Have you ever played Minecraft on an M1 Mac
Hey!
The reviews of the new Macs, specifically the MacBook Pro, make me want to upgrade 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 programs that I use that I've heard people say work fine on M1 however, do you know whether Minecraft (Java) is compatible with an M1 Mac? It's one of my most played games and I don't think I could replace my PC with one that didn't run my favourite game. I'm aware Java exists for ARM however I haven't 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. It's possible to run either version until then. Bedrock (because M1's are able to natively run iOS/iPadOS apps now) as well as Java (translated real-time running Rosetta 2 that is built into. You won't even notice the differences.
I've side loaded Minecraft to my M1 Mac but keyboard and mouse aren't working. How did you side load it?
yes
Information from the video: Java does not have a native M1 application, so it has to use Rosetta 2 Emulation.
He was comparing the Baseline 7 core GPU MacBook Air to the Baseline8-core GPU MacBook Pro. SO LITTLE TIME produced the world (same seeds on both) like a second quicker however the MacBook Air seemed a bit faster for whatever reason (he was using the same settings for graphics on both).
This comparison has a problem. He left vsync running and the FPS is limited to 60 FPS. It would've been interesting to find out how high it could really go.
iOS, Android and Windows 10 versions of Minecraft all play nicely together, but the PC and Mac versions of Minecraft will not work with a Pocket Edition Realms server. You can still play with your friends on Android and an iOS device.
