Description Alexander Vereeken freebsd_triage 2026-03-04 10:38:30 UTC 
Hello,

this is an patch to remove OpenJDK 21 hard dependency as USES Java sets 21.

While addressing this, also remove the dependency on LWJGL2 to maintain
focus on the latest game versions.

Thanks.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for your submission! Just wondering, would you consider 1) mentioning this change in pkg-message and/or 2) making an OPTION for this?

The patch seems OK to me, tested in Poudriere (14.3-RELEASE-p9-amd64, main(5588918657e8)).

I need to ask for approval from my mentors first.

Thanks.

I think it makes sense to write in the pkg-message that if the user wants to run very old versions of Minecraft, then he needs to manually install LWJG 2.x (games/lwjgl) and an old version of OpenJDK (java/openjdk8).

1. Sync with main branch's PORTREVISION.

2. Add note about playing old versions of Minecraft to pkg-message.

If the maintainer has no objections, you can commit.

This ticket has effectively been superseded due to the default Java version being updated once more to 25. That said, I will prepare a new patch incorporating my revised ideas around the weekend.

BTW, Minecraft server and client work with OpenJDK 25 fine too.
