Crashing.

For some reason, every two to five minutes my minecraft keeps crashing on the Empire server. I also keep getting this:

#

Forum won't let me post the rest. Can anyone explain whats going on?

I don't really know what's causing the problem, but manually uninstalling and reinstalling Java should fix it.

The first thing I would do (as AusQB said) is re-install Java: http://www.java.com/en/
Also are you using any mods / client side plugins / Spoutcraft / etc ?

I have never downloaded a mod before in my game playing life. Though I have been considering it. Couple of mods I'd like to play around with, like the nuke mod.

Just tried that and it didn't work.

Anyone else have an idea whats going on?

Did you try deleting your .minecraft folder completely and installing it fresh? I searched around and people with similar problems seemed to solve it like that.

How do I do that?

FIRST try this:

In the Minecraft launcher (before you sign in) click "Options"
Click "Force Update"
Sign in and the game should re download everything


SECOND try (if it doesnt work):

In the Minecraft launcher (before you sign in) click "Options"
Click on the "Game location on disk"
GO up one directory
Now you should see the folder .minecraft
change the name of it to .minecraft_backup (so you wont lose saves)
Try to start Minecraft again and it should download everything fresh

The first didn't work and the file name won't change.

Any other idea's?

I think I've fixed it. I'll let you know as I play.

What did you do to fix it?

Nope, it's still crashing.

Edit for last post: I thought I fixed the crashing from the first post.

you need to reinstall so go and delete .minecraft and redownload

It didn't work either. And that's just the Empire server. I'd hate to see what happens offline.

Any other ideas?

Sounds very weird that those didn't fix it. Now just to update for those that might have more ideas:

Does this happen in single player?
You say it happens when you join our server. How about when you join other servers?

I haven't tried single player, nor have I tried other servers. This all started when I reset my computer because of a virus.

What version of windows are you running?
