What to do if the minecraft game does not start?
- The minimum size of RAM to run the game is 1 GB. If less, then increase the RAM.
- Problems with Java. Reinstall Java.
- The username must be written in Latin and without punctuation.
- There may also be a problem with the video card drivers. Update them.
Popular game Minecraft First was released in 2011, but with each subsequent year it only gains popularity.
Sometimes gamers may encounter a fairly common problem when the game does not start. Let's take a closer look at the main reasons that can cause a lack of startup:
1) The toy was written using the Java programming language. Thus, sometimes it is Java that is problematic. You must completely uninstall Java and reinstall it by rebooting your computer.
2) If the problem persists, you should focus your attention on the video card. Feel free to upgrade your video card with new drivers. This action will be useful not only for the toy, but also for the operation of the computer.
3) The next step is to check your antivirus program. It is necessary to check whether the antivirus is blocking the toy, considering it a malware. If blocking occurs, then it is necessary to exclude the toy from the black list.
I also suggest that you familiarize yourself with the videos below, which are aimed at curing such a problem as Minecraft not starting.
Perhaps your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements required by this game - minecraft - which, by the way, is quite resource-intensive.
Does it give any error code? After all, it is the error code that speaks most about the problem.
For me it just won’t start. When it turns on, the launch window pops up. I launch it, but it doesn’t turn on. It doesn’t appear in the dz
Startup errors minecraft games may be different and the solution to this problem depends on the type of error. Perhaps this video will help you solve your startup problem.
Often the solution to the problem of launching various games lies in reinstalling the video card drivers. Try searching minecraft bad video card drivers.
I have the same problem and what driver should I download it says: Minecraft was unable to start because they could not find the OpenGL accelerated mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating your graphics card driver.
I don’t know what to do now
There are quite a few reasons, but if minecraft does not start, then you need to at least update the software (drivers) for the video card, this can help in many cases, and the new one usually brings with it a lot various solutions that are really needed.
Perhaps in some cases it will only help to download the game again.
It all depends on the power of your computer, check the system requirements for Minecraft and compare them with the parameters of your computer, you may also have downloaded a 64-bit version of the game, download the 32-bit version, it may open, and just in case, update all the drivers!
If you have problems launching Minecraft, updating your video card driver helps.
If you encounter errors like this
Updating the drivers for the video card will also help.
You can read more about launch problems and how to solve them here
The solution to the problem depends on the error. For example, I had the error Bad video card drivers. The solution was to reinstall the driver for the video card. This driver can be downloaded on the Internet, found on the game disc, or searched in your installation disks for a video card.
The minecraft game may not start for several reasons, mainly due to drivers, update the video card driver.
Also, the game may not start if the computer has little RAM; the game requires at least 1 gigabyte.
The most common reason that the Minecraft game does not start is that there are problems with the video card drivers; you just need to update them. If the problem is not solved, then you should check the availability of free random access memory(must be at least 1 gig).
There may be several reasons why Minecraft won't start. Depending on the cause and solution.
It’s very unpleasant when you can’t do something in Minecraft. It’s even more unpleasant when the game lags. But when Minecraft doesn’t start at all, then your head is against the wall! Therefore, in order to preserve your property, this article was written. Take pity on your property - read the manual.
So, Minecraft won't start. Why? What to do? There can be several reasons why the most annoying problem occurs. Let's consider both the reasons and possible solutions.
Problems with Java
Probably the most common Minecraft problem is related to java not working correctly. Take drastic measures:
- Remove all Java components. In the Control Panel, find the corresponding item. Alternatively, you can use a third-party program, for example, CCcleaner.
- Reboot.
- Download Java. You need to download the option that suits you. If your OS is 32-bit, install java for such a system. If the axis is 64-bit, download and install the appropriate one. To find out your version, the key combination will help you - win+pausebreak.
- Download the launcher. Unpack it (preferably not “put” it on your desktop).
- Delete folders: if you have Win 7, then this one
And if you haven’t mastered 7 yet, but are using Windows XP, then this
- Launch the launcher. Then enter your registration information. And again, try not to launch it from the Desktop. From disk “C”, from “D”, but just go around the table. If this tip doesn't help, try running the launcher without unpacking it first. In some cases, this is what helps with problems with Minecraft.
What to do? Try using the utility from the ubiquitous Microsoft - "Fix it". This program allows you to find and fix problems that prevent you from installing and uninstalling applications. It should help you too.
It's all the video processor's fault.
Java seems to be sorted out. Let's assume that everything is OK with this, but Minecraft still won't start. You've already tried 7 or 70 times, and evil rock continues to hinder. Calm down, it’s quite possible that rock has nothing to do with it. If a window pops up, as in the screenshot, then the problem lies in the video card.
Well, this “lemon” can easily be turned into a delicious “lemonade”. It is enough to update the video card drivers. If you have forgotten, or even don’t know what kind of card you have, click "win+r". A window will pop up in which you write "dxdiag". Confirm your desire to be informed by pressing “Enter”. A window will pop up again, containing a lot of information about your PC. Find the “screen” or “monitor” tab (depending on your Windows, whether you have Windows 7 or others). Find out what brand the video card is, look at what model it is. Then go to the manufacturer. Each of them, be it Radeon, Geforce, Intel or others, will require you to indicate the OS type and card model. You already know the model, and look at the operating system in the same place where you found out the details about the video processor. Knowing the technical nuances, download and install the driver.
It won't hurt you to update your drivers even when Minecraft starts up just fine, but during the game some problems related to the video appear, for example, something is not displayed correctly. Moreover, the system can convince you that no updates are needed. You send the system to the farm, and follow the good advice.
Troubles with a list of servers
It happens that Minecraft does not start because the list of servers is not shown. Or it appears, but there are problems loading. Most likely, an antivirus or firewall is blocking the connection. You can fix this problem by excluding Minecraft from the list of “enemies”. Dig around here and there, and “ask” them not to pay attention to the game.
Classic game 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're talking about about a real work of art, 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 RAM. 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" - sure sign that it’s time to change the 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.

Where is the "bin" folder, the "minecraft.jar" file?
After the release of Minecraft 1.6 (which came out more than a year ago, slowkey), 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 (before 1.7.10) do not launch at all. Or when they are launched, the launcher restarts (closes and opens again).
You may have installed one of the Java 8 updates that has a known sorter bug.
Patching Forge
1) Download one of the following files:
– For Forge 1.6.4 #965: .
– For Forge 1.7.2 #1121 / #1147: .

* In place of XX is any two-digit number from 51 to 99.
– Run the downloaded file
- I can’t play on the server!
1) If the error “something related to java” comes up, 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 simply people with other launchers), on this server they won't let me in. Try logging into this server using the launcher that is offered on the website/page of this server, or use the official one.
I can't play local network: says “Invalid session”
Only premium users can “open” a server for the network. Create a separate server (We have an article) and write online-mode=false in its settings

What to do if "Minecraft closed with exit code: -805306369"?
The launcher itself advises you on this issue
There is no strictly defined reason for this error.
But I know that it occurs:
- 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”. This way you give the launcher a chance to detect damaged files and download them again.
- Remove mods and resource packs. Yes, they too can lay their paws on the current situation
- You can turn off the sound in the settings of Minecraft itself. You will play without sound, but without crashes.

Result: 
Minecraft or Minecraft is one of the most popular indie games today, which has tens of thousands of loyal fans around the world. Some players who are just starting to join this new gaming space encounter problems with the game. In this article we will try to figure out why the Minecraft game does not work and how it can be fixed.
Missing or outdated version of Java on your computer
The Minecraft game is written in the Java programming language and without the corresponding software Minecraft will not run on your computer.
First you need to find out what type operating system installed on your computer - 32-bit or 64-bit. Based on this, download the latest version of the program from the official java.com website and install it on your device. If you already have Java installed, just connect to the Internet and run automatic update systems to the latest version.
The game is saved on the desktop
For many people, Minecraft does not start because the program launcher was placed on the desktop. We recommend initially saving it to some other folder on your computer to avoid problems later.
Problems with the video card
Another popular problem why minecraft does not work is a problem with the operation of the video card. If, while loading the game, the message “Bad video card drivers!” pops up in front of you, this means that you need to update the drivers. Try downloading from the manufacturer's official website (for example, use the nVidia or Radeon websites) and run the drivers for your video card model on your computer. Updating drivers will also be useful if the game starts but is not displayed correctly.
Server problems
If you do not see a list of servers in Minecraft, the connection to the remote server may be blocked by an antivirus or firewall. Of course, the easiest way to solve this problem is to simply turn them off for the duration of the game. But we do not advise you to do this. It's better to dig into the settings and add all files and connections related to the game to the exclusion list.
Those who are looking for an answer to the question of why the Minecraft server is not working may have some problems with the host file. In order to check the correctness of this belief, first enable the display of all hidden folders on the computer, and then open the host file in Notepad, which is located at c:\windows\system32\drtivers\etc. Check to see if there are any redundant or suspicious entries. If there is something unnecessary, feel free to delete these entries, save the changes and try to connect to the Minecraft server again.
Connecting mods
If you want to make any modifications with the standard version of the game, you must download special mod files and install them correctly on your device.
Those who have a question when playing Minecraft, why mods don’t work, most likely simply install them incorrectly. Below is detailed instructions how to do it right.
To be able to easily install and manage mods, you will need to download ModLoader, Minecraft Forge (for game version 1.6 and higher), Player API, LiteLoader.
- Find the minecraft.jar file on your device.
- Open it with an archiver or special program Mod Installer.
- Next, you will need to delete the META-INF folder.
- Download the archive with the mod you are interested in to your device. Be extremely careful, as some mods can harm your computer and contain various viruses. Therefore, download mods only from trusted sources and from developers you know.
- Transfer the mod files to the minecraft.jar folder.
- If you are using a version of the game before 1.5.2, then from the archive with the mod the files from the resources folder will need to be transferred to the .minecraft folder, and from the bin/jar folder they will need to be extracted to minecraft.jar.
- Starting with game version 1.6, Minecraft Forge is used to work with mods. To install the mod, its files will need to be unzipped into the 1.6.2-Forge9.10.0.804 folder, after which all you have to do in the launcher is select the appropriate game profile.
