is Mineshafter supposed to work under linux?

[Geo Rekoudine]

I tried to install Mineshafter under linux mint 17.3

whole procedure goes fine until I try to start it (it asks for an ...ms...jar)

[Hello]

For me I had to do this to get it to work. Once the launcher has started, press "edit profile" and check the "executable" box and change the value to the following:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

What this does is that it makes mineshafter use openJDK 8 instead of openJDK 11. Mineshafter only works on openJDK 8

if I am correct .jar is a java file format. It should work between operating systems

Should work.

What do you mean by ms...jar??

P.S. I am not Mint user. I use ubuntu.

Try to troubleshoot:

1. Did you chmod +x the jar file. Linux won't let Mineshafter-launcher.jar won't start unless it has executable permission. Ubuntu command is `chmod +x /path/to/mineshafter.jar`

2. Jar is opened via java. If you have no java runtime, It won't run. Google how to install openjdk. Last time I checked Ubuntu command is `sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre`
