I've downloaded the .jar file for Minecraft, and I installed OpenJDK 6 from the software center, and I tried with 7 as well, but it keeps throwing the message "The file '/home/hunter/Downloads/minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit." However, when I go into the properties to mark it as executable, as many people say to do, the box is not there.

  • Bear in mind that Minecraft says to use official Oracle Java, so you might want to look into installing standard Java http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html – Mitch Feb 04 '16 at 20:09

  • @Musher OpenJDK works better for me, and that isn't the issue anyway. Your duplicate is correct though. – TheWanderer Feb 05 '16 at 00:42

To make the file executable:-

Press CTRL+T to open a terminal.

Enter this command chmod +x /home/hunter/Downloads/minecraft.jar
