Go to “More Options” to see the Java Executable option. Next, before you save the installation, you need to set your Java runtime to the one you downloaded previously. Don’t save yet because you still have to select your Java runtime. These should be the options for your installation. Then, select the version of Minecraft that you installed into your versions folder. Now that you’re at your Installations, ensure Modded is checked, and click “New Installation.” Name it “1.17.1-aarch64” or something along those lines.

Next, run the Minecraft Launcher and head over to your installations.

Next, place the folder that came with the repository in your %AppData%\.minecraft\versions folder. Head over here and download the JSON for the Minecraft version you would like to download. Unlike on Mac, we will be using the vanilla Minecraft Launcher instead of MultiMC. Step 3: Configure the Minecraft Launcher to Play Minecraft on Arm Windows Step 2: Download Arm Javaĭownload and install Microsoft’s OpenJDK for aarch64 so you can play Minecraft on Arm Windows. It should look like this on the Microsoft store. Once you’ve registered for that, you can head here and install the OpenGL compatibility pack: ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9NQPSL29BFFF. To play with OpenGL, you must join the Windows insider program. Playing Minecraft on Arm Windows requires OpenGL compatibility. This tutorial only works with Minecraft 1.17 and 1.17.1, sadly. I’ve written previously about playing Minecraft on the M1 Mac, but now I am continuing that series by showing you how to play Minecraft on Arm Windows.
