Select checks

What to check first

  • Image disappeared after full screen. Start with windowed mode and resolution. In Java on PC, check F11 or Fn+F11.
  • A shader or mod was added before the crash. Check a copy of the profile without the last change. Do not delete the world save.
  • One world does not work. First make a copy of it and compare it to the new test world. Do not open the only copy of a modded world with mods removed.
  • Even a clean profile does not work. Check the launch environment and graphics driver. Randomly replacing DLLs and increasing memory does not establish the cause.

If it doesn't help

Save the game version, the OS, the GPU model, the driver version and the magazine of one unsuccessful launch. Write down whether the new world works in a separate clean profile. Delete the currents, personal paths and addresses before publishing the magazine.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there sound, but the screen is black?

The game can continue to operate when the drawing fails. Check the window mode and last graphic package, then compare it to a selected clean profile.

Does diagnostic delete worlds or change files?

No. The site shows the procedure for manual checks. Before changing saves or settings, make a copy; the original files remain with you.

Are the instructions suitable for Bedrock and phone?

Select the appropriate version in form: Java on a computer, Bedrock on Windows or Java on Android. The advice for Java is not used as a Bedrock result.
