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,

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
