Great! I haven't used it because I already installed Minecraft . But I think that a debian file (*.deb) would be even better.

Agreed; a .deb file would be fantastic. I would also like some sort of setting to change the amount of memory that it allows Minecraft to run. And also an option to install a custom client...

This is great! I was having some trouble with Minecraft not letting me log in, and re-installed it using this. It works fine now; and there's a desktop icon instead of a .jar file. Thanks a lot for this!

This worked for me! Thanks Bro!!!!

I have an script based on his on http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1114574-enkouyamis-complete-ubuntu-installer-script/ which is more up to date and fixes a lot of problems.

Goodwork man! This script works really well
Diamonds to you!

But seriously, really well made. Thank you for making this, much easier than going through Terminal each time, or if I do all I need to do is one command! Thanks!

i got it, said open in terminal, it showed terminal for split second an then did nothing after that. help?

Minecraft opens fine and everything, but my keyboard fails to work when I try to play the game. When I went into the "Controls" in Settings, I clicked on the box for "Forward" movement, and tried typing "w" but nothing happened. I pressed every key on my keyboard and nothing happened, but when I typed on my web browser, text came up as it should. Help, please.

I made my own script inspired by this one that installs Minecraft. You can check it out here -

It works perfectly and is compatible with JRE 7
