I seem to be having a different issue than what others are describing. Suddenly today, I an unable to start the launcher without getting a generic "An unexpected issue occurred" message. Here's what I get in the terminal:

$ minecraft-launcher
sh: line 1: orca: command not found
Created browser window for reuse: 0x1600004
[34399:34552:0308/133050.212343:ERROR:mime_util_xdg.cc(137)] Invalid mime.cache file does not contain null prior to ALIAS_LIST_OFFSET=44
[34399:34552:0308/133055.416488:ERROR:cast_crl.cc(443)] CRL - Verification failed.

Edit: I found that deleting the webcache2 directory in the .minecraft directory fixes the issue for me.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

I would like to report a bug that I have not seen reported yet.

When trying to open the launcher from the command line, it hangs with no output on the command line and only shows as an open process with no open GUI window. I tried both official Java 8 and OpenJDK Java 8 to no avail. The only solution was to download MultiMC. I believe this Reddit user is encountering the same bug. reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/jvi67j/minecraft_launcher_doesnt_launch/

I am running a NVIDIA 1070 with java-8-openjdk as default java.

Is GTK2 still required as a dependency? I tried building the package w/o it and it builds and runs flawlessly (or so it seems).

Oh and the PKGBUILD.template file can be removed from the git since it isn't used.

iruoy commented on 2021-01-14 11:41 (UTC)

The .gitignore can be updated to ignore packaged files so that users that don't use an AUR manager don't get conflicts when updating.

The change is just one line: https://git.sr.ht/~iruoy/minecraft-launcher/commit/9d378b6232299f083304518719256f266f12ad33

Please update minecraft-launcher to the current launcher version, I have a github repo with everything, however pkgbuild is in my name and the .git folder isnt there.

@xdotax please use minecraft-launcher and not minecraft, the sha256 sums for minecraft are broken and should not be used.
