      Wayland is the new Display Server Protocol for Linux based Operating-Systems. It replaces the X11-Display Server Protocol.
      Many distributions will ship Wayland in the next months and it is very important that Minecraft, a such well-known game can run native upon Wayland.
      This would increase the security as well as the performance massive.

      Minecraft has several critical issues with the compatibility layer XWayland. (MC-92305) (MC-92318) (And more...)

      In addition, Linux distributions for smartphones like Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch or Tizen are also using Wayland, it would greatly increase the portability and productivity of Minecraft.
