      The Bug:

      Some of the links under the "Third-party licenses" section in the Minecraft Launcher redirect to URLs that either contain a suspended domain, a typo in the protocol, a deleted subdirectory, or does not trigger at all.

      Below is a table of all affected licenses as displayed in the Launcher, with descriptions of the underlying issue for each URL.

      Affected Licenses:

      License Title As Displayed in the Launcher Current URL Underlying Issue Status
      UTF8-CPP hhttps://... Typo in the URLs protocol. "hhttps://" should be "https://". Fixed
      TinyXHML2 http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml2/ The account for the domain has been suspended.  
      @sentry/minimal https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/tree/master/packages/minimal The URLs subdirectory "/minimal" no longer exist. The GitHub file was deleted on May 30, 2022.  
      zlib   Missing link.  
      shared_mutex   Missing link.  
      Redux   Missing link.  
      enquire.js   Missing link.  

      Steps to Reproduce:

      • Open the Launcher and go to "Settings" > "About" > "Third-party licenses".
      • Locate the affected links as listed in the table above.
      • Click on the links.

      →  The redirects for zlib, shared_mutex, Redux, and enquire.js does not trigger.
      →  The redirect to http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml2/ ends on http://www.grinninglizard.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi.
      →  The redirect to https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/tree/master/packages/minimal ends on a 404 error page for a non-existent web page.

      Observed Behavior:

      The clicked links returns an invalid page leading to a 404 error, or is unable to be opened.

      Expected Behavior:

      The clicked links returns a valid page to the library corresponding to the license.
