- As a die hard Mac user and a frequent Minecraft player, I feel like the Bedrock edition needs to come to Mac. There's no reason for why it shouldn't - Minecraft Education edition is playable on macOS, and at its core is the same codebase as Bedrock Edition.

Does it work on Windows 7 / 8?¶
Can You Get Minecraft Bedrock On Macbook Air
No, due to the amount of work required to get this running on Windows. Play the Windows 10 Edition instead if you can.Note that you can not play Minecraft in the current version of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), as the mouse input is broken due to an issue with its graphic stack.
How does it work?¶
The project runs the native libraries from the Android version directly on your computer. This is accomplished by fixing the incompatibilities between the libc used on Android and the one used on desktop Linux or OS X (Android - Bionic; Linux - glibc). This is a simple compatibility layer which doesn’t impact performance in any significant way; it’s similar to Wine, but much more lightweight and simple. Aditionally, all Android-specific code has been rewritten to run on Linux (AppPlatform, Store, Xbox Live, etc.).
Where are my worlds?¶
Linux: ~/.local/share/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds
Linux (Flatpak): ~/.var/app/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher/data/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds
Mac OS X: ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds
Each world has its own directory. If you have multiple worlds, you can identify them by their name in levelname.txt found in each world.
The mcpelauncher-server creates and expects its world files in world.
Can I use resource packs?¶
Yes, put them in ~/.local/share/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/resource_packs.
How To Get Minecraft Bedrock On Mac 1.16
(For Flatpak) ~/.var/app/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher/data/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/resource_packs
For Mac OS X, put them in ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/resource_packs.
Shaders are also resource packs. (Shaders must be GLSL based and must be compatible with your graphics drivers)
Note: You will probably need to extract .zip and .mcpack files into their own subdirectory for them to work properly.
Why would I want to use this projects server, instead of the official one?¶
If…
- the official one doesn’t work for you
- you need scripting on the server
- some rarely needed particular modding capabilities
