whenever i hit play it just for a split second shows minecraft saying "updating minecraft" and then immediately closing out, and evantually just not upadting, not sure what there is to do because it dosent give me a crash log or anything

#

this might b a curseforge thing but idk

#

this is the play button im talking about

stuck veldt
#

likely a curseforge thing, yes

#

Microsoft’s auth servers have been having a bad day… maybe that’s it?

flat minnow
#

im gonna hope thats it

stuck veldt
#

can you install a vanilla profile using version 1.19.2?

flat minnow
#

i do. have a vanilla profile i played on earlier today yes

stuck veldt
#

but can you install a new one

flat minnow
#

ill do 19.2 hold on

flat minnow
stuck veldt
#

curseforge lets you create profiles

flat minnow
#

ohh yeah

#

hold on i nderstand

#

yeah that one dosent work either

stuck veldt
#

either mc or curseforge. try completely closing curseforge and opening it again
if that doesnt fix it, see if you can install 1.19.2 on the vanilla launcher

flat minnow
#

closing curseforge didnt work earlier

flat minnow
#

im sorry that i dont understand so much im a bit tired atm

stuck veldt
flat minnow
#

okay i just did that to see if thats what you meant

#

and it worked

stuck veldt
#

then its likely a curseforge thing

flat minnow
#

alright

#

so should i just reinstall curseforge altogether or just wait it out

stuck veldt
#

have you played it previously?

#

(aof6 on cf)

flat minnow
#

not in a while no

#

last time i played i had an issue playing singleplayer where it just flat out crashed and only worked on servers

#

not sure if that connects to this at all but

stuck veldt
#

you could try another launcher then. https://prismlauncher.org/
if you add the api key from the pins in #all-of-fabric-5 it will work with all of the same compatibility as the CF launcher (but also support modrinth stuff)

flat minnow
#

okay

Seconding Prism, with one caveat: pay attention to what jvm it's using to launch the game, as you're on a Mac. If it's an "M" chipped mac, I'd recommend using the jvm that the vanilla installer put on your system.

stuck veldt
#

good catch!

slow hornet
#

Mine is at:
/Users/dd/Library/Application Support/minecraft/runtime/java-runtime-gamma/mac-os-arm64/java-runtime-gamma/jre.bundle/Contents/Home/bin/java
For you the dd near the beginning will be the name of your account on your mac.

im not really good at this technical type stuff

#

if it even is that technical

slow hornet
#

A "caveat" is an exception or special condition; it's not a technical word.
"jvm" is short for "Java Virtual Machine"... you can think of it as the "engine" at the core of Minecraft, or anything coded in the Java programming language.

#

Are you on an "M" series mac? (Like, "M1 Air", "M2 Pro", etc?)

#

If not, you can just ignore all this jvm business, for the most part.

#

Apple has been making "Air" models for a long time. The question is, does yours have an "M" chip in it?

#

To find out, go to "About This Mac"

flat minnow
#

apple m1

slow hornet
#

OK 👍

#

Well, if you decide to try using the Prism launcher, let us know here and we'll try to help.

flat minnow
#

alright

slow hornet
# stuck veldt good catch!

small heads up: turns out, the vanilla launcher is still pulling down 17.0.8—hence not the bug fix on arm64 that 17.0.9 brings.

stuck veldt
#

thats interesting

#

do you have an m mac?

slow hornet
#

yup.

stuck veldt
#

is vanilla broken?

slow hornet
#

nope; but AoF7 is, if I use the 17.0.8 jvm the vanilla installer pulls down.

#

It'll start up, but choke on loading a world; didn't try joining a server.

stuck veldt
#

very "neat". glad to hear though

slow hornet
#

just didn't want to spread bad advice; untill I noticed just now, using the vanilla-installed jvm has always worked. oh well.

flat minnow
#

and im not sure i wanna go onto a new launcher

#

im kinda like attatched to curseforge in a way

#

i wanna do whatever i can to make curseforge work

flat minnow
#

looked more into it, for some reason curseforge is downloading some fake file of minecraft

#

and just keeps on downloading nomatter where i put the actual minecraft application

#

so something; god knows what; is downloading a random minecraft application instead of using the ACTUAL minecraft

#

im sure this will make it easier to find out how to fix
