# Errors "Failed to login - null" or "Failed to login - invalid session" when joining a server

## Issue Description

These errors mostly happen when there is a Microsoft account authentication issue on your launcher, whether it is Technic or CurseForge.

## Solution(s)

1\. Closing the game and launcher completely, logging out from the launcher, and relogging back in are the most common fixes.

2\. If that still doesn't work, you can navigate to **%appdata%/roaming/.technic** and delete the **oauth** folder.

If this still doesn't resolve the issue, you can open a support ticket on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/SiriusMC) server.

# Updating Java 8

<table border="0" id="bkmrk-recently%2C-mojang-cha" style="border-collapse: collapse !important; width: 100%; border-left: 4px solid #a855a0; border-top: none; border-right: none; border-bottom: none; background-color: rgba(168, 85, 160, 0.08);"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 8px 16px; overflow: visible; hyphens: none;">Recently, Mojang changed its authentication system. Players using **Java 8 versions older than Update 91** can no longer log in to Minecraft servers, including ours. To resolve this issue, update Java 8 on your computer.

</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Step 1: Uninstall Your Existing Java 8 Version

<p class="callout info">**CurseForge users may not have an existing Java 8 version installed. If not, skip to Step 2.**</p>

Older Java 8 versions lack critical security fixes and must be removed before installing the new version.

1. Open **Settings** → **Apps** → **Installed Apps**.
2. Search for **Java 8** in the list.
3. Select it and press **Uninstall**.
4. Follow the confirmation prompts until it's entirely removed.

[![Uninstall Java 8](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/ZIndunrdQHtiOr0D-image.png)](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/ZIndunrdQHtiOr0D-image.png)

## Step 2: Install the Latest Version of Java 8

<table border="0" id="bkmrk-this-guide-covers-in" style="border-collapse: collapse !important; width: 100%; border-left: 4px solid #a855a0; border-top: none; border-right: none; border-bottom: none; background-color: rgba(168, 85, 160, 0.08);"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 8px 16px; overflow: visible; hyphens: none;">This guide covers installing Oracle Java. Other Java binaries also exist from organisations such as Adoptium and Amazon, which can also be used.

</td></tr></tbody></table>

1. Go to the official Java download page: [Java 8 Manual Downloads](https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp).
2. Under Windows, choose **Java 8 (Offline 64-bit)** and download the installer.
3. Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

[![Java 8 download page](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/jkgaBbHcgvk8Sxfv-image.png)](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/jkgaBbHcgvk8Sxfv-image.png)

Following this, you should have the latest Java 8 installed.

<p class="callout warning">If you have other versions of Java installed, you may need to uninstall them or select the correct Java version in the relevant launcher settings.</p>

## Step 3: (CurseForge Only) Update Java Path in CurseForge Launcher

If you use the CurseForge launcher, you may need to change the Java path to point to the correct Java version.

1. Open the CurseForge launcher.
2. Select the settings cog on the bottom left of the launcher.
3. Select **Minecraft** and scroll down to **Java Versions**.  
    [![CurseForge Java Versions setting](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/AjnFyquPSpxipr26-image.png)](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/AjnFyquPSpxipr26-image.png)
4. Select **Choose**.
5. Type **C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0\_461\\bin** as the file name and press Enter.  
    [![Java path in file browser](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/3j0elj6n0mPE82T4-image.png)](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/3j0elj6n0mPE82T4-image.png)
6. Select **java.exe**.  
    [![Select java.exe](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/7skJ1M2aJVYG2XMi-image.png)](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/7skJ1M2aJVYG2XMi-image.png)

<p class="callout warning">The file location may differ on certain systems. Contact staff if you are unable to find java.exe.</p>

<p class="callout success">After this you should be able to join our servers using the CurseForge launcher.</p>

# Machines Not Breaking Blocks Inside of Claims

## Step 1: Verify the Machine's Setup

1. **Redstone Control**
    - **Ignore:** The machine operates without a redstone signal.
    - **Low:** The machine runs when it receives a low redstone signal.
    - **High:** The machine runs only when it receives a strong redstone signal.
    - **Pulse:** The machine operates only when it receives redstone pulses.
2. **Orientation:** Confirm the machine is facing the correct work area.
3. **Range Upgrades:** Check that any required range upgrades are installed.
4. **Power:** Ensure the machine has sufficient power.
5. **Output Inventory:** Verify there is enough space for output items, if applicable.
6. **Input Inventory:** Verify there are sufficient input items, if applicable.

## Still Not Working? Check Claim Permissions

If the machine still isn't working after completing the setup checks, it may not have permission to break blocks inside your claim.

1. Stand inside your claim and run **/autotrust**  
    *Automatically trusts any block-breaking action for 30 seconds.*
2. Power on and activate the machine.
3. The machine should now function correctly within your claim.

<p class="callout info">If the server you are on uses mods with "fake players", such as *Just Dire Things*, you can trust them manually using **/trust &lt;fake\_player\_name&gt;**. For example, the fake player name for Industrial Foregoing is **\#\[IF\]**.</p>

# Claim Expiry / Regeneration on SiriusMC

<div id="bkmrk-faq---claim-expiry-%2F" style="border-left: 4px solid #a855a0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden;"><div style="background-color: rgb(71, 51, 85); padding: 6px 16px;">**FAQ - Claim Expiry / Regeneration**</div></div>**Q: How long do I have to be inactive before my claims are subject to regeneration?**

120 days. Inactivity is tracked network-wide, not per server. So if you haven't logged into RLCraft for 120 days but have been active on ATM10, your RLCraft claims are still protected and cannot be regenerated regardless of any requests made.

---

**Q: I want to claim somewhere, but someone who was last online 200 days ago has already claimed nearby. Can I get their claim removed?**

Yes. If a player has been inactive across the entire network for more than 120 days, their claims become eligible for regeneration. To request the removal of someone's claim, you will need to open a [support ticket](https://wiki.siriusmc.net/books/troubleshooting-and-support/page/opening-a-support-ticket-siriusmc).

---

**Q: When staff clears an inactive claim, will the area be regenerated and does that delete everything?**

Yes. When a claim regeneration is requested, any builds, containers, and entities within the claim will be removed.

<p class="callout warning">Claim regeneration is never automatic - it only occurs when another player specifically requests it.</p>

# What Are Banned Items on SiriusMC?

<div id="bkmrk-faq---claim-expiry-%2F" style="border-left: 4px solid #a855a0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden;"><div style="background-color: rgb(71, 51, 85); padding: 6px 16px;">**FAQ - Banned Items**</div></div>**Q: Why is &lt;item&gt; banned?**

SiriusMC optimises gameplay for our players, and some more destructive items are banned. These items are banned due to their potential to harm server performance or the economy, or because they may be used to destroy claimed player bases.

---

**Q: How do I know what items are banned?**

 Use **/banneditems** in-game to see the full list.

---

**Q: What should I do if I think an item should be banned?**

If you notice items or mods causing dupe glitches, claim bypassing, or imbalanced gameplay, please create a ticket on our [Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/SiriusMC).

# How Much RAM Should I Allocate?

The length and severity of the punishment varies depending on the rule broken and the context behind it. Your previous player history also contributes to determining a fair ban length.

If you do not know the reason for your sanction, a searchable list of all bans and their reasons can be found at: [https://bans.siriusmc.net/](https://bans.siriusmc.net/)

## Bug Report Procedure

There are two ways to report a bug:

- **Through our [Discord](https://discord.gg/siriusmc)**
- **Through our [Ticket Website](https://support.siriusmc.net/)**

Both methods use the same layout and process.

## How to Report a Bug

**1.** Open a ticket and include the following information:

- Your in-game name
- The server where the bug occurred
- A clear description of the bug (as detailed as possible)
- Steps to reproduce the bug
- (Optional) Screenshots or videos

**2.** Some bugs can be difficult to reproduce, so staff may ask follow-up questions to gather more information. Staff will attempt to replicate the bug and determine the bug bounty:

- If the bug cannot be replicated, the ticket may remain open for further investigation.
- If the bug can be replicated, you will receive a message in the ticket confirming the bug that was reproduced, the bug bounty you will receive, and the severity of the bug.

**3.** Once the bug bounty has been awarded, the ticket will be closed. At this point, the bug is moved to our Issue Tracker, where it is assigned to the Development Team.

If no explanation was provided, your suggestion likely fell into one of the following categories:

- Hosting a new modpack
- Adding a mod to an existing server
- Allowing players to sell items to the admin shop

**How are suggestions reviewed?**

When reviewing suggestions, we primarily consider two factors:

- The estimated development time required
- Whether the expected benefit justifies that development time

Before opening a ticket, please ensure you have reviewed the [**Before You Open a Ticket**](https://wiki.siriusmc.net/books/troubleshooting-and-support/page/before-you-open-a-ticket-siriusmc) page to avoid unnecessary delays in your ticket being handled.

## Support Ticket Procedure

There are two ways to open a support ticket:

- **Through our [Discord](https://discord.gg/siriusmc)**
- **Through our [Ticket Website](https://support.siriusmc.net/)**

Both methods use the same layout and process.

## How to Open a Support Ticket

**1.** Open a ticket and include the following information:

- Your in-game name (if applicable)
- A clear description of the issue you are experiencing

**2.** Staff will review your ticket and may ask for additional information if needed. Once all required information is provided, staff will assist you either within the ticket or in-game, depending on the situation.
