Minecraft caters to a sandbox experience to millions of gamers every day. But just like any other game, it is not completely bug-free. Whether you have gone exploring other maps or building a brand new farmhouse for yourself, what happens if Minecraft crashes with this error message – ‘An unexpected issue occurred. Exit Code 0‘? Don’t worry. There are very easy fixes to solve this problem.

Fix 3 – Delete all the mods
Minecraft has become so famous because of its ever-increasing astounding number of mods. You can just install any mod to get a completely new experience.
