Have you ever played Minecraft on an M1 Mac



Hey!



The positive reviews for the new Macs, particularly the MacBook Pro, make me want to upgrade from my Surface Pro 4 to a Mac. I was a Mac user back in the Snow Leopard to Mavericks days. However I switched to Windows a few decades ago.



I have a variety of software I use which I've seen users say that work perfectly on M1 however do you know whether Minecraft (Java) is compatible with an M1 Mac? It's one my favorite games and I don't think I could replace my computer with one that doesn't support it. Java is available for ARM, but I've never heard of anyone playing Minecraft on an M! Mac at this point!



Thanks! ( Minecraft Servers hope I posted it in the correct place!)



It is highly recommended. Performance-wise, the M1 Mac will blow your mind. It's just a matter of time before Minecraft is optimized for the M1. Until then you'll be able to use either version. Bedrock (because M1's can natively run iOS/iPadOS applications now) as well as Java (translated real-time running Rosetta 2 that is built in. You won't notice a difference).



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



Yes



Information from the video: Java is not a native M1 application, so it needs to make use of Rosetta 2 emulation.



He has compared the Baseline 7 core GPU MacBook Air to the Baseline8-core GPU MacBook Pro. Minecraft Servers generated the world (same seeds on both) about a second faster, but the MacBook Air seemed a bit faster for whatever reason (he was using the same settings for graphics on both).



This comparison is not perfect. He didn't shut down vsync, so the FPS is only 60 FPS. It would have been interesting to see how much it could 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 each one another. You can still play with your friends on Android and an iOS device.
