Mojang prepping native Minecraft launcher for OS X

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/launching-minecraft-os-x-might-become-easier-new-native-launcher' title="Mojang prepping native Minecraft launcher for OS X"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/minecraft_windows_81.jpg?itok=6O5-t2K8' />[/url]</p> <p>Minecraft has been available on OS X for a long time, but Mac gamers have so far had to use a Java launcher to start the sandbox game. Now, Minecraft's developer Mojang has created an early version of a native OS X launcher for the game that should make it easier for Mac players to get started.</p> <!--break--> <p>A post on the Reddit Minecraft page has a link to the new Mac OS X launcher. Mojang stated:</p>
<p>It does not require Java to be installed, nor any other dependencies. Just open up the link, drag the Minecraft icon to your applications folder, and you're all done. That's it.</p> <p>There is one caveat: You must be running at least Mac OS X Lion (10.7) or newer. Sorry, but Java itself isn't supported on anything lower. Sad</p> <p>Please give it a test and let me know any issues you encounter with it. Note that the visual launcher itself has not changed, so any bugs in that are probably pre-existing and we aren't looking to fix those right now (but will very soon; there's some big changes coming!). We will test the self-updating a few times over the course of the day, so be prepared to allow it to download up to 55MB a few times over.</p>
<p>Mojang is looking for players to give feedback on the native OS X Minecraft launcher. It adds that while this early version is a bit slow, it will "be much, much faster" when the final version of the launcher is released.</p> <p>Source: Reddit</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
