Unable to start Minecraft

Hello! I've just tried to start Minecraft recently and it can't start with the following output:

Please fix the error and restart.

Did anyone face the same problem? I installed it via pkg install minecraft-client, so I thought it should work out of the box. And the version installed from ports has the same problem. Seems like someone just dropped maintaining this port and removed the necessary file that was located at s3.amazonaws.com.

It wasn't the port maintainer that provided the bucket on amazon.

Apparently this is an old client that doesn't work any more with current Minecraft server versions. You might want to try games/multimc instead.

Unfortunately, the solution proposed by SirDice is also outdated. Currently, there is no way to run natively recent Minecraft on FreeBSD. You can do it only via Linuxulator or Wine. The second way works very well.

To have a native version, we need a new client. Multimc perhaps will not be updated due to changed license in newer versions, which forbids redistribution.

I can play Minecraft on FreeBSD with Prism Launcher. This github repository has prism launcher port, it also has lwjgl3 port which is required for Minecraft 1.20.x versions.

Thank you for the correction. I was trying some time ago Prism, but it didn't work for me. I had issues with using the system version of LWJGL. As far I remember, games/lwjgl3 should work with the recent Minecraft versions.

You're welcome. Yes, it should work now but the lwjgl3 in ports tree need graphics/glfw to be compiled with option PREEDIT on.
