That's much, much cleaner. Thanks for letting me know about that! Should be unnecessary for the entire INSTALL.msg now |

This is not a package request.
The current minecraft template installs the fifth iteration of the minecraft launcher. Minecraft is up to it's seventh iteration and is considerably different from the fifth, especially in that it uses Electron instead of whatever it used before (java?). You can take a look at the visual difference by looking at this image of the older launcher and this one of the newer launcher
As long as the fifth launcher is available from the URL it uses I feel like it should still be installable since it's electron free and still works great, but maybe that's just me being nostalgic?
I've already written a working template which I've installed and am using. I've pushed it to the minecraft-launcher branch in my fork.
So my thinking was either
minecraft
package sticks around as-is and the new launcher is added asminecraft-launcher
or,minecraft
package is updated to use the new launcher and the old one is a) renamed tominecraft-legacy
,minecraft-launcher-legacy
or something similar or b) deleted.Thoughts?
