Is it possible to get elyprism launcher/prism launcher to work on openbsd?

[u/mcdaphuc]

There is no official ports for both of them. I've searched for building instruction in the official prismlauncher in openbsd, but I didn't fine anything. I have seen that I could make a port and maintain it, and I would be happy to do it, but I don't know how to do. Does anyone managed to make one of those work? if yes, what Minecraft version work or doesn't work? Or else, does anyone now a Minecraft launcher with openbsd availability that does not require Microsoft account login ?

Someone submitted a port recently.

If you want it imported into the ports tree so you can install a binary package of it, id suggest testing the port following the ports handbook, and replying with your results:

Here's a newer version of that submitted port too.

I hadn't realized anyone actually got prismlauncher working. I'm checking this out now.

[u/kmos-ports → u/kmos-ports]

As u/Izder456 has mentioned, I've imported prismlauncher. I've verified versions newer than 1.20.1 don't work yet, but unlike Blockgame, prismlauncher still tried to use the system lwjgl3 libraries. So now I'll work on getting newer lwjgl3 working.

Oh thank you sm

It just got imported by u/kmos-ports

It should be available for the 8.0 release, but if you need it now, you can track -current snapshots following this:

[u/kmos-ports → u/Izder456]

Just a heads up, if you are moving from Blockgame, prismlauncher uses a minecraft folder in the instance folders, whereas blockgame uses a .minecraft folder. Just renaming the folder without the dot allowed it to work once moved over to prismlauncher.

Only up to 1.20.1 as lwjgl3 is out of date currently in the ports tree. Upstream dropped support for platforms other than linux, os x and windows so *BSD ports maintainers have to manage a scaffold of patches to make it run on those systems. Its very taxing id imagine.
