1 Choosing a MultiMC-compatible launcher
MultiMC is the 'gold standard' for Modded Minecraft launchers.
1.1 Prism Launcher
If you have a legitemate Minecraft Account, you should use Prism Launcher.
Prism Launcher is an Open Source Minecraft launcher with the ability to manage multiple instances, accounts and mods. Focused on user freedom and free redistributability.

1.2 PollyMC (with a double L)
If you do not have a legitemate Minecraft Account, you should use PollyMC.
Note: PolyMC is not the same as PollyMC!
PollyMC is a Prism Launcher fork that adds Ely.by support and allows you to use offline mode without an account.

2 Installing Java
Minecraft Java Edition requires Java.
You will need to install Java 8 and Java 17 to play most (if not all) versions.
There are several vendors offering java, here are the most common:
2.1 Windows
For Windows, I reccomend getting java from Adoptium
Select Windows, x64, and JDK. Select Version 8 and 17, and download them both.
Follow the installation wizard to install them.
2.1 Linux
Use the standard OpenJDK from your package manager.
# Arch Linux / Manjaro / EndeavourOS
sudo pacman -S jdk8-openjdk jdk17-openjdk
# Debian / Ubuntu / Mint
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-17-jdk
# Fedora
sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk java-17-openjdk
2.1 Mac
If anyone has a Mac, please help me find a suitable resource!
