Hey, I don’t know where to put this but after an update I can no longer open the Minecraft Launcher, if i run it through the command line I get this, I’m pretty new to Linux and Programming, I found this thread on the Arch Linux forum but wondered if anyone else is having this problem, or knows how to fix it.

Manjaro defaults to latest OpenJDK for the time being it is OpenJDK15

You may need to use an earlier version of Java.

Minecraft needs openjdk-8 to run. Check your openjdk version and make sure it didn’t get updated.

I intstalled Java 8 with sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless jre8-openjdk jdk8-openjdk openjdk8-doc openjdk8-src (is this the right command to use?), when I use java -version it shows up with Java 15, is there a command to set the deealut version to 8? I also noticed that in my original post it says current game is not in dictionary update and run Game dictionary.

You can have multiple versions installed without conflict. Version 15 is probably still installed.

Hi, I’ve set Java 8 as my defelat now and the launcher still fails to launch. In my orginal post it said that

 Current executable is not in game directory, update and run game directory version

i don’t know what this means, but I can run Minecraft by using

cd .minecraft/launcher

.mineraft-launcher

I think that what this means is that the latest update moved the launcher into another folder maybe? However I have no idea how to fix this, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the launcher is pointing to the wrong directory. Which launcher are you using? I usually run the jar file manually with java -jar “path to executable”.

use the script

archlinux-java

Sorry, I’m a little late on the response. I use the official version, I’ve also noticed that if I edit the application it is set to not executable, but I can’t change it because I’m not part of root. Can I add myself then take myself out in order to fix it? Also how does the command you use work, will it change the path, so I don’t have to do it every time?

I’ve changed the default version of Java to 8, but that doesn’t seem to have fixed it. In my earlier post I said that the update may have caused the game directory to move, whic is why I’m only able to open it with cd .minecraft/launcher

The initial topic made it a viable option to ensure a compatible Java JDK/JRE is available. I have no idea on what else to try.

I had to delete the Game Dictionary with

rm ~/.minecraft/launcher -rf

Afterwards it will update properly/
