Warning

The current macOS port is about to stop receiving Minecraft updates in March 2025
mojang is going to make OpenGL ES 3.1 required

Caution

  • You need to own Minecraft on the google play store and login with your google account to use this launcher
  • Only mac models first sold in 2012 or later can run versions after Minecraft 1.20.15

Important

  • There is no arm64 dmg file
    • use the intel dmg for macOS 10.13 or newer
    • the game itself will run on arm64
  • Hi CPU Load
    • VSync is broken when not opt in to Metal in Profile Editor
    • Metal Mode may cause a black Screen on game versions after 1.18.15
    • The performance is better for linux, because we don't have to translate the Graphic Api

Download link for intel or amd based 64bit systems ( known as amd64, intel64 and x86_64 e.g. most PC's or Laptops )

We don't support macOS 10.10 - 10.12, but are still providing releases for them under assets.

macOS x86_64 has no native OpenGL ES 2 or 3 framework

  • translating the api via google/angle to OpenGL (Metal opt in, due to bug reports)
  • possible more frame drops compared to linux

No sound on unsupported ancient mac's from pre 2012 in i386 compatibility mode

macOS/m1 mode is experimental and is very unstable, since macOS 14 you are no longer able to use the intel game client and have to use the m1/arm64-v8 game client
Please leave a comment https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest/discussions/819 if the arm64 game launcher doesn't work at all on your m1/m2 mac, together with the whole log file of the crash or the log after a force quit

Not available Features you may miss

  • Xbox live friend joining
  • Xbox live login
    • a lot of devices seem to get error code "drowned" without beeing asked for login
      • error code "drowned" has more meanings like you closed the webview window without sign in
    • there is no resolution for those getting this error
    • programs that rewrite http requests sent by this launcher could also cause this problem
      • all xbox http requests are signed by an ecdsa key
      • the second request using the token for sisu auth are always rejected by Xbox Live Servers with http code 403 Forbidden
    • this problem is not reproducable for developers

Changelog

Fixed new multiplayer problems on macOS / crash when someone else opens Minecraft in the local network of 1.21.40 - 1.21.60.21.

The game runs now on limited fps when V-Sync is broken (when it is enabled), now capped between 80-110fps before it where greater than 2000

Disabled Fullscreen support of Menubar and f11 shortcut due to causing more bugs than being useful, use the green button and hide the menubar
