Help with the Minecraft Launcher

For anyone still struggling with this the thing that finally got mine to work is uninstalling the launcher and installing "Minecraft for Windows + Launcher" rather than just "Minecraft Launcher." I hope this helps.

Hi ! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Please, log in the Xbox app and look for Minecraft, not the launcher, just Minecraft for windows 10, then hit install on it, select the same drive that the Minecraft launcher installation.

Hello Cellou,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, here are some steps you can take to try to fix this issue:

Check your Internet connection. Make sure your MacBook Air is connected to the Internet and has a stable connection.

Try downloading the Minecraft launcher again. You can download the launcher from the Minecraft website.

Try launching the launcher from the downloads folder. Once you have downloaded the launcher, locate the Downloads folder on your MacBook Air.

Open the folder and double-click the "Minecraft Launcher" file.

Try launching the launcher from the Finder app. Open the Finder app and locate the "Minecraft Launcher" file. Double click the file to start it.

Sign in to your Minecraft account. If you are not already signed in to your Minecraft account, click the "Sign In" button in the launcher.

Check your version of Minecraft. Make sure your MacBook Air has the latest version of Minecraft. You can check your version of Minecraft by clicking the "Help" button in the launcher and selecting "About Minecraft."

I hope I have answered your question correctly, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

After researching the issue, it seems that the Minecraft launcher is designed to check for and apply any available updates each time the launcher is opened. However, there are a couple of potential workarounds that may help:

1. Use the "Play Offline" feature: When the launcher opens, click on the "Play Offline" button in the lower-left corner. This should allow you to bypass the update check and play Minecraft on the last version you played.

2. Use OptiFine: OptiFine is a mod that includes its own Minecraft launcher. By using OptiFine to launch Minecraft, you can avoid the Minecraft launcher altogether and play on the version of Minecraft that OptiFine is currently set to.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
