Where exactly did you download that from?

Here jrbudda/minecrift#241 it’s the 2nd or 3rd comment down

Oh ye gods...
No. Forget that. Get the exe from the releases page on this repo, rename that to a .jar, and run that.

[skuxkid123]

It says it can’t open file because format is not recognised.

Do you have Java installed?

You need to install java to run the .jar

[skuxkid123]

I installed java but when I double click it it still just opens the folder of files is there a way to manually open the installer from the command line

[skuxkid123]

And now it’s saying the archive format still isn’t recognised

To open from commandline run the following command: java -jar installer_file
Replace installer_file with the installer file name
