Has Java Minecraft ever crashed to desktop on your PC?

[Soulwatcher]

I had a funny thing happen to me today. I was about to play Minecraft and all of a sudden the game said "fatal error". And it crashed to desktop, that's never happened to me before.

When I restarted the game it started up fine and played ok so I am not worried. Has Java Minecraft ever crashed to desktop on your PC?

Yeah, it has. Honestly, don't be worried. It just happens with every game once in a while. I have already switched over to the Windows 10 Minecraft some time ago but I did use Java for years and years.

Mine only crashed once every now and then... but completely randomly like yours. Then when I reopened it, it worked normally.

Though, I do know that some players did experience the crashes on Java due to some graphics card driver incompatibility for a while.

Yeah, it happened to me before. The game crashed due to some exception error. I had to stop the application process using the Task Manager. However, this rarely happens since I started playing on my desktop.

I am waiting to see what they do with the official Window 10/PE server this fall. Right now Realms is not the right choice for this website because there is no map on realms and the world stops when you log off. There are only a few more months to go before we see the "Better Together Update" and then we will know more about the official servers.

Java crashes often here, so I try to avoid any Java based application - and this include the Java version of Minecraft. I'm just a Windows player, but I'm sure that if I even tried to play the Java version of it, it would be more Minecrash than Minecraft.

Yup! It happened a few times before. In fact, i thought that it had to do with my low RAM memory. But now that this has been brought up I will consider updating it. Have been using Java for far too long anyway.

Java crashes plenty of times for me. And another issue with Java based engine is that it freezes a lot. No matter how much RAM you give to java program. It continues to freeze up. So it's something they need to handle. And instead I hope that they migrate to C# or C++ unity engine. I know it being a paid engine, harder to port. But Java is very buggy over the years.

Windows 10 Minecraft is C++ Minecraft, you can download it for free if you have the Java version of Minecraft.
