If minecraft crashes quickly the game output will be empty
The bug
If Minecraft crashes quickly after starting, the game output will be empty.
Steps to reproduce
- Add -javaagent:missing to the JVM arguments
- Launch an already used installation of Minecraft
Expected result
Minecraft fails to launch and the game output contains something like
22:25:28.024Using default game log configuration client-1.12.xml (outputs XML)22:25:28.260Error: Could not find or load main class "-javaagent:missing" 22:25:28.261Process crashed with exit code 1
Actual result:
Minecraft fails to launch, but game output only shows "Waiting for log output..."
Workarounds
If you cause something to be download (for instance, by deleting the relevant folder in .minecraft/versions) then the log will show the output.
The launcher_log.txt file will still contain the game output.
