Hi, im getting a 404 error on my gameband when i try to launch minecraft. Im here to revive the gameband and i need this download link to stay alive so that gameband could download its latest version of minecraft java edition for windows.
This is the Link this need to be revived: https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/3a1af5ae71c56c4f5aec9e35a27e358aa1cb7c2e/Minecraft.exe
This is also the Link where you could download all the minecraft launcher files you need for any device for your gameband: https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/launcher.json

Actually Sir, This Duplicate is from a location of mac on the Minecraft website itself, this problem is already fixed but this one im having is from this website you guys have that needs to be fixed for that link to be working again. The Website has been modified Mon, 18 Feb 2019 14:35:31 GMT Which is why the website needs to be modified again so that this specific link for windows can work again. All the other links are working just fine, its just that one link that need to be revived, that should be it so far.
This is the link that needs revival: https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/3a1af5ae71c56c4f5aec9e35a27e358aa1cb7c2e/Minecraft.exe

A bit of research indicates that the version linked in that manifest changed to the current broken one sometime in 2019, but worked in 2018. Looks like it changed between 2018 and 2019, so it'd have been broken for 2 years. The 2018 version linked to this file which is still live, while in 2019 it was changed to the current file which is dead. It also changed names from "2.0.1003" to "427", which seems odd.
I don't know anything about the gameband, but you may be able to use the 2018 version I linked (or, you can go all the way back to 2015; archive.org captured several versions of the file).
The 2018 version does give me the manifest but what im looking for is a way to make this link work to download all its files to update the launcher with the gameband itself whenever i launch gameband without getting this error.
I looked into the gameband files and found this one file that said gblauncher.jar that should download the files with this link. Here is a text document of what it looks like. The text document is called w.class which is part of the file and it tells you how it downloads the updated file for all java devices and if you wanna take a look at the gameband files, Here is a link that shows the old and updated versions of gameband. I'm using the old version.

Quick Note: Everything was fine with Gameband before February 14.
Well, that's definitely odd, and I'm not sure how it could have even updated (as far as I can tell, the gameband website is dead). The gblauncher.jar file itself there didn't change, but I guess it might just have attempted to redownload the main launcher after whatever the other update was?
I've assigned this ticket to the WEB team; hopefully they'll be able to fix the link.
Oh here is also a link of why they need this link to stay alive: https://wiki.vg/Game_files

Hi,
launcher.json is an old manifest file that hasn't been maintained by our package publishing tool for a long time. It stopped pointing to an existing launcher executable due to a cloud storage cleanup we ran last week, which deleted old archived Launcher packages and artifacts.
For now we have manually updated that file, making it point to an existing Minecraft.exe. However there's no guarantee that it will keep working indefinitely. We have no intent of maintaining it, since the official Launcher self-updater doesn't rely on that file anymore.
Hey thank you very much for resolving this issue, This was a big help from a lot of Gameband users who play Minecraft. You guys are the best and im really glad you guys got the link working again. I know Gameband has ended for their company and left their software and had a good run but people are reviving the Gameband for what it is and its amazing to see this revival. I hope this link will keep working through out the years and i hope you guys will too because you guys are the best. If you Guys ever see people with this issue on their Gameband on this site, please tell them to download these files and they should have there Gameband working again. This will fix most issues with their Gameband.
