    Minecraft:
    So, after hours unsuccessfully trying to solve the "Failed to log in: The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance." problem i had, i decided i would uninstall the game and download it again

    I thought, "Nothing can go wrong with this, after all i got all my mods and important things separated already", oh boy i was completely wrong

    Enter these two bad boys and this pastebin

    When i download minecraft:
    On the .minecraft it simply creates this log (it is the one on pastebin)
    And on Minecraft Launcher (the folder) it creates these two files (there is nothing on the games folder)

    I've tried:
    Uninstalling and Dowloanding minecraft again (using every installer)
    Downloading the old minecraft.jar (actually managed to enter in the launcher, but it wouldn't load anything)
    Changing my DNS to google's one (8 . 8 . 8 . 8 and 8 . 8 . 4 . 4)
    Removing everything from minecraft and mojang from my hard drive and then downloading everything again
    Disabling both my firewall and windows virus and threat protection alternatively and together
    Downloading java again
    A mix of everything in this list (and others that i forgot, but i'll edit as i remember them)

    Unfortunately, i deleted the original .minecraft (dumb i know), and i don't know a trustable source where i can download everything (as this method seems to somewhat work)

    My computer spec (if it helps)
    Does anyone knows anything i can do to fix this? (English is not my first language, so i'm sorry if i explained something incorrectly)


    I didn't see anything saying that this type of post isn't allowed here, but if it is i'll remove it

    Minecraft:
    Originally, I thought that your issue was related to the usage of a pirated Minecraft client (based on the authentication server failure) but I assumed that to not be the case; I have checked and made sure that there have been no problems with the authentication servers over the past week, and of course, they are stable and working, so we can rule the servers out.

    Naturally, then, this is an issue with your Minecraft client. I've taken the liberty to do some research on your specific issue and there don't seem to be many people experience the same thing that you do. What I would recommend doing is removing everything related to Minecraft from your PC and then going to the Mojang alternative loader page and installing the launcher called "Windows (alternative)", which uses the ".exe" extension rather than the ".msi" extension. Additionally, you've mentioned that you have reinstalled Java, but what really matters in this regard is the Jave Runtime Environment (JRE), alongside installing Minecraft using the alternative installer I would strongly recommend uninstalling and removing all instances of Java from your computer and then installing JRE 1.8 (I would not advise the latest ones, as Oracle has done some weird things and packaged the JDK alongside the JRE, and you really do not need the JDK; also, Minecraft is effectively mainly based on JRE 1.8) from the Oracle JRE page (scroll down until you find "Jave SE 1.8", select it, scroll down and then select the one for Windows x64, get the ".exe" one not the ".tar.gz", as tarball is not a widely Windows-supported format).

    One more culprit that I can think of in this regard is your firewall or antivirus blocking Java (surprisingly, this happens to me a lot when I'm programming and it's annoying as hell). Whilst you have mentioned that you've disabled both your antivirus and firewall, I would suggest double checking on that and possibly making an exception for Java applications in your antivirus. Depending on what antivirus software you use, you will have to search how to do this yourself.

    I will be honest, your issue is very rare and not something that I can find solutions on. If anything I've said has helped, then please let me know as I would be interested. If you are still not able to solve it, let me know and I will do some deeper digging on this. I'm also available on Discord most of the time (my username and tag are pyunbiwi#8098) so feel free to message me on there if you need further assistance in real-time.

    I wish you luck in solving this. Godspeed.
