Minecraft crashing

[RuthlessTomato]

You deleted minecraft, but did you delete your .minecraft folder? Just make a copy of your worlds and texture packs and put them back in when youre done. The game will make a new .minecraft folder.

[Morrison1996]

I already did that and am long past that lol. I'm down to either  needing minecraft to release a updated version compatible with Java Oracle 7 or figure out a way to downgrade my java to Java 6.

[ryans1230]

Open up the control panel and click the Java icon and select Java then View. Check the version box that you want Java to run. Hit OK a couple of times and you are set.

Problem is the only java that I have is Oracle 7. I use a school provided macbook so I can't put much software on it.

[ryans1230]

So you just downloaded the latest security update, 7 U11?

[Morrison1996]

School mac. so everything auto updates.

[ryans1230]

For a mac do Applications --> Utilities --> Java Preferences

That should have all the versions you have installed on it. You can delete the U11 version, reboot then put 6 U30 or whatever you want on it.

[Morrison1996]

Don't have anything there even for java. I have already tried that.

I PM'd you this too, but try this bin folder; I've included the latest fork of lwjgl (not merged with release yet). Just back up your ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin, and replace it with this one and try it out.

If that brings you no joy, I can help you get root access to your mac (probably) so you can downgrade to Java 6.

[Morrison1996]

Ok so the problem stand that Java and minecraft on most macs don't work with each other if you have the updated java. If any one can find me a way to get it so Java Oracle 7 can run OpenGL I would much appreciate it. But for now I am leaving my mac behind and using a old HP laptop that I haven't touched for a year so I'll keep my fingers crossed one of the two will work.

Note- I you do find a fix please make sure the following are not needed to do so terminal, system preferences/ Java, and console

[GirlLuvzerMac]

I've compiled the latest lwjgl version (was updated 2 days ago). It might be worth another shot since you can't downgrade your java.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8208380/bin.zip

Unzip that, and put the files in your /minecraft/bin, and the files in the natives folder in /minecraft/bin/natives , then give it a shot. Some people have had success with that, some haven't... Fingers crossed though.

[Morrison1996]

well the error report changed some with that I think.

but still not working

[Morrison1996]

I would like to know from anyone that has technic launcher. Does the vanilla version have the ability to log on to regular servers and not just tekkit servers? If so I will be able to join everyone again tonight on opitcraft.

yes it does. BUT, it has the minimap mod. and it's not compatable, being 1.2.5 and all.

[Morrison1996]

This is a clean no mods included vanilla version using technic and it works.

That those who helped.
Locked.
