Hello everyone, I am having a problem with the launcher or minecraft's files. Whenever I open the minecraft launcher and click "Play" It takes about five minutes for the actual game to open and allow me to play. This is really annoying because I constantly play on servers that are on different updates. So each time I want to play on a different one, I have to close it, reopen the launcher, and wait five minutes for the game to load. I think this is a problem with the files because when I click "Play" above it, it says several loading things such as "Downloading/sounds/music/nether" or something like that. It does this every time. Please someone help me fix this issue!
