So I figured out how to play Minecraft on my Pi. Hooray! Older versions work well enough, 1.0 being a little slow while 1.8.8 somehow works slightly better. Overall playable, good stuff.
I, however, wanted to play the Alpha versions of minecraft, specifically 1.1.2_01, the version I've mainly been playing on for the past week.
One issue with that though, it would throw up an error every time I launched it. Something about some argument in Java being invalid, I dunno.
I decided to leave it and figure it out another day, just messing with the versions I did get working.
Well, earlier this morning I decided to take another stab at it. I went to launch the Alpha version again so I could look at the error log and figure out exactly what was wrong so I could fix it. Only instead of throwing an error, it just booted up like nothing was wrong. I honestly found this more frustrating than if it just didn't work to begin with. Oh well.
The only other challenge I have now is trying to run 1.19. I know it won't run well, if at all. I just wanna see it do it for fun.
The only issue stopping me from doing that is that Raspberry Pi OS, for some reason, limits the Java versions you can actually get. 1.19 requires Java 17, while I can only easily install up to 16. strange stuff, a bit of a pain, but I'm sure I can figure it out.
Honestly still surprises me that I can play any version of Minecraft at all on this thing. Not bad for a little development board.

I fucking HATE errors that fix themselves. LET ME UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WRONG!!!
Like, thanks for working with me, but also fuck you for withholding the actual issue and solution from me
