How to fix Minecraft Error Code Ghast
While the Ghast error code may sound particularly fiendish, there are some very simple steps to take in order to fix the problem:
- If you are in Windows or Xbox, then you need to sign out of Xbox Live, and sign back in again.
- On Nintendo Switch, go to Settings > Profile > Clear Account Credentials
Mojang themselves don't offer any further solutions, suggesting that this is an issue that really only manifests on these specific devices. If you do find that these aren't solving the issue, there are some standard troubleshooting tips to try:
