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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

launcher just hangs.

I have tried deleting the webcache2 as in the previous comment. Still the same issue I have also tried reinstalling the launcher

I am unable to login into my micorosft account, it seems to be a 400 error on microsoft part. Once i enter my password, i get : Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in. For more details, please see this link On windows it also affects the "legacy launcher", using the windows 11/10 launcher and logging in via the xbox app works. Looking around in the log, i see various errors but this one seems to be the most important :

login_xxxxxxxx.js(1)] OnConsoleMessage: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Error with conditional UI:SecurityError: The relying party ID is not a registrable domain suffix of, nor equal to the current domain.

Using prism launcher works, maybe this official launcher is deprecated?

@EsGeh: These are not problems with the package.

1. To have persistent login support you need to install any of the password services that are clearly stated under "Dependencies" as "persistent login support" in both the AUR entry and the PKGBUILD.

2. This is a problem with the launcher, not the package. Multiple people in the comments seem to have already posted solutions for other people with similar problems below. Though from skimming the logs I suspect it might related to not having a password service installed. If you don't find a solution the arch wiki entry for minecraft has a list of alternative 3rd party launchers (intended for mods, but perfectly fine for vanilla as well).

Problems with this package:

• I have to log in to the microsoft account with username & password every fucking time!
• Sometimes indeterministically, after login, the program hangs and does not start the launcher

Deleting rm -rf ~/.minecraft/launcher doesn't solve anything.

This is what is printed in the console when the launcher successfully starts after login:

For me, the launcher needed fpt.live.com (not ftp) If you're running pihole or another DNS blocker, you'll have to whitelist the domain.

@ussur: That workaround is easy and good enough to integrate into the package, which I did in my latest change.

Somehow, if file .minecraft/webcache2/CEF_VERSION exists - it makes launcher fail to start. Launcher goes to "Whoops!" menu. If you delete that file - for some reason launcher starts being able to start. Btw that file's only contents are:

127.3.5+g114ea2a+chromium-127.0.6533.120

Also, for some reason, removing package plasma-browser-integration also fixes that issue with CEF_VERSION file.

Really weird issue, hope it gets fixed.

I just wanted to say that after having the same issue with the launcher not working as others have been having, I finally managed to fixed it by removing plasma-browser-integration. Thanks!

thank you turcid! deleting plasma-browser-integration works for me. hopefully kde fixes that issue.

Update: ftp.live.com had to be whitelisted in my network. I have found this error when trying to login on the first screen. an embeddet browser window pops up, flashes with the microsoft login ant turns grey, no interaction possible. deleting webcache2 folder makes no difference, also removing plasma-browser-integration does nothing. i heard a blocked domain on pihole like adblockers may be the issue for me but i wasnt able to find the correct to whitelist.
