Have you ever played Minecraft on an M1 Mac?



Hello!



After reading the reviews for the new Macs, especially the MacBook Pro, I'm very interested in switching from my Surface Pro 4 to a Mac. I used to be a Mac user in the Snow Leopard to Mavericks days, but I changed to Windows in the past few years.



I have a lot of software I use which I've seen users say that work perfectly on M1, but do you know whether Minecraft (Java) works on an M1 Mac? It's one of my most played games and I don't think I could replace my PC with a computer that doesn't run my favorite game. Java is available on ARM however I've not heard of anyone playing Minecraft on an M! Mac!



Thanks! (Hopefully I posted this in the correct location!)



Highly recommend it. Performance-wise the M1 Mac will blow your mind. It's only a matter of time until Minecraft is optimized for the M1. You can run both versions until then. Bedrock (because M1's are able to natively run iOS/iPadOS applications now) as well as Java (translated real-time running Rosetta 2 that is built in. You won't even be able to tell the difference.



I tried to side load Minecraft to my M1 Mac, but the mouse and keyboard wouldn't work. How did you side load it, sir?



Yes



information from the video: Java is not a native M1 application, so it has to use Rosetta 2 emulation.



he was comparing the Baseline 7-core GPU MacBook Air to the Baseline 8-core GPU MacBook Pro. The MBP produced the world (same seed on both) at a rate of a second however, the MacBook Air seemed to be getting a bit more FPS for whatever reason (he was using the same graphics settings on both).



This comparison has a problem. Minecraft servers He didn't shut down vsync, so the FPS is only 60 FPS. It would have been interesting to see how much it can go.



The iOS, Android, and Windows 10 Minecraft versions all are compatible. However the Pocket Edition Realms server will not allow for the PC and Mac versions to play with each other. You can still play with your friends on Android and an iOS device.
