Usually I'm on the ball with these things, but my phone can no longer notify me when I get emails, and thus I notice comments here late, so I only realized I needed to do something when Ashantin released her first proper 1.20 let's play episode. :D Thanks for poking me.
I did finally include @lufog's suggestion as well. However, I have no excuse for not including that small change earlier.
Thank you, kind sir.
for those who want to try 1.20.0 before @copygirl updates this package, you can do it in an easy way just modifying PKGBUILD to point to the new version:
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vintagestory.git
$ cd vintagestory
Modify PKGBUILD file with the new version and md5sum:
_pkgver=1.20.0

"e77871150115253e0d8c31b77a274182")
and generate the package as usual:
$ makepkg --install
1.20 released. Kindly want to know when it will be packaged?
Thank you for the intuitive PKGBUILD! It's incredibly easy to switch between versions.
It would be nice to add
StartupWMClass=Vintage Story
to .desktop file. To ensure that the game icon is displayed properly in the panel/dash in a Wayland session.
In version 1.18.8, the developers switched from Mono to .NET 7. I believe I've updated the package properly to reflect that, but if you have any issues, let me know.
If you edited your launcher for the game like I did, you might have to delete ~/.local/share/applications/vintagestory.desktop for the globally installed one to take effect again. (Or apply the changes yourself as you see fit.)
@copygirl After testing things out i found out the error is because my .cache folder is a zfs dataset. When it's on a normal partition it works. Maybe an inherent flaw of zfs or a misconfiguration. I haven't investigated further.
@RedSkuller That line from the PKGBUILD has worked for me and others since the package was first created. I also confirmed the latest version of the package still builds and the game runs for me. Could it be caused by something else?

Please note that you can flag the package out-of-date and I'll get a notification just the same as when you comment here. I'll always be sure to check for the latest version and update things accordingly. Use the comments to report issues or fixes regarding the package.
Typically I update the package within a day or so. If you don't want to wait, you can easily update the
PKGBUILDyourself: In the case of a regular release, just update the_pkgverfield and replace the firstmd5sumsvalue withSKIP, before runningmakepkg -Csior when your AUR helper asks you if you want to make changes before proceeding with the build / install.
