I developed an easy solution for the problem. MinecraftProxy :biggrin.gif:
it also works if the proxy requires username and password.
I still need some feedback for it,
so if you try it: please post in the original topic if it works for you or not. And if not, try to find out the error messages for me.
Are you trying to run minecraft through a password protected proxy?
Did you recognize that there is no simple way to accomplish that?
Well i had the same Problem.
But I am a Java programmer and had nothing else to do within the last couple of hours, so here it is:
Minecraftproxy 1.4_1! (works with Beta 1.5)
its basically a modified launcher, which enables the game to run through a protected proxy. You can still play the game without using a proxy, like you did before.
MinecraftProxy asks if you want to connect through a proxy. Just click "no" if you don't want to.
That means you just need MinecraftProxy. You do not need the original launcher in addition.
So here it is:
Please post here if it works for you or not, it would keep the topic up and help me to see if it needs bugfixing.
Please spread the word to everyone! Even if you do not have this problem, maybe a friend of a friend of a friend of you does.
I'm surely not the only one who had this problem, so I want everybody to know that there is a solution.
I'll try to post updated versions of the launcher if it's necessary.
If you feel generous and the Launcher works for you, you can donate me a dollar or more.
Donations will be used to fund my electronic projects.
Thank you guys for helping!
Usage:
Just execute as you would the normal Launcher. Windows users just need to execute the .bat-file. If there are questions, read the README.txt first.
If it does not help your case: Contact me.
Important: Make sure that you have JAVA added to your PATH variable. Here is a guide on how to do that: http://www.minecraft...f=1036&t=251346
When you run MinecraftProxy you will see something like this at the beginning:
If you click "No", Minecraft will start like it would with the standard launcher.
If you click "Yes" you get to this screen:
If you sit behind a proxy and need this tool, you should be familiar with this kind of config window Attention:
If you use the "Use first setting for all" option, the checkboxes in front of each protocol type will still set wether the proxy options will be used for the according protocol or not.
After entering the needed data just press "Ok" and Minecraft will start up using the given proxy settings.
If you click "Cancel" Minecraft will as it would with the normal launcher.
Important
Replace the five stars (* * * * *) after the "hosted_button_id" with the ID you find in your button code here:
(marked with red, insert without the "")
try it with my Modified launcher, maybe it works.
I developed it mainly for playing through a proxy, but you can select that you do not want to use the proxy function.
Just execute the .bat file after extracting the archive.
I cant guarantee that it works, if you could not even get the standard .jar launcher to work, but maybe you should just give it a try: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=269477

in the /bin directory you can install mods by opening the minecraft.jar with something like WinRar, and adding the modded files to the archive.
0
if so, press the WindowsKey+R,
and type in "dxdiag" and run it.
then click on "save all information" at the bottom of the newly opened window.
post the saved info here, maybe i can help.
Another idea:
do you use mods?
have you tried to completely delete minecraft and reinstalling it?
