    • Java Edition Versions
    • None
    • Windows 11 build 21H2, 64-bit
    • Unconfirmed

      Using the new launcher, running any world or joining any server in versions over 1.14 or 1.15 will just crash the game with the error, "failed to create a child event loop".

       

       Workaround:
      1. Go to Installations, select and edit your profile
      2. Click "More options" and on Java Executable, replace it with the following: "C:\Users*<yourname>*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\Microsoft\WritablePackageRoot\runtime\java-runtime-alpha\windows-x64\java-runtime-alpha\bin\javaw.exe"

      When using this version of Java, the game will run just fine like it was on the original launcher.
