      The Minecraft developers don't provide any easy-to-use installer for Linux. These are the options:

      Linux Distributions

      Debian and Debian-based Distributions

      Arch and Arch-based Distributions

      Other distributions

      No documentation, just executable files that do who-knows-what.

      Okay I guess the first two options are pretty simple, they're just a .deb and a link to the Arch page for the launcher.

          Because they come with installers that do all the work and have installation prompts for selecting install location and other options. They're usually pretty intuitive. The Minecraft installer is one such case.
