I need help, I only play MInecraft 1.8.9 and it looks like this on every distro I use, with any launcher, this screenshot it taken on Arch Linux with LXDE and Prism Launcher. (on windows it works btw)

  • Specs:

  • RAM : 8 GB

    If I had to guess I would blaim that on Java, maybe try to reinstall Java 8 and make sure it’s actually selected in the launcher rather than a newer version!

        What’s the story behind this domain? I checked to see if maybe someone had made one for every Minecraft version, but no, 1.8.9 is singled out for some reason. Edit: Okay 1.7.10 also exists, I’m guessing some others do too. 1.6.4 doesn’t, that was the first one I checked.

          Well, the game was stuck on 1.8 longer than any other version especially if you also consider all the servers that refused to switch for years because Mojang didn’t do a especially good job with the new combat system!

    What Java version do you have? They switched to a much newer version of Java at some point, maybe the old versions of Minecraft are trying to use the new Java and flipping out?

      On arch the default java environment can be checked with archlinux-java status if archlinux-java-run is installed

        I think Minecraft launchers have their own setting for Java versions but I have no clue which one they select and I am almost certain Java 8 (which as far as I remember was the version for that Minecraft version) won’t be the Arch Linux default.
