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
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!
Are we calling 1.8.9 old now?
I mean it has been out for over 7 years now. https://howoldisminecraft189.today/
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.
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
especially the minecraft version which is known for having font issues.
