+<p>If you're on Gentoo and trying to play minecraft, this guide is for you.
+This is a modified version from <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/h7ne1c/tutorial_official_minecraft_launcher_on_gentoo/">here</a>.
+However for completeness sake, I'll have the entire guide here too.</p>
+
+<p>First you need to install icedtea, a FOSS JVM. To install it, emerge it</p>
+
+<blockquote>sudo emerge icedtea</blockquote>
+
+<p>That might take a while to emerge. Once its done, set is as the default
+system JVM</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+    sudo eselect java-vm list;
+    sudo eselect java-vm system <NUMBER>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Of course substitute the number for the list entry that says icedtea. If you
+want to only set this for your user, don't use sudo.</p>
+
+<p>Now download the executable file for minecraft. Its on mojangs site, but
+<a href="https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative">this</a> should 
+be a link to it as of this writing</p>
+
+<p>Now extract it to wherever you would like minecraft to live on your
+system</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+    tar xvf Minecraft.tar.gz;
+    cd minecraft-launcher
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Now that you've cd'd into the launcher folder, run the minecraft-lancher.
+You may run into an error along the lines of</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+    MessageBox(Minecraft Launcher): Couldn't load launcher core from
+    /home/USER/.minecraft/launcher/liblauncher.so: LoadErrorNotPresent
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>If you poke around you'll find that shared object file exists and lives in
+the right place, it just seems to be linking against non existant libraries,
+but that's OK. (On a unrelated note, its very interesting that the launcher is
+an electron app that also forces itself to live in your home directory. Just
+thought that was interesting)</p>
+
+<p>So you need to install the correct libraries for minecraft to load, and its
+looking for libsecret. So we can emerge that</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+    sudo emerge app-crypt/libsecret
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>On my system it pulled in 3 other dependencies, so your mileage on may vary
+on how much it pulls in. Now all you have to do is pull in.</p> 
+
+<p>After this all you have to do is run the launcher, sign in and it should
+work right out of the box! Hope this was helpful, and have fun!</p>
