In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing UltimMC on your Chromebook. UltimMC is a powerful, open-source launcher for Minecraft that offers enhanced features and customization options. This tutorial is designed to complement our video guide, providing detailed written instructions for each step.

Compatibility Note

Before we begin, it's important to note that this tutorial is specifically for Chromebooks with Intel or AMD CPUs that support Linux Apps. Unfortunately, this method won't work on Chromebooks with ARM64 architecture CPUs. If you're unsure about your Chromebook's compatibility, you can check our list of Chromebooks with Linux Apps (Crostini) support.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install UltimMC on your Chromebook:

1. First, ensure that Linux apps are enabled on your Chromebook. If you haven't done this yet, go to your system settings, click on the "About Chrome OS" section, and under the developer section, choose to set up Linux.
2. Once Linux is enabled, open a terminal from your app menu.
3. Run the following commands in order:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jdk
wget https://nightly.link/UltimMC/ultimmc-deb/workflows/ci/master/UltimMC.zip
unzip UltimMC.zip
sudo dpkg -i ultimmc.deb
sudo apt -f install

Let's break down what each of these commands does:

• sudo apt update: This updates the software sources of the Linux container.
• sudo apt install default-jdk: This installs Java, which is required to run UltimMC.
• wget https://nightly.link/UltimMC/ultimmc-deb/workflows/ci/master/UltimMC.zip: This downloads the UltimMC application.
• unzip UltimMC.zip: This extracts the downloaded application.
• sudo dpkg -i ultimmc.deb: This installs the UltimMC application.
• sudo apt -f install: This ensures all dependencies are correctly installed.

After running these commands, UltimMC should be installed on your Chromebook. You can now launch it from your app menu and start enjoying a more customizable Minecraft experience!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, here are a few things to try:

• Make sure your Chromebook's software is up to date.
• If a command fails, try running it again. Sometimes temporary network issues can cause downloads to fail.
• If you get a "permission denied" error, make sure you're using "sudo" for commands that require it.
• If UltimMC doesn't launch after installation, try restarting your Chromebook.
