Common Errors

Cannot find version <version_name>

Make sure that Mojang launcher can find your version and launch your version without any problem. CmlLib.Core will not able to find or launch the version which Mojang launcher can't.

If this exception throws even target version is in versions directory (default: <Your Minecraft Path>/versions), check version directory name, version json file file, and id property is all same.
For example, assume you want to launch your own version named myversion. your version json file should be in versions/myversion/myversion.json and the id property of myversion.json should be myversion. so directory name myversion and the json file name myversion.json and the value of id property myversion is all same.

If the launcher still throw this exception, call launcher.GetAllVersions() method before launcher.CreateProcess.
If you add new version into the version directory after the launcher is initialized, you should update version list through GetAllVersions() or GetAllVersionsAsync() method.

Minecraft cannot connect to server which has a SRV record when you use direct server connection feature (MLaunchOption.ServerIP).

macOS

DockName

You have to set DockName and DockIcon in LaunchOption.
If DockName is empty, you can't click or access the Minecraft window.

Example:

var launchOption = new MLaunchOption
{
    MaximumRamMb = 1024,
    Session = session, 
    DockName = "Minecraft"
};

On macOS Catalina, Minecraft works normally without the above options. Old macOS versions don't work well.

JRE

Old Minecraft versions don't support OpenJDK 11.

Linux

Use Java 8. Old Minecraft versions don't support OpenJDK 11.

To install Java 8, type the following lines in terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

To make sure it worked, type java -version. It should return java version "1.8.0_~~~".
