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 the 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The most popular option that may cause problems with Minecraft is outdated drivers or Java SDK.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:

1. Install the latest drivers for the video card and other computer components
2. 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 graphic 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:

1. Find on the Java taskbar
2. Open and go to the Java tab
3. Click View
4. In the window that appears, double-click on the Runtime Parameters field
5. We change everything that is written there in -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!

Instruction video

It's no secret that Minecraft has recently become a very popular game, which even some adults do not mind bombing.

To run Minecraft you need:

Also find a suitable desired version of the game, and then actually play.

It is recommended to have a PC of a good configuration, despite the fact that the graphics in Minecraft are not multi-polygonal and it would seem that the game should be super-light in terms of load on hardware, but there is no Java on which the engine is built is very gluttonous, mainly for RAM, so it is desirable to have 2 GB on board a computer, and of course, for processing both graphic and computing data, it is desirable to have a good CPU and video card.

If you still cannot install the game, update your video drivers.

Despite the fact that the game is made in Java, it is very resource-intensive, it is recommended to play with the latest version of the drivers for the video card installed. This will optimize the performance of the game.

Minecraft crashes

Departures to Minecraft a very rare occurrence. But at least they are, this topic is relevant and this section in this article exists.

If Minecraft hasn't crashed before and suddenly started, analyze your last actions on your PC. What could lead to the breakdown of the game, maybe you installed, downloaded, launched, updated something. Try to get everything back as much as possible, checking the workability and stability of the game.

If there is nothing you can do to return the game to a previous state, it is recommended to use System Restore.

If Minecraft starts to crash from the very first installation and does not make you happy with its stability, try the following:

Install the latest versions:

Game FAQ

Question: I can't craft anything, there is no 3 by 3 window

Answer: Make a workbench. The vast majority of things are crafted through the workbench

Often, the pleasure of the game is spoiled by the arising bugs in minecraft especially if you don't know how to fix them. Below are the most common problem situations:

- error while connecting to server- this means that there are problems with connection to the server, it is observed when the launcher either starts for a long time or does not start at all. In this case, you need to determine what kind of security program blocks Internet access for the launcher;

"Error-connect1" window - appears when Internet access is blocked. You should check which of the programs is running - antivirus, Firewall or firewall ( search - Start -> Control Panel -> Windows Defender);

The "Error-connect2" window is an error similar to the previous one. To fix it, you can recommend either turning off all protection (exclusively for the duration of the game), or adding the launcher to the list of exceptions, which is more acceptable. Do it like this: Windows Firewall -> Exceptions tab -> add -> launcher name... If you nevertheless chose the first path, it is worth checking the antivirus settings, since some programs are still active in the background when disabled, or, conversely, you can switch the program to play mode.

Why Minecraft crashes?

These were errors related to the launch of the game. However, there are also other errors that accompany Minecraft crash... For example, the message "Bad Video Card Drivers" reminds you that the installed drivers are outdated, you need to download new drivers for the existing video card. Message "Out of Memory" means that either there is not enough RAM or there are too many programs running at the moment.

Black screen when launching Minecraft

Sometimes a black screen appears when launching a minecraft game- it signals that a mod has been installed that has not passed authentication control. To fix the error, you can simply delete the META-INF file folder (the root folder is minecraft.jar).

Also, errors with servers are common, which are caused either by the actions of the player or by the developers themselves (which is not uncommon in the latest versions of Minecraft).

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.

Black screen crashes

If a black screen crashes when launching Minecraft, then the problem lies directly with the launcher.

1. Go to the directory AppData -> Roaming ->. Minecraft-> bin... The destination folder may have a different name, namely - "Versions".
2. We delete all files in this folder. They can be dragged into some folder, in case the procedure does not help.
3. 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 for which 2 mods apply 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.

1. Go to the directory "Config".
2. 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.
3. Click on the file with the right key, select "To open with…", put Notepad.
4. 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 advice, please write below in the comments.

If Minecraft crashes, Minecraft won't start, Minecraft won't install, controls don't work in Minecraft, no sound, errors happen, saves not working in Minecraft - we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

Be sure to update your graphics card drivers and other software

Before remembering the worst words and expressing them in the direction of the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not resolved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may contain a large number of not found and not fixed errors.

Keep in mind that games often require the latest version of DirectX to be installed, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website, for stable operation.

Minecraft won't start

Many problems with the launch of games happen due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, having previously disabled the antivirus - files that are often needed for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.

Minecraft crashes. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes. Hangs

First, install fresh drivers on the video card, from this the FPS in the game can significantly increase. Also check the workload of the computer in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that a process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the post-processing settings. Many of them consume a lot of resources and turning them off will significantly increase performance without significantly affecting the picture quality.

Minecraft crashes to the desktop

If Minecraft often crashes to the desktop, try to reduce quality of the graphics. It is possible that your computer simply lacks performance and the game may not work correctly. It's also worth checking out the updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Minecraft

The most common black screen issue is a GPU issue. Check if your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is due to insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then returning to the game window.

Minecraft is not installed. Installation hangs

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for the installation program to work correctly, the declared amount of space is required, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive. In general, remember the rule - the system disk should always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to lack of internet connection or unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus during the installation of the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering it as viruses.

Saves not working in Minecraft

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system disk. Often, save files are stored in the documents folder, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls not working in Minecraft

Sometimes in-game controls do not work due to the simultaneous connection of multiple input devices. Try disconnecting your controller, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If your controller does not work, then remember - officially only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound doesn't work in Minecraft

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is muted in the settings of the game itself and if the audio playback device to which your speakers or headset is connected is selected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.

If you are using an external sound card, check the manufacturer's website for new drivers.

GAMES Tomorrow, the shooter Metro: Exodus will be released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, continuing the story of Artyom, but foreign publishers have already appreciated the project, and at the same time it is quite good. The main problem of the game is the abundance of technical errors
