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.
Terminal seems to recognize 'minecraft-launcher' as a command, as it doesn't throw any errors, but when I run 'ps -au grep minecraft', the only process running is my command. When I run it from the desktop, I get the spinning cursor (which I imagine means it's doing something), but then it just disappears and nothing happens.
According to the Minecraft Wiki page for the Launcher,it should be possible to run the Minecraft launcher using username and password prefixes from the command line and go directly to the game instead of through the launcher.
To run Minecraft with Forge (change C:\Users\nov11\AppData\Roaming/.minecraft/to your MineCraft path :) [Just for people who are a bit too lazy to search on Google...]Special thanks to ammarx for his TagAPI_3 (Github) which was used to create this command.Arguments are separated line by line to make it easier to find useful ones.
Besides setting some basic variables near the top after the functions, it calls a get_classpath function that reads for example /.minecraft/versions/1.16.5/1.16.5.json, and loops over the property libraries array, checking to see if each object (within the array), is supposed to be added to the classpath (cp variable). whether this library is added to the java classpath is governed by the should_use_library function, deterministic based on the computer's architecture and operating system. finally, some jarfiles that are platform specific have extra things prepended to them (ex. natives-linux in org/lwjgl/lwjgl/3.2.1/lwjgl-3.2.1-natives-linux.jar). this extra prepended string is handled by get_natives_string and is empty if it doesn't apply to the current library
As of 4/29/2017 the Minecraft launcher for Windows extracts all native files and places them info %APPDATA%\Local\Temprandom folder. That folder is temporary and is deleted once the javaw.exe process finishes (when Minecraft is closed). The location of that temporary folder must be provided in the launch arguments as the value of
Also, the latest launcher (2.0.847) does not show you the launch arguments so if you need to check them yourself you can do so under the Task Manager (simply enable the Command Line tab and expand it) or by using the WMIC utility as explained here.
Just create this batch command file in your game directory.Bat file takes one argument %1 as the username.
Also, I use a splash screen to make pretty.You will NOT be able to play online, but who cares.
Adjust your memory usage to fit your machine (-Xmx & -Xmns).
NOTE: this is for version of minecraft as of 2016-06-27
If you want to make a custom launcher using the command line then good luck,the only way to login to the minecraft jar(IE: the way the launcher does it) is to send a post request to with the username,password,launcher version, and a RSA key. It then parses the pseudo Json, and uses the session token from that to authenticate the jar from the command line with a load of arguments.
There is no sound ingame (worlds and menus are silent) on any minecraft version. I'm using pipewire. All other multimedia works fine (playing music, videos etc). Have anyone encountered something like this before with this launcher?
@Jackleson The system's keychain aka. "OS level password manager" is used to securely store your session keys and is normally unlocked when you login to your computer. The launcher uses it on all systems, including GNOME/MATE, macOS and Windows, and so do all modern web browsers.
bryiewes,Yeah I figured out that it was a Manjaro issue, but now it simply will not install now since it leaves bad config or something behind. Manjaro just randomly over complicates the user experience and not because it is hard to understand just that nobody asked for that particular interaction. KDE Wallet is just badly introduced to the user. 90% of folks don't expect an OS level password manager to just shove itself into how they normally interact with a computer. worse its broken anyway. besides asking "why the fuck did it show up when i am literally just installing minecraft" it errors out when you select any option.
What do you mean by key nonsense. Also, manjaro has it's own issues that cause further issues. Don't try to bring the topic of "it's not required on windows" onto this site, windows and arch Linux are drastically different. My suggestions for your problem are to a. Use regular arch b. Use prism launcher (multimc was great, this is better, and polymc can't be trusted.) c. Don't play minecraft.
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 have been playing minecraft for a long time on ubuntu but I have always used the old 'java' launcher.Since there is a new launcher I would like to update minecraft to that. I have searched the internet but can't update it whatever I do even reinstalling the game won't fix it.Can anyone help me?
Create your own mod builds in just one click with our new modpack system! A huge catalog of mods, maps, resource packs with a full description and screenshots is waiting for you. The system helps to avoid various errors as it checks the compatibility of each mod installed by you. There are backup and manual installation systems. At the same time, everything is absolutely free, and without any restrictions on our part. Just enjoy and do not forget to recommend our launcher with mods to your friends!
Obviously, you have seen more than one launcher for the game but surely found a lot of shortcomings and flaws in them, so you are here to get the maximum emotions from Minecraft because of the huge amount of content and features provided by us. We are one step ahead of many and will always be because the development of TLauncher does not cease even for one day!
MultiMC is an alternative launcher for Minecraft. It allows you to have multiple, cleanly separated instances of Minecraft (each with their own mods, resource packs, saves, etc) and helps you manage them and their associated options with a simple and powerful interface.
MultiMC is based on the code hosted on GitHub. The source is only provided for the purpose of collaboration. The changes in the binary distribution compared to code are the inclusion of branding and API keys required for the launcher to function, along with packaging-related adjustments.
When downloading and installing the minecraft launcher from the offical website, there is no step for me to choose the install path and its always in C:\XboxGames. Anyway for me to change the path into C:\GameLaunchers?
Yes! When I downloaded and ran the legacy .msi launcher install from Mojang, it asked where I wanted to install the launcher. Set that to your target directory and you are good to go! You might experience issues because Windows is very picky about where you store your files. C:/ is your root directory, and Windows likes you to store and install your stuff in your user directory.
If this still causes problems and simply doesn't work or you want an easier-to-use experience, you might consider using a different launcher like MultiMC, CurseForge, or ATLauncher. They make it significantly easier to add mods and manage the location of your installations. I assume you're using Windows, so all these launchers are available for you to use. I have used all these launchers and I personally recommend CurseForge. It is very user-friendly and has access to arguably the largest modpack database in the Minecraft community.
If you use Linux, or if anyone comes across this post with a similar issue, you can go to the same link but install the Other Distributions tarball and run tar -xzf minecraft.tar.gz. This will create a /minecraft directory you can move where you like. All the launchers I mentioned work for Linux except CurseForge. They still haven't added Minecraft support for some reason.
I get an error every time I try to download bedrock for Minecraft weather it be through the launcher off the website off Xbox app or even MS store. My MS store and Xbox account are the same I have logged out re downloaded both repaired and restarted both to no avail everything like ms store xbox app and mc launcher is installed on my C: drive so its all in the same location. I've done every guide on the internet to no avail I just want to play minecraft with my girlfriend. here are links to all the stuff I tried with people having the same issue. Where some stuff works for some theres a large majority of us that can't get it fixed no matter what and just quit trying but I wanna play this game I reset windows down to factory mode and im still getting this issue its insane.
