Have you ever played Minecraft on an M1 Mac



Hello!



The reviews of the latest Macs, especially the MacBook Pro, make me think of upgrading my Surface Pro 4 to a Mac. I was a Mac user back in the Snow Leopard to Mavericks days but I changed to Windows in the past few years.



I have a variety of programs I use that I've heard people saying that they work well on M1 however, do you know whether Minecraft (Java) is compatible with an M1 Mac? It's among my favorite games, and I don't think I could replace my PC with a computer that doesn't support my favorite game. I know Java exists for ARM however I haven't heard of anyone playing Minecraft on an M! Mac!



Thanks! (I hope I put it in the correct place!)



It is highly recommended. Performance-wise, the M1 Mac will blow your mind. It's only a matter time until Minecraft is optimized for the M1. It's possible to run either version until then. Bedrock (because M1's can natively run iOS/iPadOS apps now) as well as Java (translated real-time running Rosetta 2 that is built in. You won't even notice 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



info from the video: Java is not a native M1 application, therefore it must make use of Rosetta 2 emulation.



he compared the Baseline 7-core GPU MacBook Air to the Baseline 8-core GPU MacBook Pro. MINECRAFT CRAFTING produced the world (same seed on both) about a second faster however, the MacBook Air seemed to be getting a bit more FPS for some reason (he was using same settings for graphics on both).



This comparison has a problem. He did not shut down vsync which means that the FPS is only 60 FPS. It would be interesting to see how far it could go.



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