after launching one instance of minecraft, I am unable to launch a second of the same type. I can launch forge 1.8 and vanilla 1.8 but not 2 of the same as it spits out an error before launching. other people have had the same issue as me today so I do not believe this is exclusive to just me
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
Your game, launcher or server is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
If you have problems on large servers like Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.
