Have you played Minecraft on an M1 Mac?



Hi there!



The reviews of the latest Macs, especially the MacBook Pro, make me want to upgrade from my Surface Pro 4 to a Mac. I used to be a Mac user back in the Snow Leopard to Mavericks days but I changed to Windows some time ago.



I have a lot of programs that which I've heard are compatible on M1, but do you know if Minecraft (Java) is compatible on an M1 Mac. It's one my favorite games and I don't believe I could replace my laptop with one that does not support it. Java is available for ARM however I've not heard of anyone playing Minecraft on an M! 30TT Mac at this point!



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



It is highly recommended. The M1 Mac will blow your surface off the board performance-wise. It's only a matter time until Minecraft is optimized for the M1. You can run both versions until then. Bedrock (because M1's are able to run natively applications for iOS/iPadOS today) and Java (translated in real time running Rosetta 2 which is built in. There is no noticeable difference).



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



yes



Information from the video: Java does not have a native M1 application, so it has to utilize Rosetta 2 Emulation.



He has compared the Baseline 7 core GPU MacBook Air to the Baseline8-core GPU MacBook Pro. The MBP created the world (same seeds on both) at a speed of a second however the MacBook Air seemed a bit faster for whatever reason (he was using the same graphics settings on both).



This comparison has a problem. He left vsync running, so the FPS is limited to 60 FPS. It would be interesting to see how high it can go.



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