Overview
Background rant (or, Hello Mojang⦠anyone home?)
Apple officially released OSX Yosemite a month ago on October 16th, 2014. While a month is quite a while to wait for such a crucial update from a major software vendor, Mojang at least had access to Yosemite since the PUBLIC beta offering on July 24th, 2014. And, one might expect that they started testing Minecraft on Yosemite, along with other software developers, back on June 2nd, 2014. Apparently not (or insert other excuse hereâ¦. Microsoft acquisition?)
Actually, there are a few other possible theories. If youâre interested, read on. Otherwise, skip to the next section below to get on with the fix.
I waited about a week before installing Yosemite. I usually find it best to wait for the dust to settle after a major software release. I had not been reading about any crucial problems so I decided to upgrade my mid-2013 MacBook Air, as I primarily use my desktop for business work. Everything seemed great until I tried to launch Minecraft.
I did a bunch of reading and was bit shocked Mojang hadnât addressed the issue yet. So, I contacted @MojangSupport. They responded as if they were unaware of the issue and recommended I report the bug. I started looking at the bug reporting system and noted several tickets addressing or related to the issue. They seemed to be largely ignored. After some more exchanges with @MojangSupport, they basically said they were billing and account support. For other support, submit a bug report (to an ignored bug reporting system? Anyone see a problem here?). Apparently they have no actual customer support for this kind of problem.
One theory is, of course, speculation about the effects of being purchased by Microsoft. Maybe they just arenât in any hurry to fix problems on non-Microsoft platforms? Maybe Steve Ballmer was sent over on a last contract project to teach proper support etiquette? jk
Another is that maybe Apple has a new version of tweaked Java in the works. Yet another, is that there is a problem with Java 7/8 on dedicated GPUs, causing everyone to hold off.
Whatever the reason, Mojang is being quite unprofessional. At the very least, let us know what is going on! And please, donât pretend there is no problem.
So, I decided to try and implement some of the various âfixesâ to see what might be the best way to get Minecraft working with the latest Java release on OS X Yosemite.
Update: Saturday, November 22, 2014
One of my friends feels Iâve maybe been a bit too hard on Mojang. After all, people can click the âmore info,â go to Appleâs support page, download and install Appleâs modified Java 6, and get Minecraft working again. As noted, I donât feel that is a good solution, and certainly is a pretty lame thing to just leave the way it is by Mojang. But, maybe the âcrucialâ language Iâve used could be deemed a bit over the top.
Also, some in the Minecraft support community have been telling me this has been around since Mavericks was introduced, as that is when Apple stopped installing Java by default. I seriously donât remember installing Java when I bought my Mavericks based laptop or when I upgraded my desktop to Mavericks. Maybe thatâs old age creeping in on my memory. ? But I, and the above friend, are almost positive the process wasnât the same.
Update: Friday, December 12, 2014
Good news! It appears Mojang is actually working on a fix. And, what is even better is that this should be a pretty comprehensive fix, with rebuilt launcher and bundled Java (to try to get everyone on 64-bit, the latest version, and kept up to date). I guess a large percentage of their user-base is still on old versions and/or 32-bit java, even on new machines. Aside from taking WAY too long and not communicating well, kudos Mojang! The bad news, itâs going to be a while yet (sometime early next year). So, if youâre hankering for some Minecraft over the holidays, it might be worth trying our tutorial.
Update: Saturday, September 12, 2015
Mojang releases the fix! ? Actually, it is much better than a fix. Mojang finally did this right and bundled everything needed into one package/app. This way, everything should always be running the latest and greatest, and the install is as simple as any other Mac app. You just drag the .app file to your Applications folder!
Here is the announcement of the new Mac Minecraft installer for anyone interested.
Of course, you can get this by visiting Minecraft.net downloads area.
YAY!
The âfixâ
A real fix needs to come from Mojang, in terms of a new launcher that properly recognizes other Java versions (or the latest version), as well as install instructions for Java as needed. Until then, here is a âfixâ you can implement yourself.
Disclaimer: Iâm no expert on Minecraft code or Java. Minecraft is my ONLY Java based concern here, so I did no testing to see if this fix impacts other Java dependencies. Also, all my Macs previously had Appleâs Java 6 installed. I donât have a âcleanâ Yosemite install to try this on, but my guess is that it would work. (If you try it, Iâd LOVE to hear in the comments below! Iâm going to try and do some testing soon.) In other words, try this at your own risk.
Important: As noted above, there seems to be an unresolved Java issue where version 7 and 8 automatically use a dedicated GPU if available (vs integrated GPU). This might impact battery performance negatively until resolved (integrated GPUs typically use far less energy and might be quite capable of running Minecraft). Iâm running a mid-2013 MacBook Air with integrated Intel HD Graphics 5000, so this is not an issue for me.
Check out our YouTube video instructions:
After upgrading to Yosemite (or on a new Yosemite based machine/install), youâll get a dialog similar to this one when you try to launch Minecraft. âTo open âMinecraft.appâ you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. Click âMore infoâ¦â to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.â
Step 1 â Remove old Java
Letâs try a basic attempt to get rid of old versions of Java. (Note: I realize some of the guts of Appleâs Java 6 install go deeper, but this gets rid of the obvious stuff, and should render it non-functional as far as I can tell.) Caution: If you need Java for other reasons, you might not want to do this without a bit more research and/or testing.
Note: I donât think youâll see anything JavaScript related in any of these, but if so, you can ignore that, as JavaScript is a different than Java.
Directly inside your hard drive, youâll see a Library folder. First look in Internet Plug-ins and get rid of anything Java related (probably just a Java applet plugin).
Also under the Library folder, there might be a Java folder. Toss that if it exists.
.
Do the same under the âhomeâ (Hard Drive/Users/username/) Library folder, which Apple has hidden, making it a bit more tricky to access. When you are at Finder (ie: click on your Desktop to make it the âactiveâ app), drop-down the âGoâ menu and notice a âLibraryâ folder appears if you hold the âoptionâ key down (and disappears if you release it). Select that Library folder and it should open.
Same as above, check your Internet Plug-ins folder (for Java-related items) and look for a Java folder.
Empty your trash (if youâre sure there isnât anything else in there you need. I say this as I used to have a client who stored stuff in there they didnât think they might need again, but never emptied it⦠eeek!)
Update: Tuesday, November 18, 2014
My desktop iMac has an additional Java install location with an alias into the above folders. It is located at:
.
I havenât upgraded this system to Yosemite yet, but am planning to do so in the next few days. It is my production machine, and is the result of at least a couple of years of OS X upgrades (last clean install was probably Snow Leopard). Iâm going to test also trashing this Java folder, but if this is your case, you might want to wait until Iâve reported back.
Step 2 â Install Java
Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
Open Safari, go to Oracle.com and look for the Downloads menu. To the left side, you should see âJava for your computer.â This will take you to the following page:
You should just be able to hit the red âFree Java Downloadâ button, but you could also go to the âAll Java Downloadsâ link on the left and pick the appropriate version for Mac OS X.
Youâll get a file currently called: jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg
Install this. There isnât anything tricky, but it will need your admin password. On completion, it asks you to test it with your browser. You donât need to do that or worry about the results (FYI: mine indicated Java wasnât working).
Step 3 â Configure Java
It is a really good idea to change the default configuration of Java for safety purposes.
Under your system Preferences, there should be a new Java control panel. Open it. Weâre going to go to the Security tab and uncheck âEnable Java content in the browser (Only disabled for this user).â
This is an important step, as most of the Java insecurities youâve probably read so much about over the last year or two were vulnerabilities accessed via web-sites being visited. In other words, they were browser related. You should almost never need Java via the browser (or if you did for some reason, only enable it for that one trusted purpose, then disable it again).
Note: pay attention to the warning that this only applies to the current logged in user if you have multiple users on your computer. If so, remember to disable it for other users as well!
Another Note: Part of the good aspect of Appleâs special version of Java 6 is that they had removed the ability for it to function via browsers. So, weâre effectively trying to replicate that security advantage via these settings. If you are unsure, check individual browser settings to be sure Java (not JavaScript) is disabled.
Step 4 â Download Minecraft
To make this âfixâ work, youâll need the Linux version of Minecraft (.jar file) from Minecraft.net.
Go to Minecraft.net and look on the right side under the âGet Minecraftâ button for the âAlready bought the game?â and click the âDownload it hereâ link.
That should take you to this page:
Click on âShow all platformsâ and download the Minecraft.jar under âMinecraft for Linux/Otherâ
This file is going to be your new âlauncherâ or âapplicationâ for Minecraft (instead of the Minecraft.app file you already have).
You can put this file in your Applications, or maybe on your Desktop (or an alias to it on your Desktop).
Step 5 â Play Minecraft!
Test it out!
Double-click Minecraft.jar (you might have to âright-clickâ (or ctrl-click) the icon, and then select âOpenâ the first time so it becomes trusted by OSX) and you should get the normal Minecraft Launcher youâre used to seeing. Click Play if youâre logged in and you should soon be playing Minecraft!
If want to be sure youâre running on Java 8, you can bring up the âdebugâ information youâd use to get your coordinates, etc. (Typically F3, so hold down the Function key and press F3, ie: fn + F3).
You should see, in the upper right, âJava: 1.8.0_25 54bitâ similar to the following screenshot:
Of course, if Oracle updates Java this will vary and you SHOULD be able to update Java via the control panel or by downloading and installing future updates. Youâll want to keep an eye on this, as new releases often include security patches (and you wonât get them via Apple updates).
Note: The big reason I went with Java 8 vs Appleâs Java 6 is that there have been a bunch of security holes patched since Apple released it. Iâm also pretty sure Iâm seeing decreased CPU load on Java 8 as well (which Iâd also expect). As mentioned above, my MacBook Air doesnât have a dedicated GPU, so if youâre a MacBook Pro user, you might want to use Apple Java 6 or limit your mobile (on battery) Minecraft time.
So, just launch that new Minecraft.jar to launch Minecraft, just like you used to launch using Minecraft.app.
Enjoy! Please leave a comment below letting me know if it worked (or not). Thanks!
Step 6 (optional) â Make it pretty!
Of course, it bugs me that my old Minecraft.app has a pretty Minecraft grass block icon, while my new Minecraft.jar is just a generic Java app icon. We need to fix that! ?
Do âget infoâ (Apple + i) on both the Minecraft.app and Minecraft.jar files. Select the little icon in the upper left of the info window (it will highlight) of Minecraft.app and go to Edit -> Copy. Then select the JAR icon in the other info window and do Edit -> Paste.
Youâre Minecraft.jar icon should now be nice and pretty like your old Minecraft app.
Step 7 (optional) â Play with a console controller?
Controllers â I love this little app so much, I just had to mention it. If youâd rather play Minecraft with a console controller rather than your keyboard, there is an excellent way to do so on the Mac. It even supports PS3 controllers via Bluetooth with the native Mac hardware Bluetooth (OSX Lion and above). (If youâve ever tried to make a console controller work with Windows, youâll quickly recognize the value of this app.)
Please buy the app and send the author a note asking to support âtoggleâ type key settings. Youâll know what I mean if youâre used to crouch in Minecraft on the PS3. Currently youâll have to map crouch to a button that is easy to keep pressed down while youâre working the other controls. A âtoggleâ would allow a button to change the state until pressed again. That would be a really nice addition to an already awesome app.

Special thanks to BoaConstructor for the helpful article. While I read a bunch of articles on the topic, this one ended up being the closest to what I found to work best (though, I found I didnât need the Java JDK step, and wanted to refine it a bit more).

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.
It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. Itâs pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.
What's New:
1.16.3 includes two fixes listed below:
1.16.1 is a minor update to Java Edition released on June 24, 2020, which fixes stability issues with Realms. It is not compatible with 1.16 servers.
1.16, the first release of the Nether Update, is a major update to Java Edition announced at MINECON Live 2019 and released on June 23, 2020. This update overhauls the Nether by adding four new biomes, four new mobs (the piglin, hoglin, zoglin, and strider), and a multitude of new blocks, including many variants of blackstone as well as the respawn anchor used to set the player's spawnpoint in the Nether. It also adds a new netherite tier of equipment, obtained through ancient debris found rarely throughout the Nether.
