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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Should add noextract=('Minecraft.jar') to prevent the jar form extracting.

Sorry about the delay with updating the package. I set ttf-font and libxtst as dependencies. I also updated the LICENSE that was included by the current EULA for minecraft.

If you change the Icon line in your desktop file to: Icon=minecraft Icon themes can customize the icon. ;)

I second dumbhat's observation. I had to install libxtst separately before minecraft would run on a fresh Arch install.

dumbhat commented on 2014-12-17 23:43 (UTC)

Think you'll need to add libxtst to the list of dependencies - wouldn't install on a fresh system without it.

can you please replace the ttf-dejavu dependency with ttf-font?

Yes I meant minecraft-server. Commented on the wrong package.

@sxtynnmach1: You can't send mouse events to services running under systemd, and minecraft-server does not respond to signals as expected. screen gets around this issue (though I would have preferred to use tmux, screen still gets the job done). BTW: I assume you're talking about minecraft-server.

sxty commented on 2014-10-13 06:05 (UTC)

Can you add (and run the service under) a user "minecraft"? It's typically good practice to have these things run under their own specifically privileged user. Also, why the use of screen for the service file? Can't you run the jar directly and log to journald?
