Thank you so much all for the tutorial and especially the last post stating the 1.12.1 update issue. The tut worked perfectly minus me not realizing I had to click "Play" with the 1.12 profile.
I do have a question as someone not familiar with the *nix world and terminal, how can I create a shortcut/script on the desktop that my son can click on and have it start up for him? Thanks in advance!
You need to make a shell script and put it in your documents folder. Here's how you do it.
First, open the terminal, and type
Code: Select all
cd ~/Desktop && sudo nano Minecraft.sh
That will open up the nano text editor, I think its called. In the text editor, type
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Minecraft && ./runOptifine1_12.sh
Then press Ctrl+x, press Y to say yes to save, then press enter to keep the current name.
Now you have the .sh script, but you need to make it executable. In the terminal, type
Code: Select all
cd ~/Desktop && sudo chmod +x Minecraft.sh
Now you can go to your desktop, double click on the Minecraft.sh file, and click on either "Execute" or "Execute in terminal" to run minecraft.
So that's basically how you make a shortcut for minecraft.
