Hey, thanks for the reply
I don't know where you read that I had a reboot pending, but I did reboot my system to no avail.

I did manage to get it to work eventually though, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

it is really, REALLY confusing, and honestly I don't understand any of it, so i'll sum what I did quickly for future reference.

  • minecraft-launcher gave me some GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 17:55:29.308: g_task_return_error: assertion 'error != NULL' failed error, so I looked into it and ran sudo pacman -S glib2. The launcher booted normally then.
  • KDE Wallet wanted me to register my log in information. If I didn't accept, the launcher would shut down and I'd have to reboot and reinstall glib2 to try again or i'd get the same issues. So I accepted, input a password and I can now play minecraft.

running it with sudo still gives me a white blank screen though.
I have more details if (and I doubt it) anyone wants to look into this weird issue.
So yeah, thanks I guess.
