java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at Launch

[pacfish]

First off I want to apologize if this is a known issue -- I did search but the search was less than 5 minutes on the bug reports (because I was searching other stackexchange and some other places first)

 

Excuse my poor system management. Running minecraft as root -- because what could go wrong?

 

"ERROR
Game crashed
An unexpected issue occurred and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience."

 

Anyways here are the log files.

forge-1.14.4-28.0.24 installed on 1.14.4.

Debian based linux.

Java version of Minecraft (yay beta)

defaults for everything. ($HOME/.minecraft/, /bin/java, etc.)

The default JRE on the system is 12 but I also have JRE 8 lurking in the files.

 

.minecraft/mods is empty.

Just hoping to play some ComputerCraft. =D

 

for what it's worth, the log file from minecraft is utter garbage... how you guys do it is beyond me.

debug.logFetching info... latest.logFetching info... forge-1.14.4-28.0.24-installer.jar.logFetching info...

Apparently my repo list is a liar. After purging 8, 11, and 12 from my system, installing 8 again....

$ apt list --installed openjdk-8-jre

> ... [installed]

$ /etc/alternatives/java -version

> ..."11.0.4"...

$ java -version

> ..."11.0.4"...

 

I'll give 8u221 from oracle a shot.

 

On a side note, Minecraft does work without Forge.

I guess it's because the binaries are being compiled differently?

[pacfish]

Because I'm a terrible person.
I'm only trying to install "ComputerCraft" for single player.

 

Is there some amazing cheat that I could go about doing this like in the old non-forge days?

Noticed you are having fun with people who can't figure out how to run jar files....
Alternative to "jarfix"
windows key + R
java -jar C:/Users/{YOUR USERNAME}/Downloads/forge-1.14.4-28.0.24-installer.jar

or
windows key + R
java -jar %appdata%/../../Downloads/forge-1.14.4-28.0.24-installer.jar
^ this one might need to climb up one more directory. It's been awhile.

Before Forge, you could actually run single mods without fear of breaking everything with just a few steps. I remember it working with IndustrialCraft. I just don't remember what the instructions were....
(It'd be like the equivalent of modding Skyrim without the creation kit).

Anyways. Thanks for the help.

 

The hackery will need to find another source by April.
Python2, Adobe Flash, and Java8 all die in 2020.

After merging the jar files (minecraft and computercraft) and failing to load vanilla from the launcher, reinstalling minecraft because it was dirty, and trying again with java 8's JVM binary I am still at a loss.

(I hate applications that don't share the same naming convention -- it was under java 8 was under /usr/lib/jvm/java-8*)

 

We got a better log file though!

Can't change what what the launcher does without changing all the other applications on my computer.

Is there a way to bypass the launcher?

[DaemonUmbra]

You can change the Java version that the launcher uses through the Installation that you use

[pacfish]

Not sure what you mean... I install minecraft like this.

 

$ dpkg -i minecraft.deb

$ apt install -f

[DaemonUmbra]

The launcher calls them installations now, but they used to be called profiles, they’re the things that you select before you click play, they let you select the game directory(where the mods, logs, saves, etc folders go), the Java version used (by selecting the installation location of the desired Java version), and the desired Minecraft version(which Forge installs itself as)

If brains were gasoline I wouldn't be able to run a flea's go-cart 2 laps around a honey nut cheerio.

Thank you!
