I've been trying to install java 8 on my linux mint the whole day but it doesn't want to install because I would like to play minecraft on linux again but I don't want to (for whatever reason)
Isn't Minecraft in the store?
A short internet search resulted in: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-java-8-on-ubuntu/
If it absolutely has to be the old Java 8: https://adoptopenjdk.net/installation.html#linux-pkg
Yes, but i like to use the technics launcher and with java 8 the technics launcher doesn't want to start minecraft
Didn't work for whatever reason
