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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Yes I meant minecraft-server. Commented on the wrong package.

@sxtynnmach1: You can't send mouse events to services running under systemd, and minecraft-server does not respond to signals as expected. screen gets around this issue (though I would have preferred to use tmux, screen still gets the job done). BTW: I assume you're talking about minecraft-server.

Can you add (and run the service under) a user "minecraft"? It's typically good practice to have these things run under their own specifically privileged user. Also, why the use of screen for the service file? Can't you run the jar directly and log to journald?

@Det: Yes, but this package only installs the launcher, which actually downloads the versioned game data.

Det commented on 2014-10-12 19:02 (UTC)

Doesn't the game have an actual version?

Please change the dependency on ttf-dejavu to ttf-font. It's provided by several font packages including ttf-dejavu and from my limited testing the game works fine with any of them.

Could you please change the Icon line in the .desktop file to Icon=minecraft This way alternative icons are considered automatically.

hexchain commented on 2014-06-30 12:54 (UTC)

Could you please put the _JAVA_OPTIONS line in the minecraft launcher script? _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=gasp -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=gasp -Dsun.java2d.xrender=true' exec java -jar /usr/share/minecraft/Minecraft.jar $@

@Brottweiler - Your solution seems to only work when launched from terminal. Otherwise the text is garbled...
