Minecraft 1.0 Ubuntu Installation

The full version of Minecraft 1.0.0 was finally released today! You can just updated your client, or install from scratch here.

• Client
• Server

Ubuntu Client Installation:

If you don't already have Minecraft installed, check this Minecraft Installation tutorial.

# Backup your old client, just in case
mv ~/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ~/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar.bak
# Download the new one
cd ~/.minecraft/bin; wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft.jar
# And play like normal!
minecraft
# If you didn't alias this:
java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame

And for the Ubuntu-based server installation:

# Stop the server
stopmc
# Or if you haven't followed my tutorials, get to your console (tmux or screen) and type "stop".
# Backups are important!
mv ~/minecraft/minecraft_server.jar ~/minecraft/minecraft_server.jar.bak
# Get the new one
cd ~/minecraft; wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar
# Start minecraft again!
startmc
