For some reason, I get this weird folder thing but I can't find where the actual application is.

It doesn't work for me either. And the worst thing is it says [Process Completed]! Heres the terminal report:

/Volumes/MCreator\ 1.8.3\ 1/MCreator183/mcreator.command ; exit;
/Volumes/MCreator 1.8.3 1/MCreator183/mcreator.command: line 8: cd: /Volumes/MCreator: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MCreator 1.8.3 1/MCreator183/mcreator.command: line 14: ./jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java: No such file or directory

Do not open MCreator from image, copy it on the mac first.

Um... is there a less complicated way of doing this? My understanding of computers & java is very limited.

We are planning to improve the setup process for Mac in the next update if everything goes according to the plans.

What was necessary for me:

install/update libpng via homebrew (this took a while)
give myself read/write access to username/.mcreator (folder is hidden, press cmd+shift+period to toggle visibility) and its contents (this can be done by running chmod -R +rw (delete this and drag folder here) )
give myself read/write access to the mcreator183 folder and its contents, using the same method as above
restart my computer
