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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Oh, and you might want to do ">/dev/null" to suppress the debug output, which gets captured by the launcher already.

Using -Xms and -Xmx in the script is now pointless because the launcher spawns a new VM. The parameters for it can be set in the launcher. I don't think the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is needed anymore.

Seems like someone uploaded the previous version on the archlinuxfr repo so if you use yaourt, please do "yaourt -S aur/minecraft" to force the installation of the aur version.

It still uses the old launcher for me. I've even tried manually deleting all files and reinstalling.

BombStrike commented on 2013-07-01 12:55 (UTC)

Updated to use latest launcher. Sorry about the delay

1.6.1 is out and with it a new launcher. Please update the package.

Some of us are using custom launchers and by default this launchers search for minecraft in $HOME/.minecraft. It would be nice to have minecraft launcher there on installation (without having to update). Can you use a simbolic link for example? Thanks.

If you're talking about the launcher provided here: http://mojang.com/2013/05/minecraft-snapshot-13w18a/ I'm not sure yet, I'll probably wait 1 week or 2 so that they can fix any big issues they may find in it then probably use it in this package.

Now that the new launcher supports 1.5.1 and 1.5.2, will you be updating this package to use it?

rafaelff commented on 2013-04-28 14:24 (UTC)

@BombStrike: It is the best pratice that if nothing is built, then better using only package() function. Also, "|| return 1" is deprecated.
