Meanwhile in the Known Issues: "Entering Exclusive fullscreen mode crashes the game on Wayland"

You'd think they'd fix something like that before making the game Wayland-first.

    this is a snapshot, so bugs like these are to be expected. it’s almost certainly getting fixed before the full release

    one previous snapshot had a known bug where if the vulkan renderer (back then the default iirc) was used on macos, the entire screen would be pink upon joining a world, making the game unplayable. it got fixed in the following snapshot.

    This is what keeps me unfortunately from fully committing to switching. Linux is definitely expanding rapidly but there's just certain things that don't rock well enough or it's an absolute ball ache to get it to work

    Doesn't it use whatever the desktop is using? I assume this really means that if the desktop is using Wayland, it directly uses Wayland libraries instead of some x11 adapter?

    Does this mean that they have finally solved the mouse centrering issue, which means that you can actually play Minecraft on Wayland now? Woho!
