Minecraft, the Technic launcher as a possible way to have modded Minecraft?

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We appreciate your time reaching out to us and your interest in modded Minecraft, we do not officially support the use of third-party launchers such as the Technic launcher. We recommend that you only use officially supported methods for modifying Minecraft, such as the Minecraft Marketplace or official Minecraft mods. Using third-party launchers can potentially cause compatibility issues and may not be secure. If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to Minecraft Support using this link: Submit a request – Home (minecraft.net).

Hello Maria Fernandez2,

You're welcome and thanks for sharing these details.

If system detects incompatibility between the launcher and the mods there is a possibility that you may not be able to launch the game or the launcher itself. Mods or modding is short terminology for modification. This is created to enhance the content of the game. Not all games allow mods or modification however, Minecraft can be use with mods but considering the use and creation should be with precaution and warning. A user can always choose how they would like to play the game and how it should appear. This choice is created and made by Minecraft enthusiast and those mods were updated based on the version of the launcher or the game itself. There are mods that will only work on specific version of the game and those mods will not work on an updated version of Minecraft Launcher or Minecraft Java/Bedrock edition.

There is, however, a last month hotfix for the Minecraft launcher modding and this version may help your son and you to launch the game - Minecraft Legends - Modding Hotfix | Minecraft Help. You may uninstall or disable mods for this game and try to launch Minecraft if it will be able to do so. Since, modding is not officially supported by Minecraft Support Team it is possible that you may reach out to the mod creator for a revision or to ask if the hotfix could be a resolution to their issue.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

Make sure you are using the correct login credentials for your Minecraft account. If you are unsure of your login information, you can reset your password through the Minecraft website.

Make sure that you have the correct version of Minecraft installed. Technic Launcher requires the Java version of Minecraft, so make sure that you have that version installed on your computer.

Check your Xbox account settings to make sure that the necessary permissions are enabled. To do this, log in to your Xbox account and navigate to the account settings page. Look for options related to cross-play and multiplayer, and make sure that they are enabled.

If none of the above steps work, try reinstalling the Technic Launcher and adding your Minecraft account again.

If you continue to experience issues, you may want to reach out to the Technic Launcher support team or the Minecraft support team for further assistance.
