|
|
Hello,
The most recent Minecraft version requires Java 16 else the game wont launch (you must use the launchers bundled Java). Before <1.17 I used Java 8 with dev-java/openjdk-jre-bin. Ive reviewed https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Java#The_choices however I cant seem to find Java version 16? Is this something new that's coming or am I missing something?
Thanks!

Thank you for that pointer. I was pulling my hair out.
For those that, like me, need a pointer to using overlays: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_ebuild_repository
Don't just download the dev-java/openjdk-bin-16.0.1_p9 ebuild. You'll also need to get "files/openjdk-bin-16.env.sh". You can browse to it.
It's working fine now. |

NP!
I went the route as fedeliallalinea stated, I just added the overlay 2xsaiko with "layman -a 2xsaiko" then "emerge -av dev-java/openjdk:16" & within the Minecraft launcher use "/usr/lib64/openjdk-16/bin/java" for the JAVA EXECUTABLE. Whatever works! Cheers! |
