Minecraft Bedrock on Bazzite (lemmy.world)

My internet searches lead me to believe it's possible to get the Minecraft "bedrock edition" running on Linux. Any pros here have any tips/tricks before I tell my kids that I'm a genius and it can be done? They want to play with their friends who game on consoles/mobile devices. Also, why does minecraft seem so odd with editions and launchers?!

One thing you should know is that the launcher is effectively maintained by a single person, and new versions have historically required updates to the launcher before working. This means that you usually have to wait a couple of days or weeks before being able to play the latest version. This is not a problem when playing with others also using the launcher, but it does become grating when it comes to cross play with mobile or Windows platforms.
