    how do i fix exit code -1 in minecraft

    Hi Cole,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having technical issues with Minecraft due to error code -1. This usually happens when your system can't detect your Java. Please follow my recommendations below.

    Step 1: You need to open the Minecraft Launcher and click 'Launch Options'

    *Note: If you're using the new launcher go to Minecraft: Java>Installations tab>Latest Release and click the 3 dots then edit. Now click more options then you'll see the Java executable box.

    Step 2: In settings, make sure the 'Java executable' box is checked/ticked/set to green.

    Step 3: In the text box next to 'Java executable', you need to remove the w oat java, and make sure that the code in the box reads like so: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe

    Step 4: Save your changes then try launching the game.

    Step 5: If that does not work, you made need to delete and re-install Java and/or Minecraft itself.

    Keep me posted.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    How to fix Minecraft Exit Code -1?

    Hi there Pauline, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Does the game open correctly if you uninstall all the mods? If so, then the error you're experiencing with Minecraft can only be due to two things:

    - Some mod is incorrectly installed.
    - Some mod is incompatible with the game version or with another mod.

    It's recommended that you install mods one by one until you find the one causing the problem. Once identified, you should contact the mod developers directly to report the issue or seek a possible solution, as they are responsible for the proper functioning of their mods, not Xbox, Microsoft, or Mojang.

    I appreciate your understanding.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    Hi there Omar, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Does this only happen if you have mods installed in your game? If the game opens correctly when you have no mods installed, then there are only two reasons for this:

    - Some mod is incorrectly installed.
    - Some mod is incompatible with the game version or with another mod.

    It is advisable to install your mods one by one until you find the one causing the issue. Once identified, you should reach out directly to the mod developers to report the problem or seek a possible solution, as they are responsible for the proper functioning of their mods, not Xbox or Microsoft.

    I appreciate your understanding and I wish you good luck!

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    How do i fix this minecraft launcher exit code 1

    Hi there Giancarlos, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Please check if this issue also occurs with the original or vanilla version of Minecraft. If it only happens with the Forge version of the game, even if you haven't installed mods as you mentioned, then it means that the issue is not with Minecraft itself but with Forge. Therefore, it is recommended to contact Forge Support because Mojang does not provide support for that version, as it is not an original and native version of the game created by them.

    After doing some research, I couldn't find a direct link to Forge Support, but I found their Support and Bug Reports Forum, which I'm sharing with you here:

    how do i fix an exit code 1 error for minecraft?

    Hi there Dididi_dididi, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    If this issue only occurs when using mods with CurseForge and doesn't happen when playing on the native version of Minecraft without any mods, then in that case, you should contact CurseForge Support via the following link so they can assist you:
