I should say play unassisted. He had been playing minecraft quite happily today. Sometime during the afternoon he said his plane was not working. I just assumed he meant he couldn't get it to fly. But no he really did mean it wasn't working. I had several mods working quite happily together. For reasons beyond me he had restarted the game. Not an unusual thing for him to do. But on this occasion he had found a couple of extra buttons to play with as the game loaded. Not being aware of this I had no idea what he had done. More to the point I had no idea that version 1.1 had come out while he was playing. Im guessing you know where this is headed? Yes he had successfully upgrade the game for me. Oh well one things for certain. Even a child can upgrade the game without problems :smile.gif:
It's not that hard. Updates are pretty automatic. It's says something like "new update is available, update now?" with a yes / no. Even blind luck he's got a 50% chance of hitting the right thing.
Delete your .minecraft folders completely and force a full reinstall. That's usually what fixes it. You are probably trying to update over a version that has problems, or had previous mods or changes that it can't handle for.
