Minecraft Forums

Have tried practically everything possible to try to solve this problem I could think of. Even tried to find a solution online but that seemed almost impossible. Tried deleting .minecraft, tried to reinstall with a new launcher. Tried updating java as well.

This all started after I tried to install some resource packs, updated with mcpatcher and ever since then no matter what I do I always receive this error.

So what happens is trying to play on an offline single player map the game will just crash out. However trying to play on a server I receive this error:

"java.lang.NullPointerException: group"

This crash is typically caused by Antivirus or Firewall software that's blocking Minecraft from opening sockets.

This would even effect single player crashes as well?

Try letting minecraft through your firewall/anti virus. Make it an allowed program.

Single player in minecraft consists of two threads (client and server) that talk to each over a socket, so yes.
