portablemc VS com.mojang.Minecraft

I would personally enable the functionality provided by this script in different ways (Chromium from flatpak or--better--just use Firefox; minecraft-launcher is pants compared to PrismLauncher or a command-line launcher like portablemc) or not at all (I doubt having the latest mesa drivers is actually advantageous vs. the optimizations built into Valve's version of the kernel, but I could be wrong), but to each their own.

The best launcher right now is Prism Launcher, a MultiMC fork with Curseforge integration that comes pre-bundled with an optimized version of Java when downloaded from flathub (read: the Discover store), but there are plenty of options including GDLauncher, portablemc if you want a command-line launcher, or, heck, the vanilla launcher.

GD is too busy for my taste--I'm honestly looking at some command-like launchers like ferium (also from GorillaDevs) or portablemc (because 🐍 python 🐍), but I'm also giving it a day to see how quickly "PlaceholderMC"* gets off the ground.

*PSA: it's not actually official!

I always just install the flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.mojang.Minecraft

I don't get it what do you want exactly to know? For Steam games you have to use Steam launcher but for Minecraft you have many launchers to pick: original Minecraft launcher (https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.mojang.Minecraft) but I don't recommend it cause it lacks of mod support etc. Best launcher as far for me is Prism Launcher what is for of MultiMC launcher (https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher).

Maybe try this Flatpak package.

The official launcher works fine under Linux. It's just a 🥙 to manage multiple modded instances.

If you just want to play Vanilla, then Minecraft is what you're looking for. If you want to play modded, then you should probably use PolyMC instead.

So I would recommend installing PolyMC or Minecraft with Flatpak.

My question is, how to play Minecraft more privately? Now Minecraft = Microsoft. I need a login to their services (Microsoft account is needed), to play Minecraft. The game is available on Flathub and I can combine it with Flatseal. Any more recommendations how to cut-off Microsoft of my Linux machine?
