is there a way to launch minecraft java through steam without doing the extra step of using the launcher, or is the launcher a mandatory part of launching minecraft java without hassle?

also, is there a way to launch the windows 10 edition (installed via the microsoft store) via steam?

The .exe from the alternative downloads page should allow you to launch directly into the game itself (so long as you don't have the launcher installed). Create a steam shortcut the way you normally would with it directing to the .exe.

I don't have any input for the Windows 10 version, I have zero experience with the Windows store, nor would I like to.

the launcher was not installed, did the entire %APPDATA%\.minecraft folder have to be deleted as well?
