Minecraft and Team Fortress 2 are the only video games I play nowadays. Especially Minecraft is really good when your mind gets tired and you want to let yourself go.
I installed minecraft from AUR and then launched the game. A black screen welcomed me after login screen. You know, nothing can get between a geek and the game he wants to play :P
All you need to get passed the friggin black screen is to update lwjgl (lightweight java gaming library) that minecraft uses. How simple it is right? To do so:
- Navigate to http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib and download the latest release of lwjgl.
- Minecraft uses the library stored in folder ~/.minecraft/bin/, thus, you need to replace those files with the ones in the zip file you downloaded.
Replace the following files with the ones in the folder jar in the zip you downloaded:
~/.minecraft/bin/jinput.jar~/.minecraft/bin/lwjgl.jar~/.minecraft/bin/lwjgl-utils.jar
And also replace these files with the ones in the folder native in the zip you downloaded:
~/.minecraft/bin/natives/libjinput-linux64.so~/.minecraft/bin/natives/liblwjgl64.so~/.minecraft/bin/natives/libopenal64.so~/.minecraft/bin/natives/libjinput-linux.so~/.minecraft/bin/natives/liblwjgl.so~/.minecraft/bin/natives/libopenal.so
Happy griefing :P
