actually, just delete this file and it will work:
/home/user/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences
I had to write a shell script to autodelete that file everytime i close minecraft. I hope this gets fixed quickly.
@alchemy you can edit the application launch properties to
Program: rm
Command-Line Arguments: ~/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences '|' minecraft-launcher
Just got the exact same issue yesterday and found the exact same solution(btw, also Arch user)
rm $HOME/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences
but it’s quite annoying, hope that can got fixed soon
P.S. I got some different logs every time I click “Try Again”, may be useful
[Error: 2025-03-06 13:38:58.862750360: nWq20LX9f84=: app.0ce5389a.bundle.js(2)] OnConsoleMessage: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')
It works ok if I delete /home/user/.minecraft/webcache2/ before launch
