Minecraft Forums

Please help me! Minecraft just won't run. Something with Java is preventing the Launcher from finishing and running Minecraft.

Something seems messed up with Java, but I can't figure it out. I've tried to search everywhere online and I just can't find anything that actually helps.

Please help us! Thanks very much!

Here is a bunch of information and launcher log details:

[12:49:42 ERROR]: java.io.IOException: Stream closed
[12:49:42 ERROR]: Game ended with bad state (exit code 1)

We downloaded the latest Minecraft 1.8.4

I have downloaded the latest Java version 8 update 45

My profile is Java settings executable is this - could this be part of the problem?:

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
