Java checks are failing because the binary now looks for JavaCheck jars in "${application-path}/jars/" which resolves to /usr/bin/jars/ when the jars are actually located at /usr/share/devlauncher/jars/.
A quick fix is to move the devlauncher binary to /usr/share/devlauncher/ and add a symlink to that in /usr/bin/
I hope an OSS fork gets made and we can all move to it, but as of right now this is the best package if you don't wish to support peterix and multimc, however I feel some things like the patreon button should be removed, since this isn't multimc after-all.
Also the java autodetect seems broken (?)
Now that debranding has been pushed to develop, this will no longer build as MultiMC, it will instead build as DevLauncher.
Package name should probably change to reflect this.
see: https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/blob/develop/notsecrets/README.md
They added a file to put the secret in, along with a description and link to register for one, if you'd like to register and put one in (or read a config file/env for users to provide their own)
https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/blob/develop/notsecrets/Secrets.cpp
I see something similar to what happened with Visual Studio Code happening to MultiMC, the dev is de-branding the source code, making MultiMC a closed-source binary only program based on the unbranded source code, and hopefully the community forks that and rebrands similar to what VSCodium did.
Oh, sorry! There was quite a lot of activity around this package the past couple days/weeks and I got confused ;)
When you rewrote the PKGBUILD, you removed the git makedepends, which is required for git sources.

Please note that it is illegal to distribute the binaries created with this script due to MultiMC's licensing. You're still fine using/distributing the PKGBUILD itself to build a local package that you won't redistribute.
If you have any issues please report them here as upstream seems unwilling to cooperate with people who are using anything other than their official binary distribution of the software.
