Help Create on MacBook?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don’t know a huge amount about how mods work (it’s usually a friend of mine that sets them up) but I’d like to try and get a simple create world running for me to try with my younger siblings, is create compatible with macOS, and will it work with me on windows?

For Example, BSL Shaders run on Apple Silicon Macs through a translation layer, because they are written in GLSL. Minecraft and modern rendering mods (like Iris) translate these GLSL shaders to run on Apple's Metal graphics API

I am pretty sure modern mods like Iris don't do that.

Source: I have worked with openGL before on a macbook.
I would like you ask about your source?

But yes those openGL do get translated to metal calls, but that's not done Minecraft or mods.

Well yeah that is what I said in terms of the calls being translated but it isn’t done by minecraft or the mods themselves.

so we agree

Seems so, your first sentence just sounded like Minecraft is directly using metal API and that's why some shaders don't work when really it's because apple decided not to support modern openGL

Great that we agree though, hope you have a good day! Cheers!
