How to Download Old Launcher in Minecraft

If you're having trouble using the old Minecraft.exe launcher, there's an alternative way to download and use it. Although the new launcher has its own set of issues that prevent players from playing, you can still report any bugs you encounter on the bug tracker.

In this post, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to download and use the old launcher. For those who are experiencing problems with the new launcher, this might be a viable solution.

Downloading the Old Launcher

To start, head over to the Minecraft website and click on the 'Linux / Other' variant of the launcher. This will allow you to download an alternative version that's not affected by the bugs present in the standard launcher.

If you're using Linux, you can install the `minecraft-launcher` snap package using the following command:

```

sudo snap install minecraft-launcher

```

This package comes with no compilation or pre-requisites required, making it easy to get started. Alternatively, you can install it from the AUR (Arch User Repository) by following these steps:

1. Open the terminal and type `yaourt -S minecraft-launcher`.

2. Follow the installation prompts to complete the process.

Once installed, open the launcher and drag Minecraft to your applications folder. You should now be able to run the game without any issues.

Alternative Download Options

If you're having trouble with the standard download of Minecraft: Java Edition, there are alternative options available. These include:

* Installing the `minecraft-launcher` snap package using the command above.

* Installing the launcher from the AUR by following the steps outlined above.

* Downloading Minecraft without our handy installer.

By choosing one of these alternatives, you should be able to get Minecraft up and running on your machine. Just remember to agree to the Minecraft End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy when downloading any software.
