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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

To get the latest version change the following lines in your PKGBUILD

pkgver=2.2.909

sha256sums=( '02e6067790bb65b2f0229ae297806bbdc77d1d1934f8a49d5ca21286728da297' '677e2442a1ae83cc58d8d403666e508129e97dbed37fdfafdceac6101dc0dee7' '35c2bcaeb09fa4b8864e9422fd66bf60847706f8b4400ec4a66ba6436b101f71' )

@randyzhu

Breaking news :)

I saw mention of this package on official site half a year ago.

This AUR package is now officially recognized as the Minecraft download for Arch!

@shoghicp @petr I think it should be renamed Mojang Launcher and that Minecraft should be deleted to only let this launcher on the repository

It's the same problem on Lutris with Epic/Rockstar/Steam... Games Launcher

Theres some entries for the launcher and some entries for the games directly

To get the updated version change the following PKGBUILD lines:

pkgver=2.2.741

sha256sums=( '7ccf4fdd7271b8c81058151b344f51c4f72f683bf3d2fafa8a3086649747a72e' '677e2442a1ae83cc58d8d403666e508129e97dbed37fdfafdceac6101dc0dee7' '35c2bcaeb09fa4b8864e9422fd66bf60847706f8b4400ec4a66ba6436b101f71' )

Hit the "Compile" button and then "Apply" and you're good to go

Can you update the SHA256Sum in the PKGBUILD?

Is minecraft the same as minecraft-launcher now?

<deleted-account> commented on 2020-11-02 12:49 (UTC)

Yeah, it feels like the beta should be providing this, the other way around.

akrai commented on 2020-11-02 09:51 (UTC)

The package should provide minecraft-launcher, not minecraft-launcher-beta, right? Anyway, it would be a probably irrelevant mistake
