Black screen after login, but sound can still be heard on title screen
I haven't played minecraft for probably over a year now and want to start playing some new mods and stuff, so I thought I'd start at the basics.
So I load up the game all normal and type in my details. Then a black screen appears. I leave it, thinking maybe it's doing some crazy new loading screen or something? But I can hear the menu buttons, like when you start a new world.
Any ideas what it could be? I don't know much about the technical side of Minecraft, so keep it simple.
I use Linux.

Due to the lack of detail, it's hard to say what exactly could be causing your problem. Minecraft should work just fine on Linux, assuming you are using the Linux launcher. You'll also need to download Oracle's JVM to get everything working properly. Assuming you've already done all of that, the game should work, but only if your computer can handle it. Minecraft is resource heavy and that's because it uses Java. You'll need to upgrade your drivers or get a better video card, but I find it odd that you can hear the menu buttons. That would definitely be indicative of some sort of graphics card error.

Why does my computer screen go black but has sound?
Load up a longish mp3 playlist or streaming audio station and let it play. If the monitor goes black but the music continues to play, you know that the computer is still running, and the problem is more likely the video card, video drivers, monitor, or the cables connecting the monitor to the computer.How do you fix a computer that has a black screen after logging in?

Answer 2
Try re-downloading Minecraft and see if that works. Update your version of Linux and the graphics driver. Then restart and re-download.
Answer 3
Your computer may be too slow to run so many mods.
Try un-installing your mods one by one and check which causes the problem. It might just be an out-dated mod. But still, if your computer is not the best it's probably that.
