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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

@veronic What error did you get, or what problem are you encountering? It's not clear at which point you're having issues, so it's hard to say what you should do.

This package seemed to install fine, but I've now got a 'corrupt' display in Arch itself (after quitting minecraft), even after rebooting, neither uninstalling this package helped. Display ok before logging in, and in a tty1.

Should add noextract=('Minecraft.jar') to prevent the jar form extracting.

Sorry about the delay with updating the package. I set ttf-font and libxtst as dependencies. I also updated the LICENSE that was included by the current EULA for minecraft.

If you change the Icon line in your desktop file to: Icon=minecraft Icon themes can customize the icon. ;)

I second dumbhat's observation. I had to install libxtst separately before minecraft would run on a fresh Arch install.

dumbhat commented on 2014-12-17 23:43 (UTC)

Think you'll need to add libxtst to the list of dependencies - wouldn't install on a fresh system without it.

flying-sheep commented on 2014-11-28 10:08 (UTC)

can you please replace the ttf-dejavu dependency with ttf-font?
