    Alright guys here's the deal-

    1) I have a Mac

    2) I recently tried to update my little brother's account on Minecraft to the new version (1.6). I downloaded the launcher, and yet every time that I try to launch the actual game I get the error code in the title (Game ended with bad state (exit code 1)). How can I fix this so my little brother can play again? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft several times, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be much obliged. Thanks!

    I have the same problem, and I can't get it to work. The only solution I really have is just wait. I have a mac too, and I think thats the error code for macs, and the disc drive may not be working (A.K.A download) or it might just be a glitch, that the creators didn't realize, or this download for a mac just doesn't really work yet. :\

    Exact same thing is happening with me. I've wanted this update for so long and now that's here, i cant play it D:. I click 'play' which should initially start the game. A little crafting bench icon pops up, bounces for a bit and then vanishes. The in the codes it tells me:

    Game ended with bad state (exit code 1) Deleting /Users/PERSONAL NAME/Library/Application Support/minecraft/versions/1.6.1/1.6.1-natives-1372797058526081000

    Im praying Mojang will fix this bug. Apparently it's happening to a lot of others who use macs :\ Good Luck! I hope they fix this problem!

    I don't know whats wrong, but try this: Go to start menu, type %appdata% and hit enter. Then open ".minecraft", then "bin", and delete "minecraft.jar". Open the launcher and hit Edit profile, then when it says "use version" choose release 1.6.1 / 1.6.2. Hope that helps!
