Minecraft Forums

When i press the play button the blue bar starts to load but then just stops like nothing happened.

I had played minecraft about thirty minutes prier to this happening and im not sure what did.

if ANYONE has a suggestion please tell.

I've deleted and reinstalled minecraft and the launcher and have done the same with my launcher.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean it 'just stops'? Does the program crash back to the launcher? You would recognise this by a bunch of (seemingly random) lines of text appearing on the screen after the crash.

If it does, copy/pasting your error log would help a great deal in efforts to help rectify your issue.

no the launcher doesnt crash. the loading bar just stops and goes back to like i never pressed play.

but after i press play and go onto the development console one of the lines says this:

10:28:30 ERROR]: Couldn't launch game
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" (in directory "/Users/Jared/Library/Application Support/minecraft"): error=2, No such file or directory

but this is what the whole thing says:

Stop spamming the ^&*([email protected]!$ forum.

This is the one and only post of the half dozen you've made that contains enough information for anyone to help you.
It also has enough information for you to help yourself.

Haha Sorry

the one i'm missing is the"/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" but i have no idea how to get that back.

It's a problem with JVM. Uninstall and then reinstall Java.

That didn't work
