Run MinecraftSP.jar. You will get a black screen. Close the application.
Download latest lwjgl.
Replace the contents of /.minecraft/bin with /jar inside lwjgl's zip file.
Replace the contents of /.minecraft/bin/natives with /native/linux inside lwjgl's zip file.
Run MinecraftSP.jar again. Minecraft should work.
Sound seems a little buggy, but runs faster than Win32's versiom under Wine.

Firstly thank you for this. I was able to see the main menu of the game and I only had the black screen problem when I tried to play the game.
I think I have this working properly now and that I have installed it as you say but I am unsure as I am new to Minecraft. Please confirm what I did is correct.
I also have some suggestions for the instructions. Instead of 'Run MinecraftSP.jar' please change this to 'Enter java -jar MinecraftSP.jar in a terminal window'. When you then say download the latest lwigl do you mean running Minecraft with force update or manually downloading the latest lwigl.zip for Minecraft from lwjgl.org - Home of the Lightweight Java Game Libraryⓘ If it is the link please add it to the instructions. I downloaded the latest lwigl.zip from that link but before there was any /bin or bin/natives dir to replace I had to force update Minecraft first - these folders did not exist before updating - was this correct? If so please include it in the instructions. Also, from testing I can see you meant to replace the contents of /.minecraft/bin with the contents of /jar inside lwjgl's zip file, and by replace the contents of /.minecraft/bin/natives with the contents of /native/linux inside the same zip file. At the moment the instructions say to replace the contents with the directories, so you end up with a folder inside a folder instead of files inside a folder.
Is there any work around to stop the sound being buggy?

I have no idea. I'm not too familiar with the linux platform and how its applications run. I'll go ahead and request for your rewrite to be added to the main post, because it's much more coherent than the last one.
EDIT: I did some minor research on the topic and came up with some recommendations/solutions in this thread
