I can see the old NixOS issue was not properly followed through with by the last reporter 2 years ago, so I will continue where they left off:

NixOS requires appimage-run to launch appimages in their correct environments, so the result of the command
MCPI_DEBUG=1 appimage-run ./minecraft-pi-reborn-client-2.5.3-amd64.AppImage is attached below.

The end line, unable to find libopenal, possibly indicates to me that libraries are staticall link to the libraries folder, which doesn't work with NixOS' store system.

On Debian the solution is sudo apt install libopenal1, but obviously Nix isn't Debian 😄
However, this SE answer might help: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/190736

Well this is odd, I've been able to force the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to acknowledge the path to libopenal.so.1, but now I'm getting a "wrong ELF class" error.

As an additional note, steam-run also seems to add the correct libraries into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which results in the same libopenal.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 error when running steam-run appimage-run minecraft-pi-reborn-client-2.5.3-amd64.AppImage.

I looked into this issue a little more and I think the version of openal nix reads from in say a steam-run only supports 64 bit and not 32 bit, hence the wrong ELF class. Seems hard to fix without NixOS intervention.

file libopenal.so.1.23.1:
libopenal.so.1.23.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped
