[MC-843] Game crashes when entering the nether, but not when leaving. It happens on 2 of my computers but not on one.

Like i said i enter the nether and the game crashes. When i log back on i am in the portal in the nether and am sent back to the main world. If i enter the portal again to the nether the game crashes again. So it looks like I can leave the nether but not enter it. Oh also this is a multiplayer game running on my computer. The game crashes on my computer and my sons but not my wifes.

This happens to me as well. This has never happened to me and recently started when 1.4 came out. Hopefully they can fix this because I'm trying to create a nether hub to get me to all my portals. Also I really want to fight the wither boss but I can't farm them because I keep crashing.

This started happening to my wife when playing on our small family server (over a LAN, but we use the JAR server). The game keeps crashing every time she enters a nether portal from the overworld. I, on the other hand, can freely move back and forth between the Nether and the overworld with no problems. Our Minecraft installations are identical, but I run the JAR server on my machine (along with the client).

Can you post a crash report?

Jason Culp 2012-11-01T22:54:09Z

There is no crash report. The game just shuts off completely.

Jeremy 2012-11-02T00:23:17Z

Yeah, I don't get a crash report either. The window just closes and I have to restart minecraft. The good thing is it always spawns me in the portal so I can go into the over world but I would really like to be able to go into the nether.

This happens to me too. Same way, crashes right to desktop. I can usually log back in and step out of the portal. From there it sometimes crashes after i take a few steps but it sometimes is fine.
Started with 1.4

Take a look at MC-2749, updating to the latest Java 7U9 helped several people.

Luke Glen 2012-11-14T01:36:48Z

I am on that Java version and have been ever since it came out. This does NOT fix the bug that doesnt generate a crash report, only the one that does.

kumasasa 2012-11-14T06:39:49Z

start the game with a cmd file

java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.exe net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
pause

then you might get some logging information

Jeremy 2012-11-14T18:24:03Z

I was also running the most recent Java. Although I was able to get into the nether and do some of the thing's that I wanted too, it ultimately did crash and none of your suggestions seem to help. I have to restart minecraft and it is really starting to annoy me. This has never been an issue for me and is keeping me from enjoying the game that I bought over a year ago.

Jason Culp 2012-11-15T05:12:27Z

I updated my Java to the latest 64 bit version and it fixed the crashing.

kumasasa 2012-11-15T21:19:42Z

Ok updating Java helps some people, others not.
Strange.

Jason Culp 2012-11-15T22:02:55Z

Also when the 1.4.4 update loaded it crashed again when going into the nether. So updated Java again and it fixed it, which is weird since they have not updated Java since i reloaded it the first time.

Jason Culp 2012-11-18T05:02:42Z

Ya still crashing

Jeremy 2012-11-19T23:08:27Z

Me as well, how do we get this fixed? Starting to get a little upset because of the fact that I can't get glow stone or wither skulls. 😞 Is there a way to confirm this?

Tails 2012-12-25T17:27:55Z

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Jeremy 2012-12-27T05:40:32Z

I haven't been in the nether in so long idk, I'll update you on if this is still a problem or not.

Jeremy 2012-12-30T07:21:34Z

Yeah, this is still very much a problem for me. Still immediately crashed when entering the nether. So hopefully they can fix it with an update soon.

Mustek 2013-01-16T15:32:41Z

If this still is an issue in the latest version, please attach a crash report.

Jeremy 2013-01-17T16:15:25Z

The only message that I get is Minecraft has stopped performing, do you want to wait for this program to respond or close the program. I am going to try to reset my nether and see if that helps any, which I doubt it will.

Jeremy 2013-01-24T19:53:24Z

With the current snap shot the nether doesn't crash for me anymore which is good. I don't know what happened, but the issue is fixed for me.

Jeremy 2013-01-25T16:38:35Z

Nevermind, it recently started crashing again.

Jeremy 2013-01-25T16:40:09Z

This is the most recent crash file that I have gotten on the 18th of January. Happend when I was in the nether.

Tails 2013-01-26T17:52:36Z

The crash you provided is duplicate of MC-7622, should be fixed with new snapshot.

Jeremy 2013-01-29T16:55:53Z

Yeah, that was the wrong crash report then, its not providing one it just closes out. Its weird because with the snapshot 13w03a I can go into the nether but with the latest snapshot 12w04a it went back to crashing in the nether. So it seems like I will be staying on that snapshot. I haven't seen any news of this problem getting any where near fixed. Can I have some type of update, like are they aware of it and maybe working on it? I do not know where this issues stands.

Jason Culp 2013-02-10T00:19:40Z

I have not had too much problems anymore. Only crashes once in a while on one of my computers. So I am happy.

Mustek 2013-03-30T14:22:43Z

No response in a few weeks. Assuming this issue is no longer valid.
