Minecraft sometimes not starting with XWayland

Minecraft starts sometimes, and sometimes not. If it is starting, it runs very very bad and has a lot of graphics errors and crashes.

Other Java Games that are using LWJGL are running fine with the Wayland/XWayland Display Server Protocol (Nuncabola etc.).

Please fix it, many Linux distributions are changing to Wayland, and it is important that such a well-known game like Minecraft is able to run without problems.

This is not a technical support issue. Please re-open this Bug-Report.
Wayland is the new Display Server Protocol for Linux based Operating-Systems. It replaces the X11-Display Server Protocol.

Wayland is the new reference-implementation of display servers on Linux based Systems.

More and more Linux Distributions will ship Wayland per default in the next months. So all users using modern Linux-Distributions will have this problems in near future.

Then please do report it to LWJGL.

Have you read my bug-report?
"Other Java Games that are using LWJGL are running fine with the Wayland/XWayland Display Server Protocol (Nuncabola etc.)."
Other games that using the LWJGL Graphics Library are starting fine and having almost no bugs on Wayland.

Other games using LWJGL are starting without problems - and Minecraft is using an old version of LWJGL.
Maybe it is because 2.9.1 is too old, and don't have Wayland fixes.

So maybe update the LWJGL Library for Minecraft on Linux?

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w43a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.
