Ihave three official Minecraft accounts (me and my two kiddos). I just started up Technic to run our modpack we've made, and the one computer did it just fine, but the other two are giving me this error. I've tried logging into Microsoft for both computers, and that works totally fine. When I open the Technic launcher, it asks me to add a Microsoft account. When I click that, it opens up a webpage in Chrome, asking me to login to Microsoft. I do that, then it says it did it correctly and I can close that page. I go back to the launcher, and it says "Failed to authenticate with XBox for Minecraft".

I honestly hate how Microsoft does everything. I've never had a program that was so difficult just to start up. It seems every other time me and the kids want to play something like this happens. Usually I can fix it myself, but this time nothing is working.


EDIT: I just tried using the regular Minecraft launcher for my own account. It said it was unable to verifying the products I own, and to check my internet connection... My internet is just fine. So I tried logging out and back in, and that didn't help. It's now telling me, using my own account, that I need to purchase Minecraft, even though I already own it with the account that is logged in.


Alright, so after going on this discord, I found the solution that worked. Keep spamming login to Microsoft account. Or set your default browser to Firefox and it will authenticate through the Firefox window and work. Spamming the login button worked for me. Hope this helps!


I managed to actually play with all three accounts today. At first they all said the same thing about failing to authenticate. However, I clicked the login thing, and it actually worked this time! However however, the one needed me to click the login button a second time.


In research I saw something where it was literally the idiots at Microsoft dropping the ball in some way, so it was actually just bad timing for trying to start playing right when Microsoft was messing with some stuff. It could be at one time it will work, and another it won't, due to no fault of your own. I'm not sure on this, but it's one answer I found. From my personal experience, this makes sense. It is also par for the course for the morons working for this garbage company. They have so much money and such a monopoly that they think they don't need to try, and they end up doing a terrible job, especially when it comes to coding. Hopefully they fix it, and leave it alone, but I won't hold my breath.


So what I have found is this. Log out on the regular launcher, then sign back in. For whatever reason Microsoft just absolutely sucks at account management. I use modpack launchers, and for some reason this helps my modpack launcher be able to sign in correctly as well. I have NO idea why all of it breaks, or why this fixes it, but it's been working for me.


This also worked for me. Just as a heads up, this was caused due to the fact I did not have a locale setup. I followed the steps on the Arch wiki page for Locale and I can now use minecraft-launcher normally, without prepending LC_ALL=C.


I followed the directions how to install the mod to a T, I even installed it fresh multiple times. I even made sure that the jar file contained the mod (correctly) by closing it, reopening (with either winrar or 7zip) prior to launch to make sure it's there. And it is. Launch minecraft from the launcher only to be met with "downloading/updating BTW.jar" YUP, it is definitely overwriting the file.


I noticed that every time I click PLAY it immediately closes the launcher and opens Minecraft. This really bothers me because I want to keep it open so I could see the Minecraft logs while I'm playing. Is there anyway I could do so without the launcher being open or is there a way to keep the launcher itself open?


I noticed some odd dependencies - dependencies that don't seem to be needed for the modern launcher. In particular, the java-runtime one - I edited PKGBUILD on my machine to remove java-runtime, with no ill effect.


Yeah, maybe that's fine, now that I'm not really using Bluetooth audio, one thing PulseAudio doesn't really do properly. PulseAudio just has SBC, and all other codecs are pending a potential future release of GStreamer that may or may not come in the next decade.


@kode54 Or maybe just ditch that shit and switch to PulseAudio. Some time ago, audio on Linux was a nightmare. Then PulseAudio came and fixed it. Everything was working fine until someone decided a working system needed fixing. Now Pipewire is here to bring the nightmare back.


The annoying workaround is to use the graph in something like Carla, qpwgraph, or Helvum, to connect the OpenAL sound source to your sound output device. Or your output graph, if you're using EasyEffects.


I'm having trouble getting Minecraft to launch when I add it to the launcher. If the game is running, I can right click on the icon in the launcher and select "keep in launcher" and the icon stays, but the game won't launch from it.


If I create a launcher on the desktop, then drag that launcher to the unity launcher, the game will start. If I remove the launcher from the desktop, it stays in the Unity launcher, but will not start any more.


At this point, you're practically done, except in this case I've created a little Minecraft starter script, saved in /opt/minecraft.sh, which assumes the minecraft.jar file is also saved in /opt. You can change all these "/opt" references to be wherever you've saved the original minecraft.jar file (be sure to change the Exec value in the minecraft.desktop file too).


(NOTE: for versions older than 1.6.1, you will need to use net.minecraft.LauncherFrame instead of net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap. The internal structure of the file and classes has changed as of 1.6.1.)


If you have a system with more memory or notice poor performance when playing with higher render distances, you can increase the value of the -Xmx1G flag as desired. This tells Java the maximum amount of memory it's allowed to use. -Xmx1G means that it has a cap of 1 GB. -Xmx2G would be 2 GB, -Xmx3G would be 3 GB, and so on.


Open up "Main Menu" by hitting the Dash BFB and search for Main menu. Click on Games and choose New Item. Next, click the spring button and choose the PNG you downloaded and put in the home folder. For Name, call it Minecraft, description, whatever. For command use this:


With the copy/paste desktop file entry Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu Studio displayed the default icon rather than Minecraft's in Unity and Docky. However, for whatever reason it worked when it was dropped on the desktop.



The problem was caused by the extra space after '[Desktop Entry] ' in the answer above. By removing the space with gedit finally the correct icon got displayed.



So here's the corrected desktop file entry for copy/paste to save some suffering: :)


I have two friends who often play minecraft on my computer. They don't have their own accounts, but they want their worlds separate from mine without the hassle of moving around save files. I have already set up two new profiles like this:


Jack has one world, spartacus. Ethan has two worlds, City and Tests. I have one world, Pure survival. I want them and me to be able to get to their worlds, and only our worlds when we select our profiles in the new launcher, no save file moving involved. How can I do this? I am confident that this is able to be done in the new launcher, but correct me if I'm wrong.
