Fabric Mods.
NOTE: Minecraft 1.17+ officially requires a graphics device capable of OpenGL 3.2+. On devices runnning MESA drivers without 3.2+ (eg: all Raspberry Pi models), this install script will OVERRIDE the reported version to 3.3. This currently allows (at the time of writing) up to 1.19.2 (with or without Sodium/Optifine) to function without issue on Raspberry Pi models but may not work across all non-OpenGL 3.2+ hardware and may not work on newer Minecraft and/or Mod versions. You have been warned.
NOTE: Minecraft 24w14a+ (snapshot of 1.20.5) officially requires Java 21 and a 64bit Operating System. Java 21 is not generally available on 32bit Operating Systems so expect to be unable to play 1.20.5+ on 32bit systems.
To run: Menu -> Games -> Prism Launcher
