The FTB App says I don't own Minecraft


Make sure you own Minecraft on a Microsoft account. If you bought Minecraft when it was still using Mojang accounts, there was a deadline on Sept. 19th, 2023 to migrate to a Microsoft account. If you did not migrate, you do not own Minecraft anymore and will be unable to login with your Mojang credentials. Microsoft did send out a mercy email on that day which will allow anyone that didn't meet the deadline to get a new Minecraft account attached to their Microsoft account, up to 90 days from the deadline.

An error occurred whilst launching... Failed to execute asset update task


Check the latest.log file in the FTB App folder for lines that say:

Tried URL: 'https://resources.download.minecraft.net/blah/blahblahblah...'

Take note specifically of the /blah/blahblahblah part, and if you have multiple Tried URL lines only pay attention ones with unique blah/blahblahblah portions. It is a vanilla Minecraft file that the launcher requires:

  1. In File Explorer navigate to C:/Users/<your_username>/AppData/Local/.ftba/bin/assets/objects and find the folder with the first blah in the URL (if the URL ended in /e8/e8fddnjabdsf find the e8 folder and then the file called e8fddnjabdsf).

  2. Delete this file and relaunch the FTB App.

Trying to sign in through Microsoft is giving me "We can't find the FTB App"


Using Brave or Safari browsers often cause issues signing into the FTB App. Try disabling Brave Shield or use a different browser. Copy the URL at the top and paste it into another browser of your choice.
