The Mogul of Cromarcky
Not sure why this has suddenly become an issue, but when I tried to play minecraft today, I've run into a strange issue and am hoping someone has dealt with this before.
The launcher launches the game fine. However, on the main screen, the menu isn't responding to mouse clicks or keyboard input, effectively leaving me stuck on the opening menu. I've used the installer to "repair," the files, I've deleted the files completely and redownloaded them, neither of which changed the issue.
I decided to download minecraft for windows 10, and oddly enough the windows 10 version works. However, the windows 10 version apparently links to your xbox live account rather than your mojang profile, meaning in order to use that version I'd have to get that account whitelisted which seems like a giant hassle compared to just fixing whatever is wrong with the java version. (I also didn't check but I'm worried it's not going to let me log into non "windows 10" version servers. Does anyone log into this server from a windows 10 version of minecraft?)
The main menu isn't frozen; the terrain in the back and the yellow text under the main logo still move just fine and windows isn't reporting it as not responding. It just will not recognize any of my inputs.
Any ideas?
