It doesn't just run Minecraft, it now runs a smooth gpu accelerated GNOME desktop including things like Youtube videos: https://cdn.masto.host/sigmoidsocial/media_attachments/files...

This doesn't yet work out of the box but the next few months will be very exciting.

Man, that's so cool. When things became quiet around the GPU work and Alyssa said something along the lines of "we are very far away" I lost hope a bit. That hope is back!

I think the quote you're thinking of was a reference to modern OpenGL and Vulkan support, not accelerated graphics in general. Older OpenGL is a lot easier to implement, and sufficient for an accelerated desktop and games like Minecraft.

Marcan and Alyssa have been saying for a while that we were on track to get GPU acceleration in the near-ish future.
