    Quite interesting that it’s still happening to you. It was solved for me the day after the Minecraft mob vote.

    I'm having the exact same issue. I cannot access my Microsoft account which I paid to use for my Minecraft account. It keeps reloading even on other websites such as Xbox. Even though I use MacOS with no virtual machines, it still shows me this error when I try logging in on the launcher. Some server issue today, I'm guessing and I hope is true. Let's wait and see, but the reason I initially saw this issue was when I was trying to access the mob vote which is ending tomorrow.

    Hey Maria!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

    Kindly try the following troubleshooting steps:

    1. Update Your Minecraft App.

    If you’re using an earlier version of Minecraft, it is best to upgrade to the latest version to enjoy new app developments and improve your gaming experience.

    To update Minecraft, open the app launcher. The launcher should automatically show you the latest version of the application. If it is not updated, click the arrow located on the right side of the Play button. Click the Latest Release link to update your Minecraft to the latest version. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.

    2. Update Your Java Installation.

    One of the common causes of Minecraft crashing on startup issue is an outdated Java installation. Having an updated Java is important, particularly for those playing the Java Edition of the game. It is also crucial that you install the Java version that is suitable for your macOS version. Install the 32-bit Java for the older macOS version and the 64-bit Java for Catalina and other recent macOS versions. For your convenience, consider using a specific driver updater software (driver updater). This software can efficiently locate the compatible software for your app, thereby saving you the hassle.

    Keep in mind that starting from Minecraft 1.12, Minecraft will need Java 8 to run. If you don’t have it or you don’t know what Java version you have installed on your Mac, you don’t have to worry because the installer comes with its own Java version by default. Just make sure to uninstall your current Java installation to avoid conflicts because of multiple Java installations.

    3. Set the Java Directory Manually.

    If you have multiple Java installations and you want to use a specific version for the Minecraft game, you need to manually set the path for the game to avoid confusion.

    To do this:

    Click on the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Java.

    Click on the Java tab, then select View.

    Select and copy all of the text under Path. The path to the Java installation should look like this:

    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java

    Open the Minecraft launcher, then click Launch options.

    Click on the version of the Minecraft game you want to run.

    Scroll down to Java executable and switch the feature on.

    Paste the text you copied (under Path) into the box.

    Close the window and try launching Minecraft once again.

    4. Redownload the Launcher.

    If you have a corrupted or incomplete launcher, you can download a good working copy from this link.

    Install the launcher by double-clicking on the launcher file and dragging the Minecraft icon to the Applications folder.

    Disregard any notifications about your Java installation being outdated.

    Once the new launcher has been installed, try opening the application again and see if the new launcher works.

    5. Use the Bootstrap.jar as Launcher.

    If you’ve downloaded a new launcher and it doesn’t seem to work, you can try opening the application using the Bootstrap.jar file instead. To access the file, follow the steps below:

    Double-click on the Minecraft application and choose Show package contents.

    Navigate to Contents > Resources > Java.

    Double-click on Bootstrap.jar to open it. This should work as the Minecraft Launcher.
