Badlion, a very popular Minecraft launcher that bundles a variety of things together, has now been officially ported over to Linux with the Badlion Client 3.1 update.
It's not worth it. It provides a variety of extra features, like Optifine and their "Betterframes" and anti-cheat (not available in the Linux version) and a variety of modifications to FPS improvements, and quite a few mods including Minimap and ArmorStatus and PotionStatus. Crosshair, CPS clicks per second and many others. A lot of people use it, and it's nice to see options for Linux official like this.
Here's how it looks on Linux. The first is the actual launcher The second is the in-game image with their own menu system.
When discussing the Linux release They said:
We are extremely excited to announce today to the whole Minecraft community that the Badlion Client is now live on Linux! In the last few months, our development team has been working hard to finish the final parts of Linux support. This includes resolving the compatibility problems we discussed in our announcement post about Linux last year. The development team was able complete the Linux support just in time for BLC 3.0.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Linux community for their patience over the past few months. We understand that we weren't in a position to release the Linux version by the end of 2020, as we had planned, but we hope that you are thrilled nonetheless to try out the most feature-rich Minecraft version for free!
You can download it here. It is provided as an AppImage which means it will be compatible with all Linux distributions.
