A lot of time has passed since the release of Minecraft. The game has found its fans who regularly enjoy the gameplay. You can find thousands of Minecraft videos on Youtube, but these are mainly letplays and fan videos. But there are very few videos that explain how to solve the problem with a crash or launch of the game. But this is not a problem: today we will analyze the main bugs and how to deal with them.
Minimum system requirements:
- Processor 1.5 GHz (multi-core) or 2.2 GHz (single-core)
- 1 GB RAM
- OpenGL 2.1+ graphics card
- 120 MB free hard disk space
Everyone who has seen Minecraft at least once knows that the game does not have any resource-intensive special effects and cool graphics. If you have any problems with the game, it is unlikely that this is due to the technical characteristics of your computer, since the game can be run even on Windows 98.
Minecraft crashes on startup
Most often, startup problems occur due to corrupted files. How to solve this problem: delete the server folder located at the root of the game folder and replace it with a newer version.
Another option is to add the Launcher.jar file, which is located in the same root folder with the game, to the exceptions of your antivirus.
Lags and crashes during the game
The most popular option that may cause problems with Minecraft is outdated drivers or Java SDK. The solution is simple:
- Install the latest drivers for the video card and other computer components
- Install the latest Java SDK which can be found at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
Most likely you have installed a new version of the game that requires a new version of Java and drivers, so this should help you fix the glitches.
If Minecraft starts, but it is impossible to play due to strong lags, then you should optimize the graphical settings. Open "Settings", then go to the item "Graphics Settings" and set the following parameters:
- Graphics - "Fast"
- Soft lighting - "Off"
- 3D Anaglyph - Off
- Particles - "Minimum"
- Draw range - "Very close"
- Performance - "Maximum FPS"
- Clouds - "Off"
- Vertical sync - "Off"
These are, in fact, the "lightest" graphical settings, at which the game should not slow down in any way. If even with such settings nothing has changed, then the problem is 99% in the Java SDK (the solution is described above).
You can often hear from players that they have problems after installing some mods. There is nothing but how to remove these mods, you will not advise. The reason is that the add-on either does not fit your version of the game, or simply has broken files. Accordingly, we read the requirements of the mod and update Minecraft to the required version or are looking for another version of this add-on.
Changing Java Runtime Parameters
Sometimes it happens that the Java settings indicate some kind of limitation on the allocation of RAM for the game. It is very easy to check and fix it:
- Find on the Java taskbar
- Open and go to the Java tab
- Click View
- In the window that appears, double-click on the Runtime Parameters field
- We change everything that is written there to -Xms% MEMORY% m -Xmx% MEMORY% m, where% MEMORY% is the amount of minimum (Xms) and maximum (Xmx) RAM that you are ready to allocate for the game.
In conclusion, we remind you that in case of any specific problems, you can always leave us a detailed description in the comments. We will try to help everyone! Have a nice game!

Where to get mods?
On our website, in the section.
How do I install mods?
Read the instructions in the news with the mod.
Where is the "bin" folder, the "minecraft.jar" file?
After the release of Minecraft 1.6 (which was released over a year ago, slopoks), the "bin" folder was replaced with the "versions / version_number /" folder, and "minecraft.jar" with "versions / version_number / version_number.jar", respectively.
Versions with Forge (prior to 1.7.10) do not start at all. Or, when you start them, the launcher restarts (closes and reopens).
Perhaps you have one of the Java 8 updates installed that has a known sorter bug.
Forge patching
1) Download one of the following files:
- For Forge 1.6.4 # 965:.
- For Forge 1.7.2 # 1121 / # 1147:.
- For Forge 1.7.10 # 1208:.
(!) No patch is required for new versions of Forge 1.7.10.
2) Open the Minecraft folder by clicking on the folder icon in the TLauncher main menu.
3) Sequentially go to the libraries / net / minecraftforge / minecraftforge / folder
4) Find a folder whose name ends with the same patch number.
For example, you downloaded the patch for Forge 1.7.2 # 1121 / # 1147: you need to open the 1.7.2-10.12.2.1121 folder (or 1.7.2-10.12.2.1147, as it will be there; if there are both folders, apply the patch to both )
5) Open the JAR file located in this folder with any archiver. Delete the META-INF / folder. Open the cpw / mods / fml / relauncher / folder and copy the file you downloaded into it. Agree to a replacement and close the archiver.
6) Done :)
Installing Java 7.
1) Remove Java 8:
- Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Java 8 Update xx -> Uninstall
2) Install Java 7 if it is not installed:
- Follow this link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloa ..
- Click "Accept License Agreement"
- If you have a 64-bit system, choose "Windows x64 (jre-7uXX-windows-x64.exe)". If not, select "Windows x86 Offline (jre-7uXX-windows-i586.exe)".
* In place of XX, any two-digit number from 51 to 99.
- Run the downloaded file
- I can't play on the server!
1) If the error "something connected with java" appears, then try disabling your antivirus and / or firewall and check your Internet connection.
2) If the error "Bad Login" or "Invalid session" appears, then the error is due to the fact that the server uses a premium authorization model, that is, pirates (or just people with other launchers) to this server will not be allowed. Try to enter this server using the launcher that is offered on the website / page of this server, or use the official one.
I can not play on the local network: writes "Invalid session"
Only premium users can "open" the server for the network. Create a separate server (We have an article) and in its settings write online-mode = false
Avast! Antivirus blocks TLauncher traffic. What to do?
Settings -> Active protection -> Web screen -> Scan traffic only through known browsers
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is blocking the loading of resources. What to do?
Add the following address to the Anti-banner whitelist: http://resources.download.minecraft.net/ad/ad*
What to do if "Minecraft closed with exit code: -805306369"?
The launcher itself advises you on this issue
There is no well-defined reason for this error.
But I know that it takes place:
- Mainly on versions> 1.6.4
- When trying to break glass
- After installing the texture pack (from the server)
- Technical reason: due to a memory allocation error (PermGen, all cases).
Possible solutions:
- Click the "Update client" checkbox and click "Reinstall". Thus, you give the launcher a chance to detect corrupted files and download them again.
- Remove mods and resource packs. Yes, they too can lay their hands on the current situation.
- You can turn off the sound in the settings of Minecraft itself. You will play without sound, but without crashes.

I updated the launcher, but I lost all accounts / save / server / buns. What to do?
Let's start with the fact that nothing is missing. Updated ONLY the launcher and ONLY its configuration file.
Most likely, you placed the Minecraft folder not in the standard directory, but in some other place. Remember where the whole thing lay, and in the launcher settings in the "Directory" field, point to it. Nothing difficult. The launcher will start working again in the old way.

Result: 
Minecraft sandbox is known all over the world. Despite the simplicity of the graphics, its gameplay is more than serious. What can I say if real parks, squares and even entire settlements are being created according to the projects created in the game! The game continues to improve, but the release of mods and updates is not complete without errors and crashes. What to do if the game crashes on startup, or due to mods, causing messages like “Minecraft has crashed”?
The game was created in the Java programming language, which is already interesting in itself. Departure from the game can provoke mods: their conflict, or incorrect installation. Do not forget just about broken files and dropped libraries. In general, there are many reasons. Most often these errors appear in versions 1.5.2 and 1.7.10. Let's proceed directly to solving the problem.
Crash error for the game “Minecraft has crashed!”
We fix crash errors in the game
The simplest and most effective method is uninstall games with mods and its subsequent reinstallation... But if you are not looking for easy ways, then let's try to restore what is.
We work with the system
- We start with reinstalling Java... We delete it after "Programs and Features", after which we must reboot. Download and install it from the official site. And again we reboot.
- Install the latest video card driver from the manufacturer's official website. All kinds of utilities do not always do it correctly, so we recommend that you perform the operation manually.
- Now let's move on to memory. First, in addition to RAM itself, you need a paging file. If you have at least 4 GB of RAM installed on your computer, then there is no particular need for it. However, if this parameter is lower, then increase the paging file by 1024-3072 MB. It is important that when manually setting, the parameters of the minimum and maximum sizes are the same. Secondly, when starting the launcher, you can change the amount of allocated memory. You can set this parameter by trial.
Something went wrong. Payment failed due to technical error - what to do
Black screen crashes
If a black screen crashes when launching Minecraft, then the problem lies directly with the launcher.
- Go to the directory AppData -> Roaming ->. Minecraft-> bin... The destination folder may have a different name, namely - "Versions".
- We delete all files in this folder. They can be dragged into some folder, in case the procedure does not help.
- We start the game from the shortcut on the desktop.
At this point, the game detects the missing files and downloads them from the Internet. Of course, you need a network connection.
A black screen appears even if the version of the game and the mod do not match. Most often it pops up when using add-ons for a newer version of Minecraft. Accordingly, you need to remove the obstacle.
Mod problems
Was everything fine before installing the mods? Do not rush to erase the game, perhaps they only need to be configured correctly.
So, in case of a conflict between mods, a window with an error log appears in front of the user. We are interested in the bottom part, after the line "BEGIN ERROR REPORT ..."... In case of mod conflicts, find the line "... IllegalArgumentException Slot ..."- after "Slot" the block, which is claimed by 2 mods at the same time, is indicated. The line might look different: "... ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ...", followed by the slot numbers. If there are no such clarifications, then the error is in the Forge, or it doesn't match the game / mod version.
To change the slot, you need to go to the game folder and perform the following manipulations.
- Go to the directory "Config".
- Find a file or folder with the name of the mod. Please note that you need to fix the installed, and not previously installed mod. Otherwise, some items in the game will be replaced.
- Right-click on the file, select "To open with…", put Notepad.
- We find in the notebook the slot with the serial number of interest to us, and replace it with an arbitrary one. Important! The new number must consist of the same numbers, i.e., change the three-digit id to a three-digit one, and the four-digit one - to a four-digit one.

Conclusion
These methods describe how to solve the main sources of problems in the game. Of course, it is impossible to take into account all the errors in one article, because there are a huge number of them. In any case, if your Minecraft crashes with a black screen error, or “Minecraft has crashed”, first of all we check these points. If all else fails, then we ransack further through the forums and video instructions. If you have any comments or tips, please write below in the comments.
