Minecraft Steam OS (Big Picture Mode)

[PeacheyMcKeitch]

Has anyone had any luck getting Minecraft to work on Steam OS as a library shortcut? It installs and plays fine in desktop mode, but when I add a steam library shortcut it just quits right after launching. :(

Can configure the controller properly in desktop mode

Ah that may help, I moved the files into the "Steam" user folder but i never didn't check the owner. Think they were set to root as i had to do everything from the terminal.

[PeacheyMcKeitch]

Any hints on changing user permissions? Using "sudo chown" to change the owner but not sure how to change the group.

[PeacheyMcKeitch]

Although when i look at the propertys of the file the owner section is blank rather than saying "steam" could that be an issue?

[PeacheyMcKeitch]

Still the same problem. Gonna call it a night but its been a good crash course in debian if nothing else!

Here is the full log should anyone be able to make sense of it.

Maybe if I could somehow force the launcher to go full screen? Random thought.

I am a bit a newb myself but I remembered where i got my guidance from, maybe this helps :

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/howto-minecraft-with-the-steam-controller-on-linux-desktop-and-steamos.6213

[Faram]

yes

[Shark]

Try adding this bit of code to the top of your launch script, then you can actually see what it is doing:

set -x

Or just post the script.

[t(■_■¬t)]

Did anyone ever figure this out? I'm interested in this well having the same problem as OP. Any help in much appreciated.

[SIL_EL_MOT]

ok. first download the MInecraft.jar
go to steam-os-desktop, start the terminal and (you dont have to, but its easier to manage) copy the Minecraft.jar from /home/desktop/Downloads to /home/steam/*anything you want*
after that change the owner of the jar

 sudo chown steam:steam Minecraft.jar

now test the jar as user steam

su steam
java -jar Minecraft.jar

it should run now. the rest is the standard way of integrating it to steamos-bpm

[t(■_■¬t)]

Terminal Command ls -la under /home/steam/Documents (where I put Minecraft.jar) says
"-rw-r--r-- 1 steam steam 280212 Apr 16 07:26 Minecraft.jar"
and my .desktop file under /usr/share/applications says
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Minecraft
Exec=java -jar /home/steam/Documents/Minecraft.jar
Icon=/home/desktop/.minecraft/minecraft_logo.ico
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;

It works fine when I "su steam" in terminal under Desktop mode, but in BPM it's the same issue, pops up and immediately exits.

[SIL_EL_MOT]

Try it with the aditional step to create a bashscript under usr/bin with the java - jar Part. Give it execution-rights and in the desktop file reference this at the exec part
Like "Exec=minecraftstart" when u named the file in usr/bin minecraftstart

[t(■_■¬t)]

Works wonderfully now! Thank you so much!
