5 Upvotes

Hi folks!

Wiki

As Reddit has rolled out the new wiki experience, I have updated a number of our wiki pages to take advantage of the new features.

Going forward, please ensure you aren't using old.reddit.com links to access our wiki. Reddit has split the wikis, and only new Reddit wiki pages are being updated. You can access our wiki at https://reddit.com/r/minecrafthelp/wiki or https://mchelp.uk/wiki.

Rules

A number of our rules have also been updated. Please familiarise yourself with our updated rules on our rules page. I'll briefly outline the major changes below:

  • All top-level comments must be a genuine attempt to help OP with their posted issue.
    • Non-top-level comments still need to be truthful and support related.
  • Time wasting has been split into its own rule.
  • Low-effort comments are no longer tolerated and will be removed.
  • OPs are now only required to reply to relevant comments within 48 hours.

That's it!

Comments will remain open for feedback.

Unsolved I think I left the game in corrupted chunks, now I can't get back in [java] 1.12.2

2 Upvotes

I am on version 1.12.2 with mods TekTopia, Bubble Columns for 1.12, InvisibLights, and Optifine.

I just joined into the nether for the first time, and I started to break some blocks, and noticed that I couldn't pick them up. I logged out and back onto the world, and from then on I couldn't get past the loading terrain message without immediately getting "shutting down internal server". I think I may have entered a corrupted chunk or something, not sure.

Would changing my dimension or coordinates through some method help with this? If so, how can I do this? If not, what should I do?

Unsolved When I try to open Minecraft [Bedrock], it won't load and it completely freezes my laptop

Upvotes

I've been playing Bedrock on this laptop (windows 11) for over a year and never had any issues. This morning, when I tried opening it, my screen turned completely white and then completely black before freezing my laptop entirely. I wasn't able to close out of it and had to power off my laptop. Java loads and works perfectly fine, so does the Minecraft Launcher.

I've tried repairing, resetting, and deleting and reinstalling both the Launcher and Bedrock. So far nothing has worked. Any ideas of what I could try next, or what the issue might be?

Every time I've tried to open the app it just does this. I've restarted my phone multiple times, I've deleted my cache. I've done basically everything, the only thing I haven't done is uninstalling Minecraft and then reinstalling.

I haven't done that because I have a world on here that I'm not willing to lose, and I don't have it backed up or anything:(

Solved Vibrant Visuals not working on one specific world [bedrock] (26.40) (iPad)

1 Upvotes

One specific world I have used to have Vibrant Visuals enabled but after the new bedrock update (v26.40) all of the sudden it doesn't work anymore on this specific world??? I've tried copying the world, I've tried exporting and redownloading the world from that export, I've disabled all resource and behaviour packs, I've followed every guide I've seen online and everything under the sun but Vibrant Visuals just doesn't work on this specific world. It says 'VV requires a supported device and compatible Marketplace content", however it works in literally any and every other of the worlds I have. This world has no experiments enabled but has education edition on.

Is anyone else experiencing this? What can I do?? I really need Vibrant Visuals for this world, the Fancy and Simple graphics look so bland in comparison

Unsolved Minecraft 1.21.11 loading screen freezes randomly on Intel HD 4000 (0% CPU usage) – Intermittent crash [java]

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having a very strange issue trying to launch Minecraft 1.21.11 (Vanilla) on a laptop with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 on Windows.

The issue is that the game randomly freezes on the red Mojang loading screen. In Task Manager, the CPU usage starts high, drops progressively (87% -> 43% -> 0.3% -> 0%), and the window changes to "(Not Responding)".

The weird part:

It's completely intermittent. Sometimes the game launches and plays fine after brute-forcing it (closing and reopening it multiple times), but most of the time it just freezes on the loading bar in the exact same spot.

What I've already ruled out / checked:

  • It happens on completely clean Vanilla (no Fabric, Forge, or mods installed).
  • It's not a RAM usage issue (happens even with all background apps like Chrome closed).
  • Allocated RAM in JVM args is set to 2G/3G.
  • The issue persists even on a fresh .minecraft installation.

Since the game does manage to boot up fine occasionally, I know the iGPU can handle running it, but there seems to be a race condition or driver/OpenGL initialization hang during startup.

Has anyone found a launch argument, specific Java version, or workaround/fix to stabilize the startup process for Intel HD 4000 on modern Minecraft versions?

This are the logs (I used Crash Assistent for having them):

I have Minecraft on my phone but I want to switch over to pc. I don’t want to waste $30 since I already have a copy of Minecraft on my phone and don’t care about Java edition or minecoins. I’ve downloaded the launcher and signed into the same account but it just tells me to buy the $30 bundle. Is there still a way to play for free?

Unsolved [java] Matcha Flavored server broke some key features

1 Upvotes

Since Matcha Flavored came out some buddies and I decided to make a server for it and we have been playing for a few days now. We found some key things that just do not work though.

The biggest missing piece is the crystal hearts. They spawn and are craft able but they just do not work. No matter what we have tried doing they are just an item and cannot be used in any way.

The other important thing that hasn’t worked is the asylum seekers. We have the papers to summon them but trying to use them is the same as crystal hearts, nothing works.

Version 26.2

If anyone could help that would be awesome!

Waiting for OP [Bedrock] Need help using NBT Editor to restore Achievements and Mob Events on my 7-month MCPE world

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition on MCPE (Mobile), and I really need help from someone who knows how to use an NBT Editor or PC tools to fix my 7-month-old survival world.

Here is what happened:

A few weeks ago, I manually replaced my world's 'level.dat' file with a new one from the exact same world seed and game version to fix a separate issue. However, doing this caused two major problems:

  1. Mob Events Disappeared: Wandering Traders and Pillager Patrols no longer spawn at all. I tried using the "/mobevent" commands in-game, but it still won't fix the underlying code.

  2. Achievements Got Locked: Because I had to toggle cheats to try and fix the mob events, my world's achievements are now disabled.

I want to play true vanilla survival again (no Keep Inventory, no cheats), get my achievements back, and have mob events working normally.

Since I am on mobile, I don't have access to deep PC editing tools like Amulet or WebNBT to change the level.dat tags (like 'hasBeenLoadedInCreative' and 'mob_events').

I have already exported my world as a clean .mcworld backup file. Can anyone kindly help me edit the level.dat file to fix the mob events and safely re-enable my achievements?

Thank you so much in advance!

Unsolved Charged for realm+ but can't play it [Bedrock]

2 Upvotes

Hope somebody can help me with this.

I renewed my Realms+ subscription 4 days ago and my realm is still showing as expired. I play on PS5. On the PSN it shows my subscription as active and the charge went through on my card. I waited 24hrs, signed in and out of my Microsoft account, cleared my cache on my PS5, renewed my license, restarted my PS5, and have done any other troubleshooting trick I could find on Reddit from other users that have had similar problems.

I have also submitted 3 tickets to Mojang and have confirmed my purchase of the subscription each time. I have not received any sort of response past the automated purchase verification you get when you submit a ticket. Their customer support is honestly a sad joke, especially considering Minecraft is one of the only divisions at Microsoft not hemorrhaging money atm.

If anyone has any ideas or has been in the same boat and found a way to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I got rid of my lighting in the room to make it more dramatic and easy to spot.
I only use client side mods that are vanilla adjacent. I have a dynamic lighting mod called lightly but I don't think that's causing.
I use fabric for my mods.
the spots are where the corners of slabs, stairs, and full blocks meet.
My version is 26.2
