Java 19 incompatible with Minecraft 1.8.9 #18

Closed GrizzlT closed 1 year ago

GrizzlT commented 1 year ago

I came across this project today and it is looking quite neat!

When I tried to run the 1.8.9 version, the resulting program crashes every time I try to join hypixel.net (haven't checked other servers) with an error saying it can't access address of the buffer.

I managed to fix the issue by replacing the jre package in the module/client.nix file by the jre8 package. Apparently java 19 is too new? Could anyone provide insight in this?

I can reproduce this issue on my laptop. And the official FAQ of Minecraft Java edition (https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409225939853-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Installation-Issues-FAQ) does mention Java version requirements:

Java 8 is required to run Minecraft versions 1.12 through 1.17. Java 17 is required to run Minecraft version 1.18 and up.

I opened PR https://github.com/Ninlives/minecraft.nix/pull/19 to implement this requirement.
