Minecraft launcher crashes right after opening

minecraft-java-editiontechnical-issues

I've been trying to open Minecraft for the good part of a day, and whenever I try to open the launcher it just crashes.

I am using a macOS 10.12.2 in a VM, trying to get portable Minecraft working. Even when I run the launcher without any special options, it crashes. Can anyone help?

Your Java is messed up.

If java is sigsegv-ing, that means it's borked. It's most likely not minecraft's fault, probably something about your VM. Did you install the latest java on the VM?

The three things it could be:

  • This is an old version of java, minecraft needs a newer one.

  • This is a newer version of java that's not backwards-compatible and minecraft can't run on it.

  • Your java is corrupted, meaning you should try to reinstall it. Do other applications that require java still work?

  • Whatever version of java is working with minecraft, but the java and/or minecraft don't work with macOS Sierra.

In my opinion, it's most likely #3. Basically, try reinstalling java. If that doesn't work, it's most likely minecraft not liking macOS Sierra. Sorry about that.
