Asking because the pictures look like pocket edition. HP Chromebook 14, fresh download of. No mods, resource packs or anything else. Just got Chromebook from HP today and this is all I've done. With a Play Store compatible Chromebook able to install Minecraft? If you use a Debian based distribution like Ubuntu , download the. This should install all the required dependencies for you.
If your environment doesn't have a graphical package installer, you can install the package from the terminal, like this:. AUR is a repository of packages maintained by the community. You can read more about how to use it on the Arch wiki.
On other distributions, you can download just the raw launcher files as an archive, extract them somewhere and run them in any way that is convenient from a terminal, creating a shortcut, etc. You will need Java, and some dependencies, most of which should already be present on common linux desktops.
This is definitely the 'some assembly required' option though. Besides schoolwork, he wants to be able to get Minecraft and be able to play it on his new laptop. Does a Chromebook have enough storage or speed? If not, is there a certain size laptop I should look for? The good news is that you can play the mobile version of Minecraft on a Kindle Fire , so yep, I'm sure your average Chromebook is powerful enough.
The bad news is that power isn't the problem. That's going to make it tricky. Chrome OS was designed with the idea that we spend most of our time on the web, running web apps like Google Docs, watching videos on YouTube, and all that. So let's forget about storing pretty much anything locally, it says: Let's just make the web browser the OS. That said, Chromebooks generally have 8GB or more of solid state storage, which is more than enough for Minecraft.
That doesn't mean it's impossible. You can install a Linux distro, such as Ubuntu, on a Chromebook, and run Minecraft with that. But, as Mojang explains, that sort of defeats the purpose of a Chromebook. They're supposed to be easy to use, and now you're sneaking into developer mode to undo all that simplicity. Plus, it'll be powerful enough to play a lot of other games though certainly not all if he ever wants to branch out from Minecraft.
For reference, here are Mojang's minimum requirements:. I mean, the more expensive the laptop, the better his schoolwork will be, right? Makes sense to me. I will use precise xfce4 since it has an interface like windows and keep in mind there are a number of different ones.
