Legacy-lwjgl3

Features

• makes the game use lwjgl3 on old (<1.13) versions
• redirects clipboard access to glfw
• makes glfw use its wayland backend if possible:
  • Injects a .desktop file and the icon in the correct locations for them to function correctly
  • Loads & Displays a virtual cursor on in-game screens to support setting the cursor position

See the "Accessed Paths" and "Accessed Programs" sections if you're running the game in a sandbox (e.g. through a launcher installed as a flatpak) and make sure to allow the minecraft process to access these!

Dependencies

• This mod is best used in combination with OSL, but doesn't depend on it. OSL is required in case any resourcepack resource-overriding functionality is wanted.

Options

• (Wayland Only) the property virtual_mouse.export can be passed as true to export the loaded cursor to a cursors directory in the instance folder. It will contain all images contained in the cursor as well as all metadata. It will also create a human-readable metadata file for each image, and a cursor.cursor file in the cursor config format. This file may be used to generate a new X11 cursor out of the images with the xcursorgen program.

Accessed Paths (Wayland Only)

• $HOME/.local/share/applications/com.mojang.minecraft.desktop
• $HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor/apps/{16x16, 32x32}/minecraft.png
• $HOME/.local/share/icons/<theme>/cursors/left_ptr
• $HOME/.icons/<theme>/cursors/left_ptr
• /usr/share/icons/<theme>/cursors/left_ptr

Accessed Programs

• xdg-icon-resource (to update the icon system)
• gsettings (to query for cursor theme & size)

Compatibility

• Compatible with OptiFabric (incl. Shaders)
• Should be compatible with about any other mod there is as long as the minecraft version is

If a mod isn't, make sure to report it on the issue tracker!

Gallery

In the best case you won't even notice this mod is installed. Due to this, there are no menus or anything else obvious this mod adds. Therefore, gallery images are not very useful to add since there is nothing important for them to show.
