Are you running Minecraft versions 1.13 through 1.19.2 on OpenBSD?

It seems the version I just committed that gets Minecraft 26.x running on OpenBSD breaks those earlier versions. Will any of you care?

#OpenBSD #minecraft #OpenBSDGaming

the year is 2046. you haven’t played #Minecraft in a while so you decide to try the latest version, 47.α.56+ba

you spawn into an Appalachian High-Elevation Mountain Pass Deciduous Blue Ridge Forest biome

you punch one block of a tree and your inventory is instantly filled with

• 4x Stripped Broadleaf Maple Bark
• 2x Dead Broadleaf Maple Leaves
• 5x Parasitic Vine Fragment
• 3x Parasitic Vine Leaves
• 1x East-Facing Appalachian Crustose Tree Lichen (Orange)
• 1x North-Facing Appalachian Crustose Tree Lichen (White)
• 1x Old-Growth Appalachian Maple Tree Wood
• 1x Jungle Crucible Map Fragment
• 1x Pottery Shard

your UI fills up:

• Achievement Get! Lichen These Trees
• Achievement Get! Appalachian Blues
• Achievement Get! Broadleaf To Meet You
• Achievement Get! A Parasite… For Now
• Achievement Get! Soon To Be Lumber
• Achievement Get! Archaeology is Easy
• Achievement Get! The Start of Something Special
• Achievement Get! Novice Dendrologist

a raccoon mob appears and steals all of your items because you weren’t wearing a lucky rabbit’s foot necklace, which repels them

Strong suspicion I could swap out #macOS for #Linux, do better with #Minecraft and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like #GarageBand and Messages under #OSXKVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?

Let's see how this setup pans out: https://schmonz.com/2025/04/15/sensible-basic-minecraft-hosting/

What have I missed?

Also, how often might I need to send other server commands?
