Minecraft 117 On M1 Mac With Arm64 Java

Minecraft 1.17 on M1 Mac with arm64 java?

I was in a position to play Minecraft using the Azul Zulu eleven JDK built for arm64.

Right now i upgraded Minecraft to model 1.17 which was released lately and has nice new features. Minecraft servers It now requires Java 16 and comes bundled with a x86_64 java binary on MacOS which works on M1 Macs but gives lower than stellar efficiency.

I put in Azul Zulu 16 for arm64 and configured my Minecraft launcher profile to make use of it (path: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-16.jdk/Contents/Residence/bin/java ).

Sadly the game crashes on launch. Has anyone gotten it to work with the arm64 java binary?

Yep, use this GitHub gist as a guild. The explanation it's crashing is that Minecraft makes use of LWJGL which hasn't been compiled for ARM within the Minecraft launcher. You want to make use of MultiMC to change to the LWJGL native JAR that somebody compiled.

Thanks

u/superpenguin612 I exploit Multi-MC, I updated to Zulu 16, however the wrapper is not working. It works just fantastic on 1.16.5 Zulu 11; and 1.12 Zulu 8, but not 16. Any idea why? Does the LWJGL need to be up to date?

It works just superb for me! There should not technically be a "wrapper," per se (there's a distinct GitHub gist that says to make use of a python wrapper command; I've had issues with that so I linked the one the place all it's a must to do is change the Java native and LWJGL). Are you able to post your configuration for MultiMC? I have it operating all the way in which up to 1.17 with Optifine and Zulu 16. Here's an Imgur hyperlink with my whole configuration. I actually deviated from the information because I did not wish to retailer LWJGL in my house folder so I moved it to the instance folder for my 1.16.5 profile. (You can open it by clicking "Instance Folder" in MultiMC) Hope this helps!

Works wonderful for me , i'm also running on the beta model of OSX - i do have a random crash on exit that i'm struggling with however the game itself runs wonderful. I am utilizing mcwrap.py and zulu-16jdk.
