my minecraft I guess decided to delete a needed folder for all 1.12 versions of minecraft 1.11 works fine same for 1.13 but anything in 1.12 doesn't this is the error I get
Unable to save download. 1.12.json
Name: 1.12.json
URL: https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/assets/1.12/e75e9535754c6f2158b0b18b35660f45c4495d78/1.12.json
Error details: Attempting to move successful download to C:/Users\armorpower\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\assets\indexes/1.12.json
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
Filename on disk: 2626-f9fa-4e58-fd17
Path: C:\Users\ARMORP~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2626-f9fa-4e58-fd17
Exists: file
plz reply if you know why this is a thing and maybe how to fix uninstalling and re installing minecraft itself didn't work
AFAIK it is downloading the file correctly since it's saying
attempting to move successful download
but the line
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
seems to indicate that something else is attempting to access the file at the same time as the launcher is trying to copy it over
Have you got another instance of minecraft running in the background ??
or notepad opened showing the file in question ??
I don't know if this method will work, but give it a try
> Manually download the file (Clicking on the URL link in your original post should do it) somewhere different (desktop perhaps ?)
> Try & Copy this file into the folder mentioned (C:/Users\armorpower\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\assets\indexes\)
Although I'm a little confused because on my Minecraft the 1.12.json file is actually in the "\.minecraft\assets\" folder
