Hello! I've got a pretty rare issue with MC based on all the googling I've done.

Running plain ol' Minecraft I have no sound. Everything else on my computer works, just not MC. Also I've got a strange icon in place of the crafting table.

I've tried:

Erasing everything minecraft related and re-installing

checked sound settings (in mc and on comp) to ensure MC is enabled

pushed F3 + S

All sound files are in their proper places (none missing) even pack mc.meta though when going to select resource packs the default says "missing mc.meta".

After googling I found info that when using a cracked/unofficial launcher Mojang made it so the game can't locate resource files like sound, icon (that strange icon is used as default by MC), and language. This sounds like my problem exactly.

But I'm not using a strange launcher. Just the one from minecraft.net after I bought the game. HOWEVER around last month I was sent some Aether MC files (trying to get the orig. mod to work) which included an old launcher. The person who sent it could have modified it for all i know.

The problems started shortly after. I've long since erased all the files sent to me but the MC problem persists.

Any suggestions? Anything else it could be? I'd appreciate any help!

Thank you so much for the suggestion! Tried it out and it wouldn't launch. Got this in the log:

version: 0.4.5

Minecraft folder is:

C:/Users/(edited)/AppData/Local/Temp/Rar$EXa0.751/MultiMC/instances/Vanilla/minecraft

Java path is:

java

Java Arguments:

[-XX:HeapDumpPath=MojangTricksIntelDriversForPerformance_javaw.exe_minecraft.exe.heapdump, -Xms512m, -Xmx1024m, -Duser.language=en, -jar, C:/Users/(edited)/AppData/Local/Temp/Rar$EXa0.751/MultiMC/jars/NewLaunch.jar]

Could not launch minecraft!

Could it be a java issue??

Well,fiddled with Java and MultiMC worked! Glorious sound!!! And no more strange icon! Thanks so much, lekrosa!!!

So does this mean something is wrong with my regular launcher I wonder?? Would still like to figure it out.

Thanks so much again!!

Was MultiMC in a zip file? That directory looks like a zip file. Oh well, you go it working now.
