Making Progress on Apple Silicon Support
Wed, 03/29/2023 - 02:26 (edited)

Updated 3/28


I am happy to report that I have successfully built MCreator for arm64 macOS machines.

A few notes:

  • JNA features such as discord RPC have been removed because I don't know how to port low-level code
  • A few visual changes to accommodate for new macOS requirements, also just to make things look better.
  • JDK updated to a modified version of Bellsoft Liberica Standard 17.0.6+10 arm64
  • Verify nativeness with Right click > Get info (Apple Silicon), with Activity Monitor (CPU>Kind), or by running lipo -info.
  • Performance is obviously better, most of the lags and stutters are no more. Launching the app, editing procedures, saving an element, opening a workspace, etc. are now significantly faster. Minecraft also runs native, woohoo, now you can finally walk around without lagging to death.

The source code is available at https://github.com/willpill/MCreator

Please test this for issues, thanks bye.

Neat!

Unfortunately, I can't open it on my MacBook Air M1.
