Any news? Issue persists, workaround is a very lengthy procedure...

requested log rom a failed start attenpt + close after error message is shown: https://pastebin.com/raw/75Nc77rK

Tried as suggested in #6 to no avail

#1 I only have/use Minecraft launcher

#2 I have no such apps

#3 I have no Windows OS in use and thus also no such apps

#4 Free disk space is roughly 850 GiB

#5 No, however the laptop device has only on physical drive, I could try to use a USB-pendrive?

#6 will do so and report back later

#7 No VPN used, no software from the referenceed “incompatible software” list is in place/use

#8 see video above, install launcher on Linux, log in, all works, restart launcher → error

Alternative video link (if the one above is expired): https://murena.io/s/tP8mQKEtin4gYya

Issue still there. Video here: https://streamable.com/032ry0

Issue still there. Any updates? Really annoying to loose login info and game settings upon each game start…

Well, I reported the previous message a bit too early. Launcher starts once when I delete the configs as per my previous post and I can start/play java edition of Minecraft. However whenever I quit the game and the launcher and restart it, I face the issue again:

Looks like that did the trick for me:

rm -rf ~/.minecraft/

For me: System is freshly updated, Launcher is one that I used for months and it stopped working a couple of weeks ago just like that. Is there any way I can submit some debug info?

Same here on Linux kernel 6.11.0-19-generic

Or change one line of code to make axes work fast for melons.

You get more benefits with fewer changes. Including instamining melons. (Swords don't have access to efficiency).

This issue is very similar to the wooden slab/pickaxe issue we had a few versions ago. Or the one where redstone always took ages to mine no matter what pick you had. I would class those as bugs.

A knife could also be use to cut a pumpkin stalk. Should we change the pumpkins tool too?

I might agree with you if the sword did not take two durability points and mines as fast as an axe on a pumpkin. But it does not.

Furthermore, in a recent update the fortune enchantment was fixed to work with melons. (It might be an older update). Can you get fortune on a sword in survival? No. (And looting does not work on melons.)

Based on this reasoning, and the reasoning in my previous post, I still think this bug post was closed in error and that the current system is not working a intended. A weak analogy won't sway me.

Please can it be reopened, or at least looked at by Dinnerbone, Jeb, Grum or Evil_Seph.

I would say this is intended. The last snow layer in the stack has no always has no collision.

Try placing 4 and compare it to a slab.

Still present in 13w07a.

This bug is unusual, items will be erased until one of an item remains for each inventory slot. The hopper will also not erase items that do not stack.

Melons can be mined faster with a sword, but it takes two points of durability from the sword. (It also takes two durability points to use a sword on a pumpkin).

The sword also mines a pumpkin just as fast as a sword mines a melon, but the axe is faster.

It makes no sense that the sword should be the tool of choice for mining a melon.

Would it be possible to have a mod reopen this issue?

I don't think Dinnerbone fully understood the issue when he closed it.
