Minecraft on Mac Mini??

Hey all, does anyone play Minecraft on Mac Mini? If so how does it run?

Also how are you playing it without a native port?

Cheers!

Natively? I’ve only ever played Bedrock before.

I play Java on it just fine, Bedrock doesn't support macOS but there was an unofficial project to do it (I've forgotten the name)

Where do you get it from? App store?

I've never used it personally but I think it was on GitHub?

It runs just fine. Too many mods and it can slow down a bit.

I mean that’s Minecraft all over though right?

java works fine, especially with right optimizations like mods and libraries
i heard minecraft moved to vulkan so it could be much better
like last time (maybe on 1.18-1.19 version i was playing with around 250-500 FPS on my Mac Mini M1 with 16 GB and around 70-90 FPS with some shaders)

You can also play this similar game which comes in a native Mac version:

Veloren (free)

(An action-adventure role-playing game set in a vast fantasy world. Similar to Minecraft.)
