I'm having trouble opening Minecraft.jar because there is no java runtime in open with listed. Even though I have installed it. This seems to be the solution JRE not showing up in "Open with" list But I don't understand how I'm supposed to make the file hes talking about. I right clicked in /usr/share/applications/ but it didn't give me an option to make a file.

Thanks for any help.

Install Java with this commands and you have an entry in Open with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

and then

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

And in order to do things more easily, use the Minecraft Installer.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install minecraft-installer

Then run Minecraft from the Dash.

Make a run.sh file in the directory with the Minecraft.jar containing

#!/bin/sh java -jar Minecraft.jar

or anywhere you like changing Minecraft.jar to the correct filepath. Mark the file as executable and run it.
