GLFW error during init

by queenofthebees

GLFW error during init changes how Minecraft handles GLFW errors at startup, and it applies to Fabric and Quilt installs.

FabricQuiltClient-side onlyCustom license1.18 – 1.21.3

What it does

The mod fixes an error handling problem in Mojang's GLFW code that causes startup failures to go unreported. It runs on the client only, so a dedicated server does not need it, and it works across the 1.18 – 1.21.3 game versions with files for 19 release versions. Fabric and Quilt are the supported loaders, and the latest file targets 1.21.3 under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. GLFW error fix

    Corrects how Mojang's bugged GLFW error handling reports problems during game initialization.

  2. Broad version coverage

    Builds are available for 19 release versions 1.18 – 1.21.3, with the latest file marked for 1.21.3.

  3. Mixin-based change

    The fix works through a Mixin, so the problem is addressed in the code path where the error originates.

What the author says

ever get that dreaded GLFW error during init, and notice that instead of telling you why the error occurs, it prints a randomass number? that's cause mojang forgot pointers exist. this mod just contains a small mixin to make that error handling work properly, so you can actually see why your game is crashing…
