@Tids If I don't force the install of java 8 I get weekly mails asking me to force the install because people expect this package to set it up for them.
What I can do though is set it to java-runtime>=8 and leave a comment telling java 9 users to check the issue you linked.

Please dont force installation of java 8, Set it as "optional dependency" with a nice comment. Minecraft runs very well with java 9 (look at the comment from max.bra)

hi all,
minecraft is java 9 compatible by removing "-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode" from profile startup arguments. java-runtime=8 is not needed.
BombStrike commented on 2017-11-30 08:57 (UTC)
Scratch my last comment, I can actually use java-runtime=8. If you have both the Oracle and OpenJDK 8 versions installed, the binary will use OpenJDK by default.
BombStrike commented on 2017-11-30 08:50 (UTC)
Sorry about the delay, I updated java-runtime to jre8-openjdk and made the binary use it by default (initially wanted to leave support for the JRE9 but seems to crash the game).
I wish there was a more elegant solution that would be compatible with people using the oracle jre8 but I have no way to say something like "java-runtime == 8" so that will have to do for now.

@brandon-schumann oh, yes. thank you. never noticed, that this is used by the feature. i'll do it in the next release of this package (would be propably on monday). it's making the package more accessible of course :)

Could flite be added as an optional dependency for the chat narrator feature?

I have updated the PKGBUILD to version 2.0.1005 you can get it here -> https://pastebin.com/cnn3JPrp

For anyone getting the "JAVA Unsupported major.minor version 52.0" error, that is because minecraft switched to Java 8 in the 1.12 update. To fix, do the following:
sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk jre8-openjdk-headless
sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre
Then you should be good.
Package should probably depend on the above packages as well to ensure it works on the latest version, while keeping the previous version as option for older versions.

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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
