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:
  • OS : Arch Linux
  • GPU : Nvidia 1660 Super
  • CPU : Ryzen 5 2600 3.400GHz
  • RAM : 8 GB

especially the minecraft version which is known for having font issues.

I like the implication that there is some playability, being “basically” unplayable instead of “totally” unplayable.

I guess the screenshot still kind of looks like Minecraft?

I played similar to that, i mean you can still see players so pvp kind of works? Tho it changed the textures weirdly depending on what player skin loaded last and if they have a migrator cape. So pvp does still work, kind of?

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.

It is also dependent on how they’ve installed Prism, if through the Flatpak it bundles its own Java versions, Java 8 is included and can just be selected in the settings specifically for that instance
