There are a few different things that can cause Minecraft to crash with the exit code 0. One of the most common causes is when the game is unable to load a vital file or process. This can be caused by a number of things, such as a corrupt game file, a problem with your computer's Java installation, or a conflict with another program.

If you're seeing exit code 0 when you try to launch Minecraft, it means that the game is crashing before it even starts. This is usually caused by a corrupt game file, a problem with your computer's Java installation, or a conflict with another program.

If you're able to start the game but it crashes shortly after, it's likely that you're experiencing a different issue. However, if you're consistently seeing exit code 0, it's worth trying a few different things to see if you can fix the issue.
