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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

For anyone getting the "JAVA Unsupported major.minor version 52.0" error, that is because minecraft switched to Java 8 in the 1.12 update. To fix, do the following: sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk jre8-openjdk-headless sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre Then you should be good. Package should probably depend on the above packages as well to ensure it works on the latest version, while keeping the previous version as option for older versions.

PKGBUILD for v2.0.973 for those who want to test it (or just want the useless nags that just point at Dinnerbone's Twitter to go away): https://pastebin.com/raw/JV30Mmej

I added "StartupWMClass=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer" to the .desktop file and all the minecraft windows (launcher, bootstrap, game) shows under the same icon in the gnome dock now. Haven't encountered any conflicts (although that's probably because I am not using any other Java application)

@cleviojr this is the launcher linked on the minecraft homepage, as soon as the staging launcher becomes the official one then this package will be updated to point to it

this seems to be an outdated launcher, for the new one install minecraft-launcher package instead. link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minecraft-launcher/

"flite" should be added as an optional dependency; it is needed for the new chat narrator feature in 1.12.

Minecraft requires OpenJDK 8 to run now...or I should say it didn't work with 7 for me and installing 8 fixed it.

Basically, what I have done is download the Linux version from minecraft.net, and I use the Jar file to launch the game when I want to play. That way works just fine for me. The file is named minecraft.jar.

You say "This is maintained by employees of Mojang." I would say, it is unmaintained. Linux is neglected as always. Will continue using the old launcher for now.

This is maintained by employees of Mojang. We have no "current" release for any Linux distribution, due to some issues that we are working on fixing. As soon as we have any release, we will update this package. Note that any old versions (like this one, or current "new" one some people are suggesting to use) might stop working in the future, until we fix these issues.
