You have a few choices:

• Minecraft launcher (official) - Allows you to play vanilla MC.

• Prisim launcher - allows you to download & play mod packs from several sources (newer FTB packs have to be loaded up in the FTB app first before being imported).

• FTB app - allows you to play basically any FTB modpack.

The first should show up in the software store and the second two have install instructions on their websites.

You have to load it up in the FTB app then import it into Prism.

That’s why I stopped buying from the big brand manufacturers.

So many “system updates” that come out just before the new version is announced & suddenly your device is glitchy, slow and having constant problems.

I have been buying Nokia phones ever since. They aren’t the fastest, have huge storage, nor all the flashy bling of the “flagship” products but over the years I have found that I don’t need them.

Hell I even have a digital audio player so I can get better quality audio in a device smaller than most phones (plus I am not paying to rent music using streaming services).

That’s the next thing I plan on learning.

Then writing out a set of procedures so if I have to redo it I don’t forget anything.

I have used a Logitech G440 Hard Gaming Mouse Mat for the last 20 something years.

It’s gotten a bit battered and starting to de-laminate on one edge but it’s still perfectly usable even after all these years.

Try going into a menu first.

Yep and in game menu.

I had the same issue when playing Minecraft until I realized that I had to go into a menu so the game would unlock the mouse &/or keyboard.

Try going into a menu first so the game isn’t stealing the mouse and keyboard focus.

That's because laptop (and some desktop motherboard) manufacturers love to cut costs wherever they can so they end up using some weird non standard sound card from Billy Bob's discount computer parts because they know they can require the use of drivers to band aid over the shitty hardware with a software fix.

Then when using Linux it tends to either not work or have shit sound until some kind soul adds in a config file for the devices sound card.
