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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

So the only reason for not making it java-runtime>=8 is because users might not actually have jre 8 installed and wonder why mods dont work? I don't like to have an extra version of java just because LegacyLauncher is old and unsupported. I don't understand why it can't be "greater than OR equal". Currently, it is only "equal".

Besides, arch will prompt for a choice of the java version to install, when installing minecraft-launcher for the first time, while having no Java installed.

This package should depend on gtk2 - as without gtk2 installed, the launcher won't start. See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59904 for basically the same issue for another package.

The future plan for this is to turn the main package into a downloader/updater and bring it in line with the other platforms. Please switch to using minecraft-launcher.

I tried manually building the package by changing the pkgver in the PKGBUILD file and it installed but it would only open when run as root.

@jpegxguy that's answered in the pinned message. JRE 1.8 (java-runtime=8) is required for anything using legacy launcher (aka launch wrapper), which is almost all mods and also legacy versions of the game.

Newer JRE versions break stuff that legacy launcher depends on (ABIs).

He did note that there is nothing to stop you having JRE 1.8 in addition to other java versions since they do not conflict.

@petr Why not java-runtime>=8 ?
