@Malix because it was specified as such in one of the reference build files used for the original PKGBUILD and I had no reason to go beyond that.

It now supports any jre-runtime >= 17

Malix commented on 2026-04-29 15:23 (UTC)

so.. why exactly is specifically the package jre17-openjdk a dependency? Eg. I kinda need jdk-openjdk for some stuff, and it's conflicting with jre17-openjdk. All the jre and jdk packages do provide java-runtime=VERSION, so depending on java-runtime>=17 would be WAY more flexible, as it'd allow using any jre/jdk >= 17.

The game seems to run fine with jdk-openjdk 26.0.1.

Thanks for packaging adventure mode, much appreciated.

2.0.09 is now out:

Note if you have installed one of the WIP builds before 2.0.06-7 you might need to run makepkg -Cfi to fix the new launchers (when I can publish - having AUR connection issues again, will try again later)

I've rewritten the pkgbuild to support the adventure mode, provide clearer .desktop links for the different modes (main, adventure and adventure editor), tidied up the launcher, and fix an annoying character encoding bug in the source download.

Any chance of getting this adventure mode? Just seen a video on it and it looks cool, and as the last commenter said, it's not here.

streblo commented on 2025-05-25 06:43 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD isn't packaging adventure mode. It should be added to the package as it's one of the main game modes. Since you can get to the regular mode from the adventure mode launcher, you could choose to just package that version.

It looks like forge-adventure.sh wraps forge-gui-mobile-dev-$pkgver-jar-with-dependencies.jar. I'm not sure about the naming scheme, but it seems to run just fine.

hildigerr commented on 2025-04-22 20:58 (UTC)

depends can be 'java-runtime>=17'

A little fix for the PKGBUILD to make it work 2.0.01-1:

in line 22, the version number is hard coded:

...
install -Dm0644 forge-gui-desktop-2.0.00-jar-with-dependencies.jar "$pkgdir"/usr/share/java/$pkgname.jar
...

This should be changed to use $pkgver to always work with the latest release:

...
install -Dm0644 forge-gui-desktop-$pkgver-jar-with-dependencies.jar "$pkgdir"/usr/share/java/$pkgname.jar 
...

Thanks @drd and @Fuzzi99 I have taken both suggestions on board in latest pkgbuild
