QuoteAdded text-to-speech narratorI can't wait to see this be horribly, horribly, abused… :S:
I'm still playing Minecraft frequently, but only version 1.7 as that's where most of the good modpacks are still. I think I tried 1.8 once, but that's about as far forward as I've gone.

Good launcher but I get "./launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error in Ubuntu 16.04. :(

the AUR version is maintained by mojang employees, shoghicp uses Arch, that is why this exists at all.
this is the pinned comment from the AUR:

This is maintained by employees of Mojang.
We have no "current" release for any Linux distribution, due to some issues that we are working on fixing.
As soon as we have any release, we will update this package. Note that any old versions (like this one, or current "new" one some people are suggesting to use) might stop working in the future, until we fix these issues.

This parrot is once more. It has begun to be. It would voom if you put ten million volts through it!

Well? And what about Minetest? Because that's a native, complete free running game and engine for Linux. Minecraft is therefore just some kind of (over)hyped product from my point of view. Yes I've played it also in the past and settled with it onto Linux years ago. But after Microsoft bought Mojang and after so many other things: It's just overrated now even if it got nice graphics with shaders.

On my Debian Stretch system, this is in libicu57.
sudo apt install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
apt-file search libicui18n.so.57
