Hi, so I was trying to run Minecraft on my distro and I ran into this error, I have openjdk-8-jre installed still I get this error when I try java -jar minecraft.jar in the terminal.

[BootstrapStarter] Current dir: /mnt/Yasir Rehman/Downloads/Games/MineCraft/.

Okay I got it working I just uninstalled java and reinstalled with jdk and it worked sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

Hmm, interesting. If it couldn't find the bootstrap classloader, my thought is that the openjdk-8-jre package must not be properly packaged.

Java programs (and thereby Minecraft plugins) usually explicitly call the bootstrap classloader in order to reflexively read items from the resource folder in the jar. There's no reason you should have needed the jdk package. My best guess is that the jre package is missing some binaries from $JAVA_HOME/bin

But I'm glad you got it working! What version/distro were you running on?
