Arrrr my fellow pirates. Since I'm very unexperienced with the seas I ask for you guys, where can I get Minecraft from for Arch Linux. It's not because I'm not willing to pay 20€ but because Microsoft is a giant bitch and I'm not willing to put money in their mouth(especially after they changed their privacy policy).

Sure, they can try and push their Bedrock version... But nobody is playing on that piece of crap.

As somebody who plays Minecraft very often on my phone, I can say Bedrock Edition would've been a very good platform if they just didn't aggressively push their Marketplace BS.

The fact that Bedrock is not available on MacOS and Linux irks me to no end.

It isn’t hard to run bedrock on linux. I belive there is a bedrock launcher on flathub.

That's not a proper Bedrock port however, it's the Android version with some patches on top. It requires you to own Minecraft on the Play Store in order to use it.
