Minecraft Forums

Hi guys, (I am not sure if this goes here or in the unmodified minecraft client support section)
recently after updating my 2013 macbook air to OSX 10.9 Mavericks, I have been unable to play minecraft. When open the launcher, it says I cannot connect to minecraft.net, and to fix the error before trying again.
Here is the main error:
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

I have tried looking through the settings, and I cannot find a setting that is disallowing access to minecraft.net by the application. My internet is on, and minecraft.net isn't blocked I checked as I can access it on chrome.

I have already tried downloading again, restarting my computer etc but to no success.

Thanks, and I really appreciate any help.
Please say if you need more information.

I'm having the same problem. I'll post back if I find anything on this issue. I really want to get this fixed today since Minecraft 1.7 is out! today!

Have you re downloaded java?

Yes I have, and I just downloaded it again, restarted, etc and no it didn't work, sorry.

Java 7 makes minecraft not work. Just install this and it will work perfectly normal. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

tried that version of java as well...still not working for me although my error is for multiplayer, when i try to join ANY server its telling me connection time out... I've never played mine craft prior to osx 10.9 but would like to try out the multiplayer ...if anyone knows of any solution please let me know... i have tried everything i have found thus far via google and so far nothing. if i find a solution i will let you all know.

Hi all,

I'm having the same issue since updating to Mavericks. The output from dev console is below. Any help is appreciated, thanks !

I continue to have a problem with LAN multiplayer. I have 1.6.0_65 listed and minecraft launches without crashing on my mavericks mac but on my PC I cannot even see LAN games hosted on the MAC and when I host on my PC, my mac can see them but not connect. What's going on?

it is weird, because I can open minecraft but my friends cant see my lan,with the same wifi network.

I'm having the same problem. I have the same computer, and same OS X Mavericks version and stuff. Minecraft isn' working for me though.

Has anybody found a fix for this?
