Here you can find all the information and tutorials on how to fix issues with minecraft, mods and so on.. I will be adding more content soon, but these instructions and tutorials should be enough to fix any black screen issue.
In this Video Tutorial you will learn how to “Force Update” your Minecraft, and how to “Empty/Clear the mods and config” folders.
Forcing Updates to Minecraft
If you are having issues after a reinstall, or are having other client issues, you can try doing a forced update.
- Open the Minecraft client
- Click on options (directly above Login)
- Click on “Force Update!”
- Click on “Done”
- Log in to the game, and the client will re-download the game files
Clearing Mods and Config Folders
If you are having issues with mod conflicts there are two options and the easy one is to clear the mods and config and start fresh again.
- Open the Minecraft client
- Click on options (directly above Login)
- Click on blue link right below “Force Update” – (This will open the minecraft folder and you will see the mods and config folders here.)
- Click on “mods” (Do the same for “config” folder)
- Delete all the files in this folder.
Re-installing Minecraft
One of the common ways to fix an ailing Minecraft installation of various bugs is to simply re-install it. Removing the launcher itself (the file you downloaded) however will not remove Minecraft. The steps below should work for most people.
Important step: Be sure to do a forced update if you still have issues.
Re-installing Minecraft on Windows
- Navigate to your Application Data Folder: %AppData%
- Double Click the .minecraft folder
- Copy out the saves folder to a different location
- Go back one directory (to where you can see .minecraft)
- Drag the .minecraft folder into the trash
- Start the Minecraft.exe file to re-download Minecraft
- Close Minecraft when you reach the title screen
- Copy the saves folder back into the new .minecraft folder. You can safely overwrite any data that’s currently in this folder
Re-installing Minecraft on Mac OSX
- Open a Finder window
- Click the Go Menu item and Click Go to Folder
- Type ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft into the text field and click Go
- Drag the saves folder to your desktop
- Drag everything else in the minecraft folder to the trash
- Drag the saves folder back into the minecraft folder
- Close the Finder window and launch the Minecraft App just like you would normally.

Does this work with the Mineshafter-Proxy? I have been trying to download a few mods and even tried for an hour to manually mod, but I can’t figure out how to do it for Mineshafter. I am currently trying to get the Alien vs Predator mod. Please help!
Thanks.
No, Forge creator has made it so Forge does not work with Mineshafter..sorry so forge mods will not work.
Oh, well, thanks anyway

Hi Ive got black screen and my minecraft cant connect to minecraft.net so wut do i do? I cant update and modloader is screwing it up how do i fix this with out deleting bin?
you delete the bin. when you launch minecraft, it’ll make a new one so no worries
but if you’re afraid that the mods will be deleted too, then back them up. back up the minecraft folder before installing any mods.
I don’t want a new bin. I installed the war mod but it makes my game too laggy. When I delete it the stupid bin comes back and downloads it anyway. I’ve spent 3 hours trying to fix this, but bin keeps coming back. Do you know any way of fixing this?
get another one of your .jar’s and replace your one that you’re using
i can find the force update it disappeared?????
Here’s a thing, why don’t you buy it? Mojang deserves the money.
will force update affect the save files ?will the minecraft still be current version or the updated version?
if your running 1.4.4 and you update to 1.4.5 all saved files and worlds will be there if you dont delete the minecraft folder with the game in it.
you should be able to update to 1.4.6 now
Well here’s the thing.
as an example your running 1.4.5
then your minecraft got ruined by the mods
there’s a new update of minecraft version
but your minecraft is ruined.
you decided to force update. then it will turn into the newest version and you have to install the mods for the newest version
I’m running on a free launcher for Minecraft Alpha by AnjoCaido. Will it be affected
mods work fine on anjo cardo
i am too but mine says this: “this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect to this compuer please contact your system administrator ” how do i fix it?
pls nevis nahodou jak stahnu a nainstaluju forge mod loader pls rekni.
the free launcher has a button which says backup manager.In there,there were tabs like game saves and game installation.I click ‘Games Installation’ there were other buttons.One of the button is called ‘Backup Game (Binaries)’. I wonder if it will delete all my data,world saves and progress.Someone please reply me! I urgently need help!
Can you explane more, like make a video? But if you cant, go into your “.minecraft”, and go to “saves”. Copy all of them and make a new folder called “saves2″. Put all your saves in there and use the backup that you want to use. After It’s done, put all your files in “saves2″ back in “saves”. If it says “Do you want to replace?” click “Yes”. And boom! Its back to normal!

I think skydaz should update this video. Add more info to it. Like show that you have a mod installed before, then update and show again that there is no mods. But other than that, its ok. Oh, and can you update the mo’creatures? I LOVE that mod, but its not ever updated. (On skydaz that is.) thanks for reading!
I start out with a compleatly clean minecraft,force updated,even manually went inside the folders to delete traces of any mods,and I still get the error message. I am trying to install custom npcs 1.4.4.Is it just because it is’nt updated to 1.4.5? I found it in the 1.4.5 section,So I guessed it still worked with 1.4.5. Please help me.
No Npcs 1.4.4 will not work with 1.4.5 installer page is still 1.4.4 will update soon..
cari creatori di skydaz io ho windows 8 come sistema operativo spero che questo non comprometta l’ installzione delle mod sul mio minecraft sp vorrei che faceste un tutorial che elenchi tutto il procedimento come il video che avete messo qui sopra in italiano con windiws 8 ma non vorrei chiedere troppo grazie.
