You need to install base-devel package before attempting to install anything from the AUR. Run:
sudo pacman -S base-devel
and then try “makepkg -si”. See the wiki. Also you can install yay and skip all the fuss (nevertheless you should know how to install from AUR by hand). If you want to, just run:
sudo pacman -S yay
and then you can install Minecraft with:
yay -S minecraft-launcher
