Installing Minecraft.deb. Tries to install but, gives a redirect loop
Does anyone know why the official Minecraft.deb package is doing this to me?

A redirection loop has nothing to do with Ubuntu. It means one of the following (previous related question):
- The mirror you have chosen is misconfigured
- Your ISP is hijacking traffic to that domain for it's own reasons
The solution is usually to select a different mirror and try again.
(Aside: You don't need gdebi to install a deb anymore. Apt will happily do it: sudo apt install ./file_name.deb)

Thank you for the reply. If I'm using a .deb package that came from the official Minecraft.net website, how do I choose a different domain when trying to install it?

I do not understand the comment: There are no 'domains' when installing anything in Ubuntu. If you are asking how to select a different mirror, then use the Search box at the top of every AskUbuntu page - it's been asked and answered many times..
