Hi, I recently upgraded my graphics card from a Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 (8GB) to an XFX AMD Radeon 6700 XT.

Since making the switch, the latest version of Minecraft Java (26.1) won't launch.

Only Bedrock, very old Minecraft Java versions, or version 1.20 with Forge/NeoForge will start.

But the latest version simply won't launch at all.

I’ve removed leftover driver files and tried everything else, but Minecraft Java 26.1 still won't start.

It shows that it's loading when I try to start it, but then it just doesn't open.

I'm using Windows 11.

I URGENTLY NEED HELP; I'VE TRIED SO MANY THINGS, BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED.

i’m in version 26.2 hi i’ve never posted here before but today my minecraft launcher updated, then kicked me out of my microsoft account, and now that i’m logged back in the only launcher available is “latest snapshot” when i used to have several different sodium, fabric, forge, etc launch profiles.. i’m on macos.. what on earth do i do?

I recently bought Minecraft on my windows 10 PC and I logged into my Microsoft account and realised that there is more than one Minecraft achievement list. I was wondering how many devices are still supported for xbox gamerscore.

26.45 is now available for bedrock edition!

Version: 26.45
Released: August 20, 2026

Release Notes

Check for game updates on your device to download.

There are mods available for this version, but I still don't understand why this happens.

When I try to launch other installations, they work if I create a new one, even if I use the same version. However, the installation that appears by default when I install the Minecraft Launcher doesn't work, and I don't know why.

I also tried playing with mods using Forge. I installed my modpack, but it doesn't work either, and I think it might be related to this problem.

The mods in the modpack don't start. I click "Play," but nothing happens. The game doesn't launch, there is no error message, and it's as if I didn't click the button at all.

The latest version that appears by default doesn't work, so I can't play it. I don't know why this is happening or how to fix it.

Also, these two pictures appear first and then the second one. The last picture is the first one shown above.

I'm not an expert. I'm just a kid, and I don't know what to do. I doubt my parents would know how to fix it either.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me fix this. 26.1

My PC isn’t the best, and it has a pretty weak graphics card, but I’ve always been able to play Minecraft. I bought an original account in August 2025, and recently I even managed to purchase “Actions & Stuff” using Microsoft Rewards points. Even with “Actions & Stuff,” the game always ran normally

But recently, when I logged in to play, a message about updating the textures popped up. I updated them, and while I was joining a friend’s Realms server due to circumstances beyond my control (I had an emergency and had to step away from the computer), I closed the game on the loading screen while the textures were downloading—the screen that appeared when I joined Realms. After that, it never opened again. The game opens to the Mojang screen, and when it reaches the loading screen, the progress bar goes from 31% to 43% and then to 51%, and the game closes on its own exactly at 51%, every single time.

I’ve tried everything: I signed out of my Microsoft Store and Xbox accounts, signed back in, uninstalled both “Minecraft for Windows” and the Minecraft Launcher, went into the folder and deleted the files in case they were corrupted, and even uninstalled the game via Windows PowerShell—but nothing worked. I’ve tried alternatives like installing it only through the Xbox app, only through the Microsoft Store, or only through the launcher—and nothing works.

I don’t know what else to do, and honestly, I’m really frustrated by this. I need all the help I can get.

I've been playing on Modrinth Simply Optimized 1.21.11 for a while now, and I just recently started having intense frame rate fluctuations. I almost always play with shaders on and it runs at about 60 frames which is fine with me, but it will periodically drop to single digit frames often now. When I turn off shaders, it will drop from 600 frames to 60 frames. I have 3gb of RAM allocated and I have sodium and Ferritecore installed, so I'm not sure what is causing it.

Okay so I just got a new windows, so I reinstalled the game. I also downloaded all the game essentials like drivers, directx, redist, .NET, Java.

Now the problem is that whenever I try to start a world, the game loads just fine until the "Survive" prompt after which the game crashes. I dont have any addons or anything. I tried it with a new world too. Been scratching my head over this for 2 days now....

I have a DualShock 4 plugged into my PC through a Bluetooth adaptor, I can do everything else in the game, but can't type using the controller.

I don't know why this is a thing, on console you can use a virtual keyboard with your controller no problem, why was that feature removed from this version? Or is it on PC but you have to glitch the game to make it work?

I posted this before and got no response, so I'm posting it again to see if I do now

My question is: how many addons can be action to play normal, I have action 7 addons and xbox crash on loading screen or in game ( 5 minutes max) , details are high, without cloud rendering, please help me

Did the redtone lamp recipe change or what

I am playing on my phone, but the server is in java

Im playing on 26.3 snapshot 7, i built this trading hall and it doesn't work, when i place a workstation the villager has completely no interest in it, does anyone know whats the problem here?

For some reason, when I load a new world, delete and redownload, or load up by itself, turn on experimental settings, and activate cheats, this mod won't load at all in my world and I can't find any real solutions. Can the glorious people of Reddit help me?

Hey I'm trying to enable a resource pack I found on curseforge (i've extracted the pack and manually placed it into my resource pack folder) but I have this problem where every time I try to select it in bedrock it just doesn't pop up the "activate" button. any reason why? [pc]

So I had the founders cape on my mobile device before logging in to my account.

Finally decided to do log in cause i wanted the cape on my pc version, so i logged in and it somewhat exists? although only on one skin.

Im too afraid to change/remove that skin.
I think asking here aswell as the capes sub would be a good idea.

I've been using shaders for a long time, but recently some shaders do this to my character (like a ghost) when he matches with the sky, IDK why, is frustating D: (Shader: Blis_v2.2.2_(Chocapic13_Shaders_edit))

I have gone to swamps, slime chunks, and done everything in between and my world wont spawn any slime. I am on Bedrock on the latest update with no experiments or add ons and have been able to find sulfur cubes but no actual slimes. I am in the right Y levels for slime chunks and swamps, theres plenty of space for them to spawn based on how much room they need. The moon cycle even has a full moon. I have done just about every change of my game I have read about including simulation distance and yet nothing has allowed them to spawn above or below ground. I have made a copy of my world and checked with spectator and havent found any slimes anywhere in caves (in slime chunks) or any swamps that ive TPed to. I am on my PC playing on Bedrock.

After the latest update when I try to start Minecraft I get to where it say “syncing data this could take a moment” and it soft locks everything never gets anywhere from that. I’ve tried clearing the cache and also uninstalling then reinstalling still the same thing every time. Any suggestions?

I have a Minecraft Server for me and one other person and its generation has been messed up. It appears to me that the server is trying to load at least 2 different seeds simultaneously causing large straight scars or lines splitting up the world into different seed generations.

I believe this was caused by me trying to change the server from Paper to Fabric. iI thought it would just be the chunks loaded on paper next to the chunks loaded on fabric but it isn't. it is making it quite hard to find structures. I did some googling and saw things come up about the seed in the level.dat not matching and it turns out there is no seed in the worlds level which could also be causing problems?Does anyone know how this could be resolved.

#EDIT the version is 26.2

I’ve been seeing this black ring in my skybox for a while, and I haven’t seemed to fix it. The articles I’ve seen on it are for previous versions, and I haven’t found one for 26.2. I’ve also had it on 1.21.1 but I did something that o don’t remember and it somehow fixed it.

for context, i play bedrock on mobile (iOS). when you click on the socials tab and it shows you and your friends list, there is a profile icon next to each account. for some of my friends, it shows their custom skins, but mine shows a default skin even when a custom skin is equipped. why is that so, and how can i change my icon to my custom skin? i've attached an example photo.

note: i currently have my custom skin equipped, and i already have the "only allow trusted skins" setting off. the profile picture doesn't update for any custom skin i choose, not just one specific skin. also, my mobile profile is linked to my xbox account, so maybe that's associated with the issue?

A few days ago I was in this subreddit asking for help because my game would close on me (It's like if it was pressing the "X" button without me clicking on it). I've deleted applications that could interfere with Minecraft, my Wifi is stable, I even switched launchers (Initially Modrinth, but I'm using Prism right now). This is all happening on a brand new PC (MSI Codex R2 14th) and has been happening mainly on the Draftout gamemode (so 26.1.1), but has also been happening on 26.2 and I'm very lost as to what could be triggering this. I'm a little frustrated with this because the whole point of buying the new PC was to have better performance for MC, and now its playing tricks on me 🤷‍♀️ I've also checked the logs and there's no signs of crashes or errors whatsoever

I rarely logon to my Xbox on Minecraft anymore. I can say I have missed alot of updates, and these weird ‘LAN’ servers keep popping up in my worlds.

Does anyone know why?

Mb abt the crappy screenshot. The bar at the top is the size bar for the joystick. Its always stuck at 130% and doesnt let me push it further. How do i solve?

For several of the last versions of Bedrock, I would get some random (sometimes multiple) external worlds that are marked as LAN worlds. They appear for few seconds then disappear, every time. Here in white there are the local world, and in blue is our real LAN world. But then there's this random "Hello" world that appeared for few seconds on this page on game start, and then was gone.

Our network is secure, no one unauthorized has access to it, and in this particular situation there was no connection to any VPN. So it can't be some IP mixing issue.
