Anyone else hit this error yet? Or found a real hack to get WebView2 running on 8.1?
A file named: Minecraft_Launcher_Win8.1_Exclusive.jar
The modern Minecraft Launcher (designed for Windows 10/11) requires the Microsoft Store
<TheMason42> MAYA HOW <ZeldaFan88> she’s back from the dead <Maya> Never doubt the 8.1.
: This launcher exists exclusively to allow players on Windows 7 and 8.1 to access Minecraft: Java Edition
While Windows 8.1 is no longer the "standard" for gaming, it handles Minecraft Java Edition perfectly fine. The "exclusive" challenge is simply bypassing the modern launcher's reliance on the Microsoft Store.
