Minecraft will not launch

When I click play, it does not show the "Preparing" loading bar and the button goes back to saying "Play". Please fix it. πŸ™‚

I am having a similar issue. When I click on the 'play' button it takes me to a screen that just says "whoops! something went terribly wrong and you probably have encountered a bug." I'd appreciate it if this was fixed.Β

as soon as I click play, the game tells me: "sorry, something went terribly wrong and you probably encountered a bug."

Oh thats an interesting bug. I had to close my launcher and reopen again using the activity monitor to resolve this issue . You can check the ticket MCL-17399

Minecraft 1.17 on OSX 10.13.6, with latest up to date java, has fatal error - exit error 1 on loading.Β  Running 1.17 using downloaded with Minecraft java, makes no difference.

Opening Minecraft 1.16.5 all opens, normal, no issues.Β  Seems to be a release issue.

Yes, issue with latest release occurs, same as previous release. Can still load 1.16.5. There appears nothing more I can add.Β  See uploaded image "1.18.1 load fail".

This outcome not a problem for me currently. Happy to keep playing 1.16.5. However, offering as this may affect other players.

Please try downloading the latest launcher from https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download and see if the issue still occurs.

If it does please please attach the full launcher log found in [minecraft/launcher_log.txt|https://minecrafthopper.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder/].

You are correct, new versions do open with the new launcher.Β  Have not had time to play, but a new game with latest version was successfully opened, as well as older games under previous versions.

This issue appears resolved with the download of the new launcher.

Thank you.

Closing as cannot reproduce per reporters comment.

Resolved I thought as problem was solved. All good now with latest down load of new launcher on OSX 10.13.6, with latest update Java.
