Invalid distance too far back incorrect data check
size of 3 is below server threshold of 256
length wider than 21-bit
size of 64 is below server threshold of 256
or something similar to these errors. I have tried completely removing minecraft and java, and then reinstalling but this did not change anything. I get this error on any server that I join. I am using the .exe launcher with no mods and trying to join an unmodded server.
I can not figure out what is wrong. Has anyone else had issues similar to this or know what I can to do to get minecraft working. Any help is appreciated.
Which launcher version are you using? That could have something to do with it, or what Minecraft Version are you running? It also depends on what servers your trying to get onto, some of them are outdated or it's with the server it's self. It could also be your computer, sometimes if they're too old they tend to glitch. if your using a launcher that needs Java, update Java (if it's not) or get the new launcher. They are a number of things it could be.
Maybe try asking the owner of the server if it's their server or your game that's not working. Even if it's any server, there are a GIANT amount that don't work. Try the Hive. I don't remember the IP but you could search it. if it STILL doesn't work, Contact Mojang.
Hopefully this helped a little. I'm not an expert, but I know a bit about the topic.
Thanks for the reply. Using the 1.8.3 and using the new launcher. Removed and reinstalled Java. My computer is only 2 years old. I will try to contact Mojang. Thanks for the help

Hello and good day,
I need some help trying to get my client to work. Any time I try to connect to an online server i get an error, which seems to change each time.
The error I get is: Connection lost
Internal exception: io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: java.util.zip.DataFormatException:
followed by:
