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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Please add ttf-dejavu as a dependency. Otherwise, the game fail at launch.

@sterlo I didnt flag it

@Toost_Inc -- I think it's labeled as out of date due to the inclusing of a cruft library, OpenAL, as per Booster-SDK.

How can this package be out of date when it uses the same launcher as linked to on the official site?

B4SH-B00STER commented on 2014-03-17 18:27 (UTC)

OpenAL is not needed

There you go, updated description taken from wikipedia

The description for this package is wrong. (a) Don't include pkgname in the description, that's part of the PKGBUILD guidelines, (b) Use a more serious description, like "A game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine.", or "An open world sandbox indie game." (from minecraft.net and wikipedia respectively).

Under which wierd setup does the output go to daemon.log? If running in a console it goes to the console, otherwise, the output is discarted. Otherwise, daemon.log would be full of all sort of junk from almost every user-space app.

Malifrax commented on 2013-11-02 22:06 (UTC)

The reason for piping the output to /dev/null is so that the system logs (/var/log/daemon.log in particular) don't get bloated with Minecraft log information. This isn't a huge issue for vanilla players, but if one plays with mods the amount of log entries can be quite a nuisance.

Updated icon and removed output to /dev/null Tried the swing flags but as said by @hobarrera it doesn't seem to work with jre7
