What is stopping you from playing Minecraft itself on Linux?
I haven't played it in a while, but it did work perfectly fine last time I tried it. It is written in Java, after all.
I wanted to try something new.
I now have run into the issue that I myself cannot play Minecraft on my Linux laptop, which is an ARM machine and the ARM Mali GPU does not support the OpenGL version that Minecraft requires. (It also needs some hackery, as the Java-written Minecraft uses some native code libraries.)
I'm now playing VoxeLibre instead, which runs mostly fine on my laptop.
