I wanted to play Minecraft on my 64-bit Ubuntu Linux install, but it wasn’t working correctly for me, and would give a black screen after login, and the console reported some errors about xrandr (which might be related to my odd “dual display-port + docking station” setup at home). After some searching, I found a tip to manually install the LWJGL java libraries into the ~\/.minecraft\/bin\/ folder, to have the latest and greatest version of those libraries.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the latest version zip archive of the LWJGL libraries: http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/java-game-lib\/files\/latest\/download?source=files<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Extract downloaded zip archive<\/li>\n
  3. Copy all files in lwjgl-2.9\/jar\/ to ~\/.minecraft\/bin\/<\/li>\n
  4. Copy all files in lwjgl-2.9\/native\/linux\/ to ~\/.minecraft\/bin\/natives\/<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And then you should be good to go.<\/p>\n
