What causes an invalid session in Minecraft?
There are two main causes for an invalid session in Minecraft.
Firstly, you might have started two instances of Minecraft and the old session ID is invalidated.
Secondly, you might be using a cracked version of the game (e.g. TLauncher).
Most Minecraft servers do not allow cracked players to enter them.
