Help

So guys, my Minecraft keeps crashing due to Java SE binary crashing... If there is any tech savvy people who could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I will gladly show screenshots of my crash screen if it will help. Until I get this fixed I will be retiring from the server. (So the sooner someone helps the sooner I'll be back!) thanks!

Edit: yes I have looked up ways of fixing it.

I'm not good with computers but I have a Linux laptop which crashes everything and just crash itself all the time so I have a bit of experience with it. What os do you have?

I run on Windows 8

I run on Windows 8

I never had/used Windows 8 but I think it's pretty similar to 7 (I did use 7).

So you can open your launcher, then after you click on "Play" it crashes?

It's after that part. It happens when I get on a world or server it crashes a few minutes later

Do you have any mods (including OptiFine) or texture packs?

Did you try completely re-installing it? By completely re-installing it I mean only copy-pasting your worlds and screenshots

I had this issue as well. What you need to do is go to your appdata folder (type in %appdata% in the directory bar), and enter the .minecraft folder. Copy the folder named "saves", and the files servers.dat and options.dat. Save/paste that folder and 2 files somewhere safe (like the desktop). Delete the .minecraft folder, and them launch minecraft. You will have to log in again. After getting to the main menu, exit the game. Paste the files you copied earlier back into the .minecraft folder and hit "yes" to overwrite the new "saves" folder.

That worked for me, basically by resetting the version Jar. Maybe it will work for you

Nu remember to copy the "screenshots" folder too before you delete .minecraft xd only if you don't wanna lose your screenies...

Just for clarification you copy then paste saves, servers.dat, and options.dat in desktop along with no other folders?

Also if you delete the .minecraft folder how r u able to put it back into it again???

 

[EPICMATT88]

It's saying I may not delete the Minecraft folder due to "the folder or file in it is open in another program" is this because the files I copied and pasted onto desktop???
