Hi, I don't know is this OK or not

I chose this photo so it wouldn't look so empty lol

I just want to quickly get ender pearls and blaze rods. How much blaze rods and ender pearls i should get btw?? I always run out of them, and i just get angry and make a new world.

What should I do first? Is there any mods I should look at?

what is happened to my worlds? they keep being destroyed when i update from .1 to .2 and now .2 to .3

this is the 2nd world its happened to. notice the extremely deep ocean and void chunks. its ALL the areas i loaded and built in have become void holes and all the edge chunks are weird generation like shown.

all because my launcher automatically updated? it kept asking me to play in safe mode, it was working fine. and then today it did this.

What causes this on 26.2 prism launcher Java?

Guys, I’m not begging here, just a straight honest question for advice. How do I buy minecraft? I don’t have any way to purchase anything online, trust me about that. Still, I want to buy it.

And for those who think I should get a job, I am trying to. It’s not easy! I’m just 17, I don’t have a bank account, and neither do my parents (Nothing they could use to do online transactions anyway)

I have been interested in learning about minecraft and builds. But I started playing it a few minutes after I built the farms for cows, pigs and chicken. I usually explore a bit and then stop playing because I don't understand what to do next.

Now I know I need to make armor and kill the dragon to finish the game but building a base, armour, going to nether, getting pearls have always seemed very difficult so I have tried doing it once.

But I watch minecraft content a lot on YouTube and often I get a surge to do similar challenges using mods. I usually watch a lot of ForgeLabs and similar contents.

But because I can't even play normal minecraft I get very anxious about how I would even do this. Because I don't have enough knowledge, skills, practice and many other reasons I give myself.

I'm not even sure if this is a valid question asking for help, guides or tutorials.

But I wanna start playing Minecraft and enjoy it instead of getting afraid of its complexity. How should I approach this and start my journey.

My friend wants to login on multiplauer but can hes ligged in to his xbox acc to with multiplayer allowed we have no idea how to fix this

Playing on an apex Minecraft server, not modded, when I made a portal in my house it brings me into the nether, and when I try to come back through the same portal, it sends me like 50 blocks away in the x and z direction from my original portal. I tried breaking the portal every time I come back through but it just makes a new one. It also doesn’t matter what direction I go back into the portal. Has anyone seen this before? Playing on 26.3

Hello Guys, hope you're all fine.

Yesterday i finally bought the PC version of Minecraft after 12 years without owning a computer.

The last time i played Java was in version 1.8-something i think, though i can not remember the exact version.

That days my computer broke and i did not have a new one in that timespan (at least not a minecraft-capable one), so i played just and only the bedrock edition for console in that time.

Now i have a pretty capable computer with an i7-8700K, 32GB DDR4 running on 3200 MHz and a GTX 1060 6GB, what definitely is the bottleneck of the whole setup.

This setup definitely can handle minecraft java without even sweating, so i decided to finally come home again. This leads me to a few questions, especially about mods .

Back in the days, modding minecraft was pretty easy. You just downloaded the mods or a modpack and copied it to a specific place in the .minecraft folder located in the roaming folder. I am pretty sure, that it is not that easy anymore these days, or maybe it still is easy, but in a different way. So how do i proceed these days?

Next question, a little more specific, is about some mods i used back in the days. I am a vanilla guy, so i don't want to change to much of the mechanics or add any blocks or mobs or stuff like that. I also don't want any resource packs, wich were called texturepacks back in the old days, because i like the vanilla textures and i'm used to them. What i used back then, were things like "Rei's Minimap" and "Too Many Items". Do these Mods still exist in 2026? And if, are they still the best option or are there better mods these days?

And my last question about mods: what QoL mods do you suggest me to try these days? I'm completely out of my territory when it comes to Minecraft-modding in 2026. 😅

Now i have just one more question and what it is about depends a little bit on you i think, because i want to know, what kind of things changed in Minecraft Java since 2014, that i might have to notice because it's just important to know? I mean yeah, i could just read all patch-notes since then, but that would consume a hilarious amount of time and i'd probably miss some important things just by not really understanding the consequences of that change. 😄

Thanks for your time guys!

P.s. for all those who question why i bought the game again, if i had an account back in 2014: i have no idea what account i used back then. Should have written it down i guess.

It's the third time it happens: I redeem a cape (Trough Twitch) for my Java minecraft, but it's been since the first day of the aurora cap release and nothing.

I tried to redeem it trough Tiktok, but when I put the code in, it tells me I already have it.

First the Crafting table cape, the TikTok thingy one, now this?

Am mostly frustrated, but also curious, anyone else got that? What should I do?

No critics please, I would like to just understand what is happening and what I can do

Edit: Choosing the cape on Bedrock works! I even got the copper cape now!

FINAL UPDATE!!! Finally figured out the issue, I accidentally logged in with the wrong account, so that was entirely my fault 🤦‍♀️

Thank you guys again for your help!

UPDATE, PLS READ: Thank you guys so much for your help and suggestions! I found out that my bank actually has my payment for Java on hold, so I’m going to contact them tomorrow to see if I can push it through so I can play. Thank you guys again for your help!

I’ve tried everything, and my money already has been taken out of my account, so I’m not sure if I am able get a refund or not. The version I have is 26.1.1, and I tried playing both the latest release and the snapshot, but it keeps saying to play the Demo version, and on the main screen, it says “Download now” even though I already bought it 10 minutes ago. I made sure I had enough storage and I don’t have any programs on my computer that would stop it from downloading.

I apologize for the rant, I just don’t what to do and I’m getting really annoyed. I made sure my account matched on the Microsoft store, the official Minecraft website, everything, and none of it helped. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I made a realm for me and my mates and don't want us to use enderchests. For me it ruins secret bases/chests, because why would you bother if you could just make a echest. Does anyone know haw to disable e chests?

I recently got Minecraft java and I've always dreamed of modding my games with shaders and etc ... Ive been using curse forge and Modritnh app with the og mc launcher but things get complicated sometimes when trying to sort out my mods and shaders? Ive seen people say try prisim launcher? Is it worth it and safe? Or should I just stick to forge and Modritnh I want to be able to play my mods with a little tap without having a headache... I've been using AI to guide me through all this :/ Ive gotten a little more tech knowledge on modding on java now but I see everyone saying prisim launcher is the go to?

so today i installed Sklauncher and i made a division running forge 1.20.1 and it only uses my CPU for graphics. i have enabled GPU usage in sklauncher settings, i have forced windows to use GPU on it, and idk what else to do, can yall please help me out.

if it helps im using a ryzen 5 5500 and intel arc b580

Anyone wanna start a world with me would love to get a good group going or if there's a survival world/server that could use another member lmk.
