Created attachment 804847 [details] log of minecraft failing to launch due to missing xrandr I've installed games-action/polymc on my minimal sway/wayland desktop and couldn't launch the game. lwjgl library used by minecraft seems to check available displays using xrandr. I didn't have x11-apps/xrandr and couldn't launch the game. Thread about similar issues on arch forum. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=221345 Could you please add x11-apps/xrandr as a dependency for this package? PS. games-action/multimc-bin probably also needs this dependency.
this is not related to wayland I think old Minecraft (<= 1.12.2) support needs x11-libs/libXrandr https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/issues/227
It's not directly related to wayland. I've just encountered it on a machine which didn't have x11-apps/xrandr installed. Most normal desktop enviroments probably would have had it installed. It requires x11-apps/xrandr. I've tested with x11-libs/libXrandr installed and it didn't work.
It's already listed as being optionally required for minecraft<=1.12 in the post install phase. I don't think we should add it to the runtime dependencies because it is only required for the older versions of minecraft. There are also some other dependencies specific to certain versions of minecraft (e.g certain versions of java). I think we shouldn't add them all to the polymc ebuild because we would be pulling in too many dependencies that aren't strictly necessary for everyone.
Running minecraft on wayland takes effort. Old versions (<1.13) currently do not have a workaround for doing this, and you are try to launch version 1.12.2 with forge according to the log you uploaded. You may want to have a look at https://github.com/Admicos/minecraft-wayland

Ok, could you correct post install phase to also mention x11-apps/xrandr? In my tests having x11-libs/libXrandr doesn't seem to help. Old Minecraft requires x11-apps/xrandr. People in that github issue also talk about xrandr, not libXrandr. (In reply to Liu Yujie from comment #4) > Running minecraft on wayland takes effort. I haven't had any issues since I've figured out it needs x11-apps/xrandr. Minecraft on xwayland works ok. Forge probably doesn't matter. Creating fresh vanilla instance doesn't change the results.
