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.

# Implementation of the MetaWeblog API for my personal Ruby static blog generator.
# This is not even nearly idiomatic Ruby. There are all kinds of issues.
# (What's with the method interiors all being mushed-up together?)
# But -- it's also worked flawlessly for five years without my having to edit it.
# It won't work for anyone else as-is — but if it helps anyone
# to do a MetaWeblog API implementation, then cool.
