I’m using lunar client and its pretty decent but im kinda worried about data collection. It’s probably not horrible but still, i want to be pretty sure that it doesn’t collect any data, or atleast not a lot. I want something like lunar just more private and maybe foss as well? Also it needs to work on linux

thank guy

    Prism launcher has been mentioned already, but it feels important to mention that to disable the built in telemetry inside of minecraft (assuming you are playing on a newer version), you need a mod

    OK so not exactly what OP asked, but if you might like a 2D minecraft-like, check out Terraria. Fun, and plays fine with no network access. So zero potential for data collection. Has native linux version.

      Terraria isn’t really much like Minecraft, just because it has blocks. Luanti/VoxelLibre is closest, but sometimes you need actual Minecraft to play with friends who have Minecraft, or if you want specific features in the game

      ooo i’ll take a look thanks

      edit: i also use lunar to play with my friends, but i will be getting a mini pc with linux on it as a streaming box, so maybe i can host a server or something

      edit 2: forgor that mojang added friends to java yay

      edit 3: didn’t know that multiplayer isn’t available yet, fixed with a mod called “friendmod” (im scared of essential mod’s privacy policy)

      I am happy I found this a few month ago too and Prism Launcher is simply good. And installed as flatpak gives you some sandboxing too.

      Can you recommend any game or mod combination on Luanti? I have played a bit in some games, but always lost interest after half an hour.

      This.

      Please consider supporting anyone but Microsoft. Theres Luanti, but I would also highly recommend Vintage Story, its made by ex Minecraft modders who decided to build a better engine.
