OBS is failing to capture Minecraft using the window capture source. It captures other programs just fine, including the Minecraft launcher which is also java. I get the same empty source whether Minecraft is full-screen or windowed. I get the same results using Marco, Compiz, or kwin-x11. Reducing Minecraft's rendering quality doesn't help. I have also tried fiddling with "lock x server when capturing" and "use alpha-less texture format" (admittedly, not knowing what these settings do) without any improvement, except strangely, OBS seems to be able to capture Minecraft if it's in a window and it's being moved while "use alpha-less texture format" is unchecked, but stops capturing again the instant I stop moving it. (Video Demonstration) Analysis shows minor rendering lag, but that should not cause an issue like this. Minecraft appears to be captured properly by the screen capture source, but this is not a good workaround for me, because I don't want other applications to show when switching away from Minecraft.
Log for when Minecraft is windowed.
