Minecraft Forums

Attempting to log in to the Minecraft game results in the game crashing.
I reinstalled the game twice, reinstalled Java (both version 6 and 7) twice, tried launching from the application and the Launcher.jar file.

Launching from the jar file gives me this crash message.

Gotta update lwjgl to the update that fixes this issue: http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php/topic,4711.msg25596.html#msg25596

Okay, I downloaded the folder, but what do I do with it? Just running it, doesn't do anything for Minecraft.

You have to put the jars folder contents it into the ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin and the native folder into the bin/native subfolder. Good luck! Mixed results so far it seems.

That would be brilliant, but part of the problem it seems is that it didn't download the bin folder properly.

Okay, I found the bin folder. (Darn new Mac's try hiding everything from you) and I've replaced the files, but to no avail. Now I just get a black screen that never loads and the spinning beach ball of doom.
