How Do I Report an In-Game Problem with Minecraft?

Minecraft is the highest grossing video game of all time and is played by millions of gamers across the globe. The action packed game has versions for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and mobile.

Due to the nature of Minecraft, in-game problems are bound to arise from time to time. Therefore, if you run into problems while playing the game, chances are that other gamers have already encountered the same or similar problems with the game.

More often than not, in-game issues with Minecraft are as a result of bugs in the software. Since such bugs are common, Mojang, Minecraft's publisher, has a feature specifically for dealing with bugs encountered in-game.

In order to report bugs and other in-game issues with Minecraft, you will have to create an account at Mojang's bug tracker. You can find the link to the page on Mojang's website.

It is paramount to note that the Mojang/Minecraft bug tracker account is not the same as the Minecraft/Mojang account. If you have never reported a bug to Mojang before, you will have to open an account on the website.

Creating an account on the site is easy and only takes several minutes. Ensure you get the verification link in your email to verify your account.

If you have submitted a bug report to Mojang before and do have an account on the Mojang bug tracker website, all you have to do is input the necessary details and log in to your account.

Once you are signed into the account, the process of submitting a report about an in-game issue i.e. a bug to Mojang is as follows:
