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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

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

Is this package still obsolete? The path to download Minecraft.jar is still the same, but the actual file is different.

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-10-13 18:44 (UTC)

Where were these file obtained? Is this a launcher or the real game?

Could you switch the png to a higher resolution one, like this one, for example: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/008/6/1/minecraft_hd_icon___mac___pc_by_hunterkharon-d36qrs5.png It's ripped directly from the Minecraft source and it looks a lot better in Gnome 3.
