Quick Summary
The error code MC-148573 typically signifies a crash related to resource loading or rendering, often linked to corrupted or incompatible game files. It indicates that the game encountered an unexpected error while trying to process textures, models, or other assets.
Common Causes
- Corrupted Game Files: One or more essential game files may be corrupted or incomplete, leading to errors during the loading process. This corruption can occur during the installation, updating or transfer process.
- Incompatible Mods/Resource Packs: Mods or resource packs that are not compatible with the current version of Minecraft, or that have conflicting elements, can trigger this error. Outdated or improperly installed mods are a common cause.
- Insufficient System Resources: The system may not have enough RAM or processing power to handle the game's demands, resulting in crashes when loading complex resources. This often occurs on low-end hardware, especially with increased render distance or mods.
- Outdated Graphics Drivers: Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause rendering issues that manifest as crashes, particularly when the game attempts to load textures or models. Incompatible drivers can lead to instability and unexpected errors.
Step-by-Step Fixes
Method 1: Restart Minecraft and Your Computer
Step 1: Close Minecraft completely.
Step 2: Restart your computer. This can resolve temporary glitches or resource conflicts.
Step 3: Launch Minecraft again and see if the issue persists.
Method 2: Verify Game File Integrity
Step 1: If you are using the Minecraft Launcher, locate the installation settings.
Step 2: Look for an option to verify or repair the game files. This process will check for and replace any corrupted or missing files.
Step 3: After the verification process is complete, restart Minecraft.
Method 3: Remove or Update Mods/Resource Packs
Step 1: If you are using mods or resource packs, try disabling them one by one or in groups to identify the culprit.
Step 2: Update any outdated mods or resource packs to their latest versions.
Step 3: If the problem is a resource pack, ensure it is intended for the same or a newer version of Minecraft. If the issue is a mod, consider removing the mod entirely, especially if an update is not available.
Method 4: Update Graphics Drivers
Step 1: Identify your graphics card. Typically, it's either an NVIDIA or AMD card.
Step 2: Visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA or AMD).
Step 3: Download and install the latest drivers for your specific graphics card model.
Step 4: Restart your computer after the driver installation is complete.
Method 5: Allocate More RAM to Minecraft
Step 1: Open the Minecraft Launcher.
Step 2: Navigate to 'Installations'.
Step 3: Select the installation you are using, and click the three dots, then 'Edit'.
Step 4: Click 'More Options'.
Step 5: Find the JVM arguments line. It should contain '-Xmx2G' by default, indicating 2GB of RAM. Increase this to '-Xmx4G' (4GB) if you have sufficient RAM (8GB or more). Avoid allocating more than half of your total RAM
Step 6: Save the changes and launch Minecraft.
