Minecraft (updating minecraft, done loading...) [SOLVED]

s0lid7 · 2012-10-26 13:28:06

I downloaded Minecraft from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39434

I installed it using wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

I read this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Minecraft where it says that it might work "out of the box"
I run mineraft and because i only have a free acccount i hit the free demo button. It starts but it freezes at "Updating Minecraft, done loading" screen and doesn't go any further.

Then i saw in 3d link that i need openjdk7 and that it wasn't installed on my system, so i installed "extra/openjdk7-src" since it was the only output of "pacman -Ss openjdk"
same thing as above.

Then i also saw in 3d link that i might need lwjgl so i installed it too from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26745
same thing.

I also tried "force update" button from minecraft's options as i saw some people were advised to do.
same thing again.

I would like some help/advise in order to make game work.

My system: Arch x86_64 (up to date), Gnome 3.4.2, cpu intel i5 (4 cores), gpu NVidia gts 250, 4gb ram

I don't really know, but it never worked for me with openjdk7.
Now, my Minecraft works fine when I install the minecraft from the AUR with openjdk6 (and although it's probably not needed, icedtea-web), so maybe you should replace your openjdk7 with openjdk6. I googled it one time too, and somewhere they said that javaw is not included in openjdk7 but is included in openjdk6.

Ever since 1.3, I believe, they added the feature of being able to demo the game.

it works fine with openjdk7 or jre here. but again, never could download the game without a paid account and that was with latest 1.3.y
