Minecraft Forums

Okay, so I just got a new laptop. Installed Java and went to get Minecraft running and every time I hit the play button the launcher goes away and then it opens back up with a crash.

I've tried both the MSI version and the JAR version. Neither run the game. I can run the Windows 10 version but I don't really want to use that version as I may eventually want to play some modded versions. When I run the MSI version it just says "Game Crash. We are sorry for any inconvenience," but when I run the Jar version, this is what shows up in the launcher log. It doesn't have a crash report.

Minecraft no longer requires that Java be installed, as it installs its own instance of it.

Maybe try uninstalling Java and let the game download its own version?

I'll try that, but I don't think that's the problem. It doesn't require Java anymore, but it should just be standalone now then, not incompatible if it has Java installed.
