Minecraft Java edition keeps crashing

Hello, gloria Tellez.

We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.



It has come to my attention that you are experiencing crashing issues with Minecraft Java.

I'm glad to have the opportunity to help you with this issue.



You mentioned that you have actually tried quite a few steps, could you provide me with a list of the steps you have tried?

Not only would this prevent this community from providing you with duplicate programs, the results of those steps would also help us pinpoint the problem.



Also allow me to ask you for some details:

Your description is that the game crashes immediately every time you open the launcher and click play.

So do you see the game window open? This is to determine if the error report is coming from the game or the launcher.



If you haven't done this yet, you can try installing the launcher from the Minecraft website:

Download Minecraft & Server Software | Minecraft



Try running this game in compatibility and administrator mode:

First you can try to right-click on the game shortcut icon on your desktop to find the path to the game running program that corresponds to the shortcut.

Right click the .exe game file, click properties: (My system is in English, please set it according to your system language)







Feel free to share with me more information, I will help you further based on your update.

Thank you for your cooperation.



Best Regards.

I bought the Windows 10 version of Minecraft by mistake, but the one I wanted was the java edition.

I saw that anyone who buys minecraft java edition is entitled to minecraft Windows 10. Is the reverse also true? Who buys minecraft windows 10 is entitled to minecraft java edition?

If so, how do I access the java edition version at no additional cost?

Hello mimim2,

The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps

As previously noted. Microsoft owns Minecraft, however Minecraft Java is not a Microsoft or Xbox game. The PC equivalent is “Minecraft Windows 10 edition” the Java version is a separate game not part of Minecraft bedrock, their-for not cross play with other devices.

Xbox owns W10 edition not Java edition

you need to go on the internet,

paste that in or search java minecraft and it should come us with this site

Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft

then make an account and buy
