Where to download / How to install Java?

Download the latest version of Java (Java 8) from here https://www.java.com/ru/download/ . Before downloading, check the processor capacity of your computer. In Windows OS, the bit depth can be found through Start / My Computer / Properties - System Type. If this is a 64-bit operating system, then download the 64-x version of Java file.

Possible solutions to the error:

1. Check what you are using latest version mlauncher. If not, download it http://site/downloading
2. https://www.java.com/ru/download/
3. Delete the launcher settings folder. In Windows OS it is located in %APPDATA%\.mlauncher
4. If suddenly your antivirus blocked the launcher, which happens very rarely. Try temporarily disabling protection in your antivirus. And be sure to report this bug to the mlauncher developer
5. If a black screen suddenly appears when you first launch it, try running the launcher as Administrator. When you first start mlauncher, it adds two keys to the registry and requires administrator rights.

Minecraft won't start for me

Possible solutions to the error:

1. Download the latest version of Java (Java 8) from here https://www.java.com/en/download/
2. Delete the minecraft folder completely. In Windows OS - %APPDATA%\.minecraft. Before deleting, do not forget to save the minecraft world in a separate folder
3. Update your video card drivers. Intel (including Intel HD Graphics, Intel Iris and Intel Iris Pro):

It’s very disappointing when Minecraft doesn’t start or starts with an error. Minecraft. exe is the executable file that runs the game. If it doesn't work, it's not a disaster. The file name comes from the file extension. exe "execution", which means execution. To correct this annoying error, you must first determine what the problem is. After identifying the problem, you need to find a solution to the problem. It is possible that the fault will be incorrectly found and the error will not be corrected, that is, all the work will be in vain. Minecraft. exe may not start due to incorrectly or incompletely installed drivers, problems with directx files, or as a result of hardware failure (sound card or bad RAM or video memory).

Perhaps the source of the error is java. The reason for the inconsistency may be that the current version of java is outdated, works with errors, or has never been installed on this computer. The first step is to remove the current version of the program. To do this, you need to click the “Start”, “Settings”, “Control Panel” buttons in a row. Next, in the window that appears, you need to select the “install” and “remove programs” items. After removal, you need to restart your computer. Now you need to go to the official Java website and download from there new version this program. If the error does not go away, then you may need to try to repeat this operation again. If minecraft. exe does not start anyway, then the error is somewhere else.

It is possible that the problem lies in the Minecraft program itself. That is, either the downloaded version turned out to be pirated and it does not work, or Minecraft was not installed correctly or completely. In order to resolve this error, you need to find the folder containing this game. This folder can end up in any part of the computer, so it's best to use a search. Now you need to delete this folder, but not delete the installer. Next, you need to reinstall Minecraft using the installer. If after this Minecraft still does not start, it means that there are problems with the game itself, and you need to download it from another source. When downloading, you need to be wary of all kinds of viruses that lie in wait for inexperienced or careless gamers.

If Minecraft gives an error when starting up that mentions the video card, then it is very likely that the problem is in the driver for the video card. That is, the driver for the video card is out of date or was not installed. If the video card is not known, then in order to find it out, you need to click “start”, “run”. In the input field that opens, you must write: dxdiag. In the window that opens, select the “display” tab. Now into the device, the name needs to be copied. This is the name of the video card. Next, in any search engine, enter the query: “driver for video card (name of video card).” After this, you need to go to the site that has the required driver and select the one that is suitable for operating system.

After downloading the firewood, you need to install it. To do this, you need to right-click on the “my computer” icon. In the menu that opens, click on “properties”. In the window that opens after this, you need to move to the “equipment” tab. On this tab, click the "Device Manager" button. In the window that opens, click on the plus sign next to “video adapters” and right-click on the device that appears. In the menu that appears, click "driver update". In the menu that has already opened, you need to select: “no, not this time” and click on the “next” button. Then you will have to select "install from" again. specified location" and click the "next" button. After that, select "review" and stop at the new downloaded driver. Thus, the answer to the question of why Minecraft does not start will be found.

A classic of the gaming genre, the Minecraft sandbox is probably experiencing its tenth birth. She crawls from platform to platform like a caterpillar, and delivers every time with her gags. Having moved from game consoles to the “Seven”, this toy surprised users with its instability. There is not one, but many reasons why Minecraft does not run on Windows 7. The toy turned out to be very demanding of its environment. But gamers are not afraid of difficulties - after all, we are talking about a real work of art, and the second generation is already in love with this survival simulator. The reasons why the game does not work well for “Seven” can be reduced to the following list:

• You don't have enough random access memory. Yes, the new Minecraft is very power hungry, it requires at least a gig of RAM.
• Minecraft is not compatible with Java. He doesn’t like this environment in its original form and that’s all. Why is unknown. You need a patched virtual machine, which you can download here: http://files.gamai.ru/minecraft_launcher_client_files/jre-7u60-Windows-i586.exe.
• For a normal launch, use the launcher. You can download it directly from here: http://files.gamai.ru/minecraft_launcher_client_files/GamaiLauncher.exe, after which you will need to delete the following folder: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.GamaiLauncher.
• In the game settings, change the language to Russian and set the drawing distance parameter to “Normal”.
• Check your video card drivers. If they are outdated, then download and install new ones.

This should be enough to play Minecraft through the gamai.ru service. After you have done all of the above, launch the launcher and enter your registration data on the server: password and login.

Possible difficulties

Problems may arise while performing these steps. We will tell you how to proceed in this case.

For example:

• Unable to uninstall Java. To deal with this, download, unpack and execute the script: http://files.gamai.ru/minecraft_launcher_client_files/bin.zip. This should help. If this trick doesn't work, try the Microsoft utility: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/ru.
• The famous “Access Violation” is a sure sign that it’s time to change your video card drivers. The division by zero error (DIVIDE_BY_ZERO) is a sign of the same thing. If the adapter is completely old, then invest in a new one. New Minecraft doesn't work on junk.
• Problems may also arise when installing Java. The installer may crash with the error “The system cannot find the specified path.” Try the patch at: http://files.gamai.ru/minecraft_launcher_client_files/JavaMSIFix.exe.
• The launcher refuses to start and does not work - reinstall Java.
• Can't see the list of servers? Lower your firewall control and clean out your hosts file. Remove the last lines from the file with questionable associations.

As a result, everything should start normally. Thank you for your attention.

Sometimes, after installing a client for playing Minecraft and trying to launch it, we see that it does not start or immediately crashes with some error. From this article you will learn about the most common errors in Minecraft and how to fix them.

Minecraft problems on operating systems MacOSAndLinux

If Minecraft refuses to run on these two systems, then we do the following: To work on Linux and Mac, you need data from natives libraries. We download them. Then, install the client for Windows, follow the path - /Users /USERNAME/Library /Application Support /minecraft -area .ru //bin / and replace the files with those downloaded earlier from the archive.

OS problemsWindows

First you need to remove the java present in the system; to do this, use the standard uninstallation procedure (install/uninstall programs) in Windows, or special programs like Revouninstallerpro or CCcleaner. Don't forget to reboot.

Install java which you downloaded from this site. For 32-bit version or for 64-bit version. If you don’t know which one you have, then use the key combination - win +pausebreak: win is a button with windows on your keyboard.

Now we need launcher- which can be downloaded. Unpack it (preferably not to the desktop) and delete the folders:

C:\Users\ NAME_ USER\AppData\Roaming\.site inWindows 7

C:\Documents and Settings\ NAME_ USER\Application Data\. site inWindows XP

Launch the launcher and enter the required login information. Attention: it is recommended to run Minecraft from the root of drive C or from another drive, but not from the desktop. There is another interesting way if the above did not work. You can try to launch the launcher from the archive without unpacking it! I don't know why, but in some cases it works. You can also download a ready-made version of Minecraft for manual installation, version 1.5.1 download.

Problems with deletion Java

For those who stopped at the stage of removing java. Sometimes an error may pop up:

Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

The problem can be solved using this archive. After downloading, you need to find two folders on your system - C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin And C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin You need to copy the contents of the archive into these folders, now you can delete java using the method described above. If it still doesn't work, try using a utility from Microsoft.

Problems with video

Bad video card drivers! --------------- -------- Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode. This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

This problem can be easily solved. You need to update the drivers for your video card. If you don’t know which one is installed on your computer, press the keys win +r in the window that opens we type dxdiag and press enter. In the window that appears, look for the monitor or screen tab or similar (depending on Windows versions) look, remember.

We go to the manufacturer’s official website for the latest version of drivers. For Geforce video cards, for Radeon, for Intel (yes, yes, there are those). On each of these sites you need to select the type of operating system and video card model. If you read carefully, you already know how to look at the OS type and video model.

If the error type is:

# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0629d0ef, pid=2832, tid=780# # JRE version: 6.0_37-b06 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (20.12-b01 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86)#Problematic frame: #C# # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp

Update your video card drivers - Intel.

With the following error we do the same thing, only for Geforce video cards

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6e927621, pid=4360, tid=5220# # JRE version: 7.0_17-b02 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (23.7-b01 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86)#Problematic frame: #V# # Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of Windows # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

And for Radeon the code is like this, the recipe is the same, we update the firewood:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO (0xc0000094) at pc=0x09ca8065, pid=5480, tid=5784# JRE version: 7.0_10-b18 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (23.6-b04 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86)# Problematic frame: # C atiPS+0x4cb0a5 # Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of Windows # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/crash.jsp # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. # See problematic frame for where to report the bug. #

By the way, if in the game itself you observe video jambs, incorrect display, artifacts or similar problems, feel free to update the drivers, even if the system tells you that an update is not required.

The list of servers is not displayed

And also if it is displayed, but does not load or stops in the middle when loading.

The most likely option is that your firewall or antivirus is blocking the connection. To fix this, add Minecraft to the exception. Using the example of a firewall Comodo.

Open it, look for the firewall tab, then click on network security policies. Rules for applications, add. Add your Minecraft executable file there and click OK. Click edit and select the following - allow > udp or tcp protocol > incoming and outgoing direction > apply.

I also recommend checking the hosts file located along the path - c:\windows\system32\drtivers\etc open it using standard notepad. It should contain the text below; anything unnecessary can be safely deleted. Don't forget to turn on showing hidden files. For Win 7, Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Show hidden files, uncheck Do not show hidden files.

Standard hosts:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one#space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual# lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

I hope this article helped you deal with the problems you encountered in Minecraft.

Problems with launching Minecraft occur quite often. There are several reasons. The computer may simply not have the Java add-on, without which the application cannot be used. This add-on is also responsible for graphics, so you should take care of its availability. It’s not difficult to fix the error; just download the component and install it on your computer. Sometimes Java only needs to be reinstalled; to do this, the old version must be uninstalled and a new one installed in its place.

A problem with starting Minecraft may occur due to a video card failure. In this case, the user will see only a black screen in front of him or, in some cases, the image will be displayed incorrectly. There are several ways to solve the problem. Option one is to reinstall the video card drivers. You should download the version from the manufacturer’s official website, this will avoid problems with viruses. After installing the driver, it is recommended to restart your computer. If even after reinstallation the problem cannot be resolved, then most likely you will need to change your computer’s video card.

Problems with Minecraft may occur due to problems with the server. Sometimes interruptions can be resolved by disabling the antivirus, which often blocks game files. You should also try adding the game to the firewall as an exception.

Minecraft launcher does not start on Windows 7, 8, 10

Minecraft may not start if someone tries to hijack the official game servers with their pirated copies. In this case, there is nothing left but to completely remove the game elements from the computer, check the machine for viruses, if any are found, cure the infected files and then reinstall the toy.

The launch of Minecraft may be stopped due to a so-called virus attack. Here we are talking about infecting a computer, aimed not at malfunctioning the game, but at destroying the entire operating system. If such a problem is established, then you need to try to cure the infected computer files. After successful treatment with the file, Minecraft should start.

To avoid problems with running Minecraft, it is recommended to always leave free memory on your computer and update drivers promptly.

What to do if nothing helps?

You need to do some work on your system. We suggest doing this using two useful programs.

1. Update drivers with Driver Booster. This is really cool software that often helps. Updating old drivers to new ones is one of the key requirements for the normal functioning of games and programs on a computer.

You might think that Windows always alerts users when new updates are available. That's right, it shows alerts, but only for updates for Windows and the video card. But besides this, there are many more drivers that need to be updated regularly.

2. PC repair with Reimage Repair. Run this program to analyze your system for errors (and there will be 100% of them). You will then be asked to cure them, either individually or all at once.
