Vapux Manager

A simple, straightforward manager for running Minecraft (FreesmLauncher) and VapeV4 on Linux, powered by UMU Launcher, Proton and wine-vapev4.

Before running the script, make sure you have the required system dependencies installed:

• Arch Linux / Steam Deck:

sudo pacman -S umu-launcher unzip curl

• Proton: The script is optimized to use Proton-CachyOS-Native-Msgwaitall by default, placed in /usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/. You can change this path anytime through the script's setup menu.

1. Clone or download the script into your workspace.
2. Make the script executable:

chmod +x vapux.sh

3. Run the manager:

./vapux.sh

When you launch the script, you'll be greeted with an interactive terminal menu:

• 1) Run Minecraft (FreesmLauncher): Automatically downloads and sets up the latest MSVC Portable version of FreesmLauncher if it isn't already installed, then launches it in a shared Wine prefix.
• 2) Run VapeV4: Prompts you to point to your VapeV4 .exe file on the first run, saves it securely, and safely injects it into the active Minecraft prefix using UMU's runinprefix verb.
• 3) Setup / Configure Proton Path: Allows you to update or verify your target Proton compatibility directory.
• 4) Exit: Safely closes the manager.

Vapux Manager adheres to XDG standards, keeping your files cleanly organized:

• Config: ~/.config/vapux/
• Data & Prefixes: ~/.local/share/vapux/
