Resolved Connection Lost Internal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter 'directory'

[plum_jackson]

I keep getting the "Connection Lost Internal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter 'directory' is not a directory".

I thought it was from the mods I downloaded, so I removed them but it still didn't work.

Help!

This can be caused because our servers automatically sends you resource packs, this is called "Server resource packs". The error you describe is most likely caused because of a non-existent server-texture-packs folder.

You can try to fix it by going to /User/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft folder and checking if theres a folder called server-texture-packs. If it's not there, manually create it and try joining again.

Wow thanks for the quick reply!

I'd love to see how this server has changed, I used to be active back in 2013 or so. Glad I can finally come back.

It still didn't work

Maybe if I disabled the automatic resource pack switch it would work. Any further suggestions?

Yes try to disable the server resource packs. For that, in the server list (after you clicked "Multiplayer" on the start screen). Select the server by clicking once on it and then hit the "edit" button below. Then change the setting "Server Resource Packs" to Disabled. You then can download the RPs manually >>here<<.

I think the directory name must be "server-resource-packs"

Oh yeah. I just checked. Older versions (even when the term resourcepack already was in use) still used server-texture-packs. This is the folder you need:
