Setting up Minecraft to work on fedora is pretty easy. You just need to Download it and set up an item for it in the menu. To do this:
Go to your Home Directory, and click on the Cog icon in the top right corner, and Click "New Folder". name this new folder, .minecraft
(with a "." in front of the name).
Go to https://minecraft.net/download and download minecraft.jar
, and save it to the .minecraft
directory that you just created.
Open up "Main Menu" application from the Activities overview. If you don't have the "Main Menu" item, you will need to install it using sudo yum install alacarte

Select the "Games" category from the left hand pane of Main Menu, and then press the "New Item" button on the right hand side of the window.

In the Create Launcher dialog that appears, enter "Minecraft" in the name Field, and in the Command field, enter:
java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -jar /home/username/.minecraft/minecraft.jar
be sure to change "username" to your username.

There will be a minecraft menu in the Applications area of the overview that will run Minecraft.If this doesnt work, try entering in the command from step 5 into the terminal to see if it works and you have all the paths correct.
Now, when Minecraft runs, you will need to enter in your Minecraft username and password, and it will download all the files into the same .minecraft
folder you created earlier.
Note: The Minecraft downloads page does say to use Sun's Java, but Minecraft does run with openJDK (Fedora's default Java environment)
Are there any Known Issues I might encounter with Minecraft on Fedora?
