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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Bombstrike, (or anyone else for that matter) for a quick fix for the jre7 update for time being, modify the exec line of the ./minecraft script to read: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/java/jre/lib/i386/:/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/" exec java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp /usr/share/minecraft/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame $@ works here (on i386, jre-7-2. needs testing for x86_64)

To fix the problem with JRE 1.7 on 64 bit, add "sed "s|QT_IM_MODULE|&\n#Fix for those using JRE 7 on 64 bit\nexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64\"|" <minecraft >minecraft2; mv minecraft2 minecraft" to line 22. Here is the full fixed PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/VVtvWLRU. This is a workaround, not a fix. It simply tells Minecraft to use the 64 bit library. I got it from http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/minecraft_doesnt_work_with_java_7#reply_5934409

This is being taken care of in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25305 and is not directly linked to Minecraft.

Reproducible blackscreen with JRE 1.7. After update to JRE 1.7 Minecraft crashes. After Downgrading to 6u26 it’s fine again.

Question.. I need the 1.6.6 version to play the zelda mod, do you know how do it? Thanks for your package!

Is this crashing for anyone else on start with the catalyst driver?

Don't need all xorg-server-utils dependencies, only xorg-xrandr is necessary. Seems openal isn't necessary too, I uninstalled it and all sounds are working flawless.

No it doesn't, the package only provides the launcher which hasn't changed in the latest beta.
