Minecraft Forums

I created a server, and, I did everything correctly, cuz i compared all the steps with every tutorial I could find. I did it for 1.8. When I opened minecraft up, it said---

You dont have to read the whole thing. Although, If you are a good programmer, pls try to find out what to do. I open minecraft, it has the blue loading bar at the bottom to show what it downloads, and goes to the game log. It works for every other version though, but only 1.8/1.8.1 has the server on it. I used the server program underneath the minecraft download link. Not any other custom minecraft server program.

looks like its a problem with java try re-installing java to fix the problem

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe



if that dosent work try re-installing minecraft backup mods saves resourepacks etc frist

All my files were already backed up. I deleted my minecraft server, and java, re-installed java, but it still will not open. I have the latest version of java though.

Does this file that it is complaining about exist?

If not, then is MC automatically choosing this in your launcher profile, or did you manually point it there? Is the checkbox checked or unchecked?
If the box is checked, you are forcing to use a specific Java that isn't there. Uncheck the box and let MC choose, or leave it checked and change it to an actual Java installation. If the box is unchecked then MC is somehow choosing a non existent Java. The fastest way to fix might be to check the box and enter the path to a real Java.

how do you do that?

I do not know where u find the file directory

you find it in C:\Users\ANDREA\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
