Observed Results:
I am unable to format text in the system-provided "Environment" field. As external documentation explains, the default "Environment" field is unformatted by default.
Expected Results:
However, it would be significantly more useful it were formatted, because:
It would permit reporters to include environment YAML from
kinfo
on the KDE Plasma 6 DE;It would provide installation instructions to reference a specific commit of a compilation when using the
flatpak
package. This is necessary on OSes where dependencies likeglibc
aren't natively available. An example is Alpine Linux, which usesmusl
, soglibc
needs to be emulated. Valid MC bugs can still come from such installations;
...etcetera.
Notes:
This official explanation provided in response to a user previously requesting this explains how the field can be replaced with a custom one, which should include formatted text.
Steps to Reproduce:
Enter formatted text in the environment field. As an example from another bug:
https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.tar.gz on https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/40/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso.
For the sake of versioning, specifically the undermentioned:
flatpak install 'https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/com.mojang.Minecraft.flatpakref' && \
flatpak update 'app/com.mojang.Minecraft/x86_64/stable' --commit=bb7110c933f26a839a8fff4b86b9ff4ed954d1f742f30118d62f995af3441989
However, I've also tested the undermentioned:
flatpak install 'https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher.flatpakref' && \
flatpak update 'app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/x86_64/stable' --commit=369388b1bb5a75de1e5181d85810ae42c0302fb344eea63511bfe9326d06f146
...and it occurred there.

Even for Jira?
Hello. This site runs Jira, which is not developed by Mojang. Bug reports and feature requests for Jira should be reported in Jira's issue tracker.
I'm aware of that. I reference it a few times. If you read the citation, this is the decision of the instance administrator, not Atlassian, the software vendor (they could change the default, but they shan't, so they allow the instance admins to decide in their stead).
Even for Jira?
Yes, the WEB project is for bugs, not feature requests. Both The Minecraft Feedback Site and the Minecraft Feedback Discord server have a section for official Minecraft websites.
Thanks for the explanation. I've posted https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/31456273967885-The-Jira-Environment-field-is-unformattable.
