Would offer hugs if this could be looked into; Minecraft launcher, and the game itself should do a better job using modern Linux conventions (even if they are a bit daft).
Here’s how my custom env vars are, which are not the default XDG location:
XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/john/settings/data
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/home/john/settings/.runtime
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/john/settings/config
XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/john/settings/cache
It is a bug, because the mouse wheel inversion is ignored - unlike in other applications. Would you like me to refile a new bug and reword this same issue?
Seen this recently in 1.7.9 as we prepared our unpopulated chunks ready for the 1.8 update. Willing to share the map data if it’ll help devs look into this.
It’s a bit complicated, the launcher loading screen (that’s just text debug info) has the JDK Duke icon, then the launcher loads ‐ current launcher 1.5 has a Minecraft icon for window and window selector; once loaded into the game proper, Minecraft application 1.7.9 has crafting bench icon for window and window selector. 14w30c is the same, crafting bench icon.
Can’t test on the other platforms, is that how it should be?
Still seeing it while running around the plains on that seed, though mostly now at edge of FOV.
Same issue on 12.04, though i’m seeing the Duke Java icon for Minecraft’s window and taskbar entry.
If this bug could be updated and confirmed: afffects current version, launcher and client.
Minecraft is one of the few remaining applications on Linux that puts data in ~/.application/, would be great to see this fixed.
