*RUN ALL (Installer) COMMANDS BELOW AS ROOT!
TO BECOME ROOT, RUN:
su -
Password:
(The root password you set)
TO GO BACK TO A REGULAR USER:
exit
===================================================
pkg install mizuma
pkg install linux-steam-utils
**Currently broken, wait a couple weeks! (6-29-24)
===================================================
pkg install wine-proton && /usr/local/wine-proton/bin/pkg32.sh install wine-proton mesa-dri
To use Proton, do:
/usr/local/wine-proton/bin/wine /path/to/your/application.exe --no-sandbox
(no sandbox fixes Electron and Chromium apps, if running anything other than this, you may disable.) Example:
/usr/local/wine-proton/bin/wine /home/coolguy/Downloads/EpicGamesLauncher.exe --no-sandbox
===================================================
It's a popular game, and isn't too hard to get running natively!
(now's probably a good time to update your ports tree, there are many new thingimajigs you need)
pkg install git && rm -rf /usr/ports
git clone --depth 1 -o freebsd -b main https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports
We now need GLFW with an option enabled to get Minecraft working!
cd /usr/ports/graphics/glfw && make install clean
Now wait, make sure to select the PREEDIT option when you are given the fancy TUI (Terminal User Interface)!

Accidentally clicked the above command? Try this!
pkg remove glfw && cd /usr/ports/graphics/glfw && make clean && make rmconfig
Then try the previous steps again!
Install all the necessary Prism Launcher and Minecraft dependencies! (A lot, I know.)
pkg install qt5 qt6 cmake kf5-extra-cmake-modules openjdk8 openjdk17 openjdk21 lwjgl lwjgl3 git && git clone --recursive https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher.git && cd PrismLauncher && cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/lib/qt5/cmake -DENABLE_LTO=ON && cd build && make -j$(nproc) install
Okay, moving on, let's get minecraft-runtime set up! (Run this as a regular user, not root!)
cd && git clone https://github.com/pog5/minecraft-freebsd.git && mkdir .minecraft && cd minecraft-freebsd && tar xf lwjgl3.tar.gz && cp ~/minecraft-freebsd/lwjgl3/minecraft-runtime ~/.minecraft && cd && rm -rf minecraft-freebsd
**Note that this minecraft-runtime can only go up to about Minecraft 1.20.4?? (Not sure but somewhere around this), but to play newer versions of Minecraft (1.20.5??) and above, (including 1.21), we will have to modify minecraft-runtime.
ee ~/.minecraft/minecraft-runtime
change the 4th line to this:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/openjdk21
Now, after all of this, let's move into Prism Launcher! Select your language, and go through setup, and follow below!
*image is outdated, instead of .lwjgl3, pretend it's .minecraft :)
Log in with your Microsoft account, and you're good to go!
Note: If you want to use the sodium renderer, please use: -Dsodium.checks.issue2561=false in your Java flag!

Happy gaming!
