Fixing the Issue with WR for Deathrun & Briefing¶
Your Minecraft client likely will not connect to the speedrun.com/API & Lergin servers to retrieve the data.
Minecraft comes with a own Java version, just in case you don't have one installed. This is 1.8.0 Version 23
.
The problem is, Minecraft is not trusting the aforementioned servers. Only Java programs with a higher version than 1.8.0 Version 101
trust the speedrun.com / Lergin servers.
Important for this is that you have such a Java version installed on your computer.
One option is to run java -version
in a command prompt.
Or you can check on the Apps & Features page in Windows.
If you have a sufficient Java version try to find its JRE executable in your Explorer.
If not, update Java.
By default, these are located at C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_VERSION\bin\javaw.exe
or C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_VERSION\bin\javaw.exe
If nothing helps, you can also ask me at ItsNiklass#3108 or @ItsNiklass
Note: If you're using the old launcher or a custom one like MultiMC, you don't need to proceed any further. Just make sure your Java is up-to-date.
To tell Minecraft to go and use your updated Java version, we have to go into the launcher: (Images below)
1 - Go into your Launch options.
2 - Select your active profile you are using Beezig with.
3 - Turn on the custom Java executable.
4 - Select your own javaw.exe in your new Java directory and click Save
5 - WR should now work. Contact me if issues still exists :)
