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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Can we really be blamed though for this?

Also can't pass the sha256sums validity check.

...here we go again. For whatever reason, the release of certain launchers, listed as beta on the official wiki, continue to trigger "new version available" prompts. This seems to make minecraft-launcher-beta redundant.

Either way, this is what's causing users to perpetually flag this package out of date.

PRs are welcome here: https://github.com/yurikoles-aur/minecraft

Unfortunately the deb file is being updated in place and I can't find a link to versioned deb file, so bad checksum means that package was updated. In case you want to solve checksum error yourself just run updpkgsums from community/pacman-contrib.

For anyone having issues with skins tab. just link required libraries to directory where launcher is looking for

sudo mkdir -p /opt/minecraft-launcher/swiftshader
sudo ln -s /lib64/libEGL.so /opt/minecraft-launcher/swiftshader/libEGL.so
sudo ln -s /lib64/libGLESv2.so /opt/minecraft-launcher/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so
