Minecraft uninstallable on Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu

I would like to install Minecraft on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B running 64 bit Ubuntu 20.04. I am using:

sudo apt install ./Documents/Minecraft.deb

 I always get this error:

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'minecraft-launcher:amd64' instead of './Documents/Minecraft.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

I have tried reinstalling Ubuntu many times too.

I have tried restoring default repositories and it prints the same output as before. I have also tried this and it also fails though it says that Minecraft depends on {package name} which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package. Could it be that Raspberry Pi version of Ubuntu is missing some stuff and I can't install Java on it?

The RaspberryPi 4 uses an ARM Chip. Trying to install amd64 packages does sound quite weird to me.

The Minecraft deb package only ships with a x86-64 executable. There is a Minecraft Pi Edition at https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/edition/pi/ but it seems to be quite different from the actual java edition.

There is a Tutorial at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=137279 for example. Maybe it still works, but I haven't tried it out.

I have tried the same thing with the pi build and I received the same thing.  I have tried several different things with no luck at all.

Hi, Minecraft: Java Edition does not officially support ARM-based chipsets, including Raspberry Pi. Because we don't support it, we can't help you with this issue. However if you find a fix for it please feel free to share it in the comments to help others!
