    Minecraft instantly crashes whenever I try to open it

    Thanks for the quick answer. I managed to find the Java folder and tried inserting the code on the latest version installation, but it gives me this error:

    Your Java Runtime is incompatible. Please edit your installation to use the bundled Java Runtime.

    Name: Java Version mismatch

    URL: https://aka.ms/jnierror

    I assume the Java version isn't compatible with the latest Minecraft version? However, when I tried with a 1.8.9 installation, I got another error. First it opens a Java code window and then it gives me this error on the launcher:

    The game crashed: initializing game

    Error: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

    Unable to locate the java runtime

    I found a solution to my problem after a few days. I will paste a link to the support page that helped me greatly.

    https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCL-23025

    here is the portion I found useful...

    For Missing Java:

    • 1.18-1.19: Download Java 17: https://github.com/adoptium/temurin...nJDK17U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_17.0.6_10.msi, run that, find the javaw.exe file in C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.6.10-hotspot\bin. Click on Installations in the Minecraft launcher, click Edit Installation on your installation, click more options, and set the Java Runtime to be directed to the javaw.exe.
    • 1.17: Download Java 11: https://github.com/adoptium/temurin...JDK11U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.18_10.msi, run that, find the javaw.exe file in C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-11.0.18.10-hotspot\bin. Click on Installations in the Minecraft launcher, click Edit Installation on your installation, click more options, and set the Java Runtime to be directed to the javaw.exe.
    • 1.8.9-1.16.5: Download Java 8: https://www.java.com/en/download/, run that, find the javaw.exe file in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_351\bin. Click on Installations in the Minecraft launcher, click Edit Installation on your installation, click more options, and set the Java Runtime to be directed to the javaw.exe.

    For those who can't find "options" and "advanced settings..."

    Open the launcher. Go to Installations. Then click Edit ( . . . ) and then "More Options"

    Another problem I had was being unable to find my "AppData" which was a part of the path I needed to follow to install my nonexisting files. I used Windows + R to open "%appdata%" and then I followed the path my Minecraft Error Sceen told me to do.

    I hope this helps. The first link I sent also has other methods that can prove useful. I only tried the one, because it worked for me.

    My account is already migrated but Minecraft is still asking for me to pay to play Java Edition despite already having Bedrock Edition. What else do I have to do?

    yes i installed minecraft on my mobile before, but i can play it on my pc since i bought it. So why cant i play java, is it because i installed the mobile version first? but even so, its doesnt change the fact that i can play bedrock on pc, but not java.
