Thread: Something related to Minecraft.

Hello,

One of my friends wants to download Minecraft. He needs Java to do it. But his Java isn't working, so if you are advanced in this, please tell multiple reasons and scenarios on how this could happen, and tell me how to fix it. This is his java when he opens it: A black screen appears like command prompt, just blank, and then it automatically closes. I need you to fix his Java and if you can, tell me different ways so I can help him.

Sorry if I didn't give any link, I would have to communicate. Also, I'm not a Java dev, unfortunately, but if you fix it, then TYSM!

Sorry, I know nothing about Minecraft. You will need to do some debugging to find out what the code is doing.

How do I debug

Open a command prompt window, execute the java program with commands in the window,
for example: java -jar TheJarFileNameHere.jar
copy the contents of the window that shows what happened and paste it here.

Thanks, I will wait for my friend's reply on my email for what happens.
EDIT: when I open java, it just closes. You can reply if he responds.

Please copy the contents of the command prompt window and paste it here so I can see what happens.
