Launcher 1.6.44 claims to not operate with Java yet the java console opens to play the game. Previously I was only getting Error 401 when requesting Realms, now I am presented with the world options and a new error screen which is attached. I confirm I have attempted to look for this error online and I hope you're not as rude to me as you were last time.
