[MCL-21454] Launching 22w19a and above gives the error message: "Failed to download file. Java runtime manifest is missing the desired component for this platform"

When attempting to launch 22w19a and 22w18a from the microsoft launcher I get the following error message: "Failed to download file. Error details: Java runtime manifest is missing the desired component for this platform." The error only occurs when trying to launch the following snapshots: 22w19a and 22w18a. The error does not occur when launching older snapshots, i.e. 22w17a, or "latest version" 1.18.2. I have already tried reinstalling Minecraft, the launcher, and Java. I also made sure to update my GPU to the latest driver. I verified that all the download paths and launch options are set to default.

This issue is happening on my Mac Java also.

Just confirming that I encountered this same error message trying to launch Java 1.19 Pre-Release 1.

Edit: Was able to run the game by switching from the Default - Bundled Java run time option to a specific Java 17 exe file path on my computer. So, the issue is something to do with the bundled java run time.

Hello, I had the same issue with my launcher. I tried to reinstall but then it wouldn't even do that. I figured out that i had an outdated Launcher. I was using Windows 7/8. and I installed the launcher for Windows 10/11 and now I have been able to download and play the pre release 1. I think it might be an error between these two Launchers.

If not the case I'm sorry

I'm having the problem too. Here is my log.

i has the same problem

System: Manjaro Linux (Gnome).
$ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
java-11-openjdk
java-17-temurin
java-18-openjdk (default)
java-8-openjdk
I can run snapshot 22w16a and 22w17a with default launcher, on as low as openjdk 8.

Launcher is: Linux 5.10.109-1-MANJARO 2.3.173 torsdag 28 april 2022 21:57:25

Switching to a higher java version does not help, can't start anything above 22w17a.
Tried to set and use a jre directly "/usr/lib/jvm/java-18-openjdk/bin/jar" wont work.

Once, and only once, I got this log message in the launcher:
18:32:40.816
Preparing to launch minecraft client for 1.19-pre2
18:32:41.724
Minecraft client 1.19-pre2 is ready to start.
18:32:41.725

18:32:42.086
Otillåtet alternativ: X
Försök med 'jar --help' för mer information.
18:32:42.086
Process crashed with exit code 1

On almost every other attempt, I am only getting a "waiting for log output"

Bill Rothanburg: Have you tried the above recommendation - installing JDK 17 to see if that fixes your problem?

Just tried to launch a 1.19pre-2 minecraft server on my linux system, and it worked. No errors at all.

java in use is:
openjdk version "18.0.1.1" 2022-04-22
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 18.0.1.1+2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.1.1+2, mixed mode)

I also noticed that the bundled java is (in ~/.minecraft/runtime/) :
jre-legacy is marked as version 8u202
java-runtime-alpha is marked as version 16.0.1.9.1 and for
java-runtime-beta it is marked as version 17.0.1.12.1

I have no java-runtime-gamma folder...
this link suggest that maybe it should be such a folder present?
https://launchermeta.mojang.com/v1/products/java-runtime/2ec0cc96c44e5a76b9c8b7c39df7210883d12871/all.json

and the java version should be 17.0.3 in such a case.

Windows 11 manually sent to run jdk-17.0.3.1 will start Minecraft however when clicking Singleplayer I am immediately prompted to Create New World. I do not have the option to open existing ones.

The bundled version still does not launch.

I made a new install of the launcher on a (almost) fresh installation of Manjaro, on a laptop. That install works with 1.19-pre2...

openjdk 17.0.3

Interesting enough, first start of 1.19-pre2 created a "java-runtime-gamma" folder. See my question about that in a previous post.

migrated 2022-05-24T19:43:36Z

Same problem but non of this fixes worked... i don't know what to do. when i try to select the javaw.exe it crashes on start up. i have the right jdk and stuff.

First time poster; so apologies if this is in the right format.

Running MacOS Catalina 10.15.17 on a late 2015 iMac. Cannot access the 1.19 Pre1 or 1.19 Pre2.

Can still play 1.17 and 1.18.2 without any issues. And have not experienced issues on previous Pre-Releases [and tested that I could still run 1.18.2-pre1 with no issues].

Clicking Play from the launcher brings up an "ERROR. The Game has failed to launch!" message. Additional text says:
Failed to download file.
Error details: Java runtime manifest is missing the desired component for this platform.
Tried force updating Java (both JDK 17 and Apple Java 8) and restarted, but neither seemed to make a difference.

Java Versions:

java version "1.8.0_333"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_333-b02)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.333-b02, mixed mode)

java version "17.0.3.1" 2022-04-22 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.3.1+2-LTS-6)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.3.1+2-LTS-6, mixed mode, sharing)

Based on previous findings, I uninstalled everything java, uninstalled the launcher, renamed .minecraft folder, and started a brand new installation.

Started a new 1.19-pre2 world, and the launcher downloaded the 17.0.3 runtime, and put it in the folder ".minecraft/runtime/java-runtime-gamma", and started the game.

It works for me now.

Edit:System is Manjaro Linux, gnome.

Mojang just doesn't give a damn, as they keep releasing new snapshots. But this error has been there for almost a month. Great job Microsoft

migrated 2022-05-30T19:21:02Z

I'm getting that impression also, I guess they don't care and will never fix this. It was going to be nice playing in 1.19 but I guess they don't want me to play anymore.

migrated 2022-05-30T22:10:38Z

I posted for the first time here because it was impacting me and three other people I play with (that don't usually touch the pre-releases). That was 4/7 people in the pool affected (nearly all on non-windows OS), so I assumed the issue is bigger than it appears on this Watch List I've tried a whole bunch of fixes (including uninstalling java, the launcher, trying the "more options" trick, deleting that .jar file), but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any leads for workarounds, I'd be interested in hearing them.

migrated 2022-05-31T03:22:35Z

Followed Bill Rothanburg's suggestion of renaming the .minecraft folder and making a new one, which worked as far as it went, but if I have a folder with "runtime" or "gamma" in it, it's not coming up in search - or when I look manually, either. Any ideas what this would be in Windows?

Running a Windows 10 64-bit.

Edit: Just found it in my MinecraftLauncher folder in ProgramFiles(x86)

Further edit: can confirm the above method works for Windows 10 - just rename the .minecraft folder, make a new one, and then switch back. MinecraftLauncher updates automatically and applies it to both .minecraft folders.

I have finally found a solution for this run the check for updates java program and press update wait until its done updating and boom run minecraft and it should work

Donuts1000 2022-06-01T15:07:29Z

Per the dev team, this should now be resolved!

Evening Donuts, I can indeed now access and play the 1.19 Pre-release 2. Thanks to you and the Devs. However, pre-Release 5 insta-crashes after the prep bar fills. I'll add to a new (or existing?) ticket.
