Dear rafi azka
Thank you for reaching out. I'm Haien from Q&A Forum. Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum.
It sounds like you're having a really tough time logging into Minecraft, and to make things even more puzzling, the error code changed from "cauldron" to "obsidian." That can definitely be frustrating when you're just trying to play! I'm here to help you get this sorted out.
Minecraft login errors, especially those like "obsidian" or "cauldron," often point to issues with your Microsoft account's connection to the game's authentication servers, or local network/security conflicts preventing that connection. The change in error code suggests that your initial attempts to fix the "cauldron" error might have addressed one layer of the problem, but another underlying issue (or a consequence of the first fix) is now preventing login, manifesting as "obsidian."
Here are some effective ways that you can try to fix the problem:
Solution 1: Basic Account and Connection Check
- Verify Microsoft Account Status:
- Go to Microsoft account | Sign In or Create Your Account Today – Microsoft in your web browser.
- Try logging in there with the same Microsoft account you use for Minecraft.
- Check for any security alerts, recent activity, or password change prompts.
- Make sure your account is in good standing. If you recently changed your password, ensure you're using the new one
- Reset your internet connection
- Test Minecraft Login

Solution 2: Ensure Windows and Game are Up to Date
- Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update > Click "Check for updates" and install any available.
- Open the Microsoft Store app > Click on "Library" in the bottom-left corner > Click "Get updates" at the top right. Ensure Minecraft is fully updated.
- Restart your PC.
For additional information of updating Window version in this option, please visit this article: Install Windows Updates - Microsoft Support
Solution 3: Check and Reset Gaming Services
- Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Gaming Services > Click the three dots (...) next to it > select "Advanced options." > Click "Repair" first. If that doesn't work, click "Reset."
- Restart your PC and Test Minecraft Login.
Solution 4: Reinstall MineCraft – Last Resort Option
If all options above could not solve your problem, please consider reinstalling the MineCraft. However, if you uninstall Minecraft, your saved worlds might be deleted. Therefore, you should back-up your data. You can visit this article to know how to back-up your important data information: Back up and restore with Windows Backup - Microsoft Support
- Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Find "Minecraft" (likely "Minecraft Launcher" or "Minecraft for Windows"). > Click the three dots (...) next to it > select "Uninstall." Confirm.
- Press Windows Key + R > type
%appdata%
, + press Enter > Delete the.minecraft
folder or delete any folders related to "Mojang" or "Minecraft." - Open the Microsoft Store app > Search for "Minecraft for Windows" > reinstall
- Log in and re-test again
