  A quickie episode by <a href="https://micro.fragdev.com/windigo/">Windigo</a>
  that covers a fix for the "Sticky Keys" bug in <a href=
  "https://minecraft.net">Minecraft</a> on Linux.
</p>
<p>
  The "Sticky Keys" bug causes the Minecraft client to act as if a button
  hasn't been released when it has - which causes your character, Steve, to
  suffer some awful consequences as a result (depending on what situation
  you are in when the bug occurs).
</p>
<p>
  Upgrading the <a href="https://lwjgl.org">LWJGL</a> libraries/drivers that
  come with Minecraft usually fixes this bug. To upgrade the drivers, do the
  following:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    Download an updated version of the LWJGL libraries
    <ul>
      <li>
        <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/Official%20Releases/LWJGL%202.8.0/lwjgl-2.8.0.zip/download">LWJGL 2.8.0</a>
        - Not the latest release, but worked great for me
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
    Copy the following files from <code>lwjgl-2.8.0/jar/</code> in the zip
    file you downloaded to <code>/home/[youruser]/.minecraft/bin/</code>,
    replacing the existing files there:
    <ul>
      <li><code>jinput.jar</code></li>
      <li><code>lwjgl.jar</code></li>
      <li><code>lwjgl_util.jar</code></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
    Copy all of the files from <code>lwjgl-2.8.0/natives/</code> in the
    zip file you downloaded to
    <code>/home/[youruser]/.minecraft/bin/natives/</code>, again replacing the
    existing files there
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  If you still encounter issues with the new versions of the libraries, try a
  newer or older version until you find one that works with your system. 2.8.0
  happens to work for my setup (Debian Stable w. Sun Java), but YMMV - your
  Minecraft may vary.
