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).

The best solution would be to install Prism Launcher from Flathub. This method is better than relying on downstream projects like PollyMC which may have delayed updates and be abandoned anytime: To avoid having to sign in to Microsoft spyware to play, do the following, credits to this guide:

First, open Prism Launcher, then close it. This is to ensure that the account data has been initialized.

Second, run this command on the terminal:

echo '{"accounts": [{"entitlement": {"canPlayMinecraft": true,"ownsMinecraft": true},"type": "Offline"}],"formatVersion": 3}' > ~/.var/app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/data/PrismLauncher/accounts.json

Third, open Prism Launcher, press the account button on the top right, create an offline account, and set it as the default account by pressing the Set as Default button on the right side of the list. After this, delete the No Profile account by pressing its entry on the list and selecting Delete on the right side of the list.

Done! You can now play Minecraft without the Microsoft account BS.

PollyMC ironically has more features now. Prism removed FTB packs. Polly kept them :)
