Minecraft on Apple Silicon

In this gist, you can find the steps to run Minecraft 1.16.4 natively on Apple Silicon (AS), without needing Rosetta 2 translation of the dependencies (mainly LWJGL and related libraries).

While it's possible to use a launcher like MultiMC to have a prettier way to run the game on AS, it requires installing even more dependencies (like QT) which take time and are difficult to distribute. Therefore, I've put together a command line-based launcher tool using a couple shell & Python scripts.

To get up and running quickly, follow the steps below. Otherwise, for more detail, watch my YouTube video.

How to run Windows 11 on ARM in QEMU 6.1 on Apple Silicon Mac

0. Follow the excellent gist here, up to and including step 7 : https://gist.github.com/niw/e4313b9c14e968764a52375da41b4278

1. I converted my VHDX to qcow2 - I doubt if that's significant, but YMMV:

./qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 ~/Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us__22454-orig.VHDX Windows11.img

2. Run qemu with a slightly modified command-line. It may not be the most efficient, but it worked for me:

(NB: adapted from this Ask Ubuntu thread -- tested to work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS through Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy).

Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix.

TL;DR

Install open-vm-tools and run:

sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other
