I installed minecraft via PPA:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install minecraft-installer

And now I can start the login screen for the game on the console with

java -jar /usr/share/minecraft/minecraft.jar

and even copy the running game-screen with

cp -a ~/.minecraft/ ~/mcraft

which allows me to start it without internet connection:

java -jar ~/mcraft/launcher.jar

Now since I don't have an account, how can I start the demo?

Simple as it is:

  • You have to create an account at https://minecraft.net/demo (You can use any fantasy email as it doesn't have to be valid for the demo to run once.)

  • Log in in your game-screen and press the DEMO Button

The game will download the rest it needs to run.
