So what predicated this was the young man who bought my SGI mousepad at VCFE 2022 -- Usually goes by DirtPiper (I forget if he's here on IN). 

We have been talking on Reddit and discord about it, and here's what we discussed:

He wants to get Minecraft Alpha, aka VERY early MC, on IRIX. I did the liberty of checking build reqs for JDK6, (JDK5 is another option). 

We need: CUPS. that's it. Assuming sound/other IRIX-related issues (Ahem, BE MIPS!) don't get in the way. 

Now, I've never built Java, but I sympathize with the man and I wanna help out, so for those interested in a semi-modern Java, let's use this as a discussion area.

Outright, I suspect we may need GCC. Otherwise, I suspect that Java lacks a JIT and thus we will needto work on that... I'm not able to fix that. Not sure if Java even required JIT here for it. 

But anyways, are me and DirtPiper alone or not? I'm willing to help, however I can.
