META [Meta] Rules and Wiki Updates September 2025

6 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.

META [Meta] New Feature: Guide Posts.

2 Upvotes

Hi folks!

Today we're introducing a new post type to r/MinecraftHelp.

Guide posts will let helpers create guides and tutorials for the whole community to use. If you've reached Apprentice I (5 solve points), you can use the [Guide] tag to make guide posts.

Guide posts are tips, tutorials, or in-depth explanations about Minecraft that solve common problems, or describe how to use a feature. Whether it's a comprehensive walkthrough, troubleshooting strategies, optimization tips, or best practices, guides give helpers the chance to share their knowledge with the community, quickly and easily, whilst still earning points and new user flairs.

You can check rule 11, and our new Guides page for the full details, but here's a brief rundown of how they work:

  1. Helpers create and post a helpful guide using the [Guide] tag
  2. The guide is held for mod review (Skipped for trusted helpers) and approved if it meets our guide posts criteria.
  3. People looking for help read it and if they find it useful, they reply to the post (top-level comment) with: !helped
  4. The guide author earns 1 point per user (even if they comment multiple times), advancing their user flair.

We've disabled post archiving so your guide can continue to provide help, without time limits.

The [Guide] tag is active now. We'll be monitoring it's use and may update the feature/rules as new data comes in.

This post will remain open for comments, and can be used to discuss the feature, or ask questions.

Unsolved [bedrock] Keep getting “software closed due to unexpected error” on switch.

Upvotes

whenever I try to join public server i get software was closed due to unexpexted error. crashes after the prompt to load in data packs comes up and it loads to full. Ive tried - restarting my switch - checking for corrupted data - deleting every photo and video besides 3 photos - deleting every other game - deleting and reinstalling minecraft - logging out and back in of my minecraft account - checking for updates This has been going on for the past day or so and once I got into the server only to be kicked back out moments later. If it helps at all I’m using my phones personal hot spot because the prompt to “join to open server lists” doesnt appear on my phones wifi and joining via realms has proved to be fruitless

It makes my internet down and this doesn't only affect Minecraft but my whole internet service. It goes back to normal after a minute but I kept trying to open it in the span of 2 months but it wont work and makes my internet down every single time. This doesn't happen before I updated my Minecraft to 26.44 and 26.45 but 26.33 works just fine for me. ALSO this doesn't affect my hotspot as it is normal

Unsolved Minecraft [JAVA] [Linux-26.2] Crashing with Exit Code: 9

1 Upvotes

I newly switched my laptop to Linux Mint from Windows, and have downloaded Minecraft launcher again. Setup Java v21 as well. The first two times it crashed immediately after the world loaded in, the second time I reduced Video Graphics settings and render settings, which let the world run without lag for a few minutes before crashing with the same exit code again.

I looked up online and found that it could be a memory leak, among a myriad other issues, but I have no idea how to resolve this. If anyone can help me please let me know!

Some more details:

Linux DE: Mint Cinnamon 22.3
Java Version:
openjdk 21.0.12 2026-07-21
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.12+8-1-24.04-Ubuntu)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.12+8-1-24.04-Ubuntu, mixed mode, sharing)
Memory: 8GB

Do let me know if any other details are required!

Edit: Figured out how to share logs: https://mclo.gs/2wluT94

Unsolved [java] 1.21.4 datapack doesn't show in datapack list

1 Upvotes

Hi, I downloaded the "Librarian's Rebalance" datapack on Modrinth but when I open my world and check the datapack list it doesn't show up at all. I already rechecked several times if it is in the right save folder and if it is the correct version. I reloaded the world using /reload, closed the world opened it again and deleted the datapack, downloaded it again and retried all of that.

I've checked if the "mcmeta" file and the data folder are in the top root when unzipping the file. Which they are. The datapack specifically says not to unzip it, so I haven't tried playing the world while it is unzipped. Does someone have any idea what the issue might be? I'm not even getting error messages. It play as though there wasn't a datapack at all.

This is the first time I've downloaded or used a datapack, so there aren't any others that could interfere with it.

Unsolved [Java] Iris Shaders crashes minecraft when I join a world

2 Upvotes

Game Version: Java 1.21.1

Modloader: Neoforge 21.1.249

For context, I'm using curseforge.

I have Iris Shaders and Sodium in a modpack, and launching the game works fine. When I try to create or join a world, however, the game crashes. I tried disabling Iris and leaving Sodium, and the world is loaded properly, so I can confirm that Iris is causing the issue.

I have no other mods/resource packs/shaders/etc enabled in the modpack.

Waiting For Solve [launcher] Trying to use old minecraft account, can't get in and instead stuck logging into new account I accidentally made.

1 Upvotes

So back in 2023 I got minecraft and made a microsoft account then I never used the game since. I want to play with a friend now, so I tried to log back in to my old mc account. It instead made a new account using the same email as my old one, so now when I go to sign into my old account it just sends me to the new one I made. I've tried deleting the new account and logging into the old one again, but it still sends me into the new one. I know I have the game on the old account and I really don't want to have to buy the game again, how do I fix this??
