Java Yosemite Upgrade My Mid

And, what is even better is that this should be a pretty comprehensive fix, with rebuilt launcher and bundled Java (to try to get everyone on 64-bit, the latest version, and kept up to date).

Mojang is of little help so far and seems unconcerned.

Read my update below, as Mojang finally seems to be working on a fix ) The fix options so far are to 1) Install an old, specially modified version of Java 6 released by Apple, or 2) install the latest Java version 8 from Oracle and implement a workaround.

Fortunately, the latter (a MUCH better option, IMO) is not that difficult.

The article is long due to detail the steps are relatively easy ).

While a month is quite a while to wait for such a crucial update from a major software vendor, Mojang at least had access to Yosemite since the PUBLIC beta offering on July 24th, 2014.

And, one might expect that they started testing Minecraft on Yosemite, along with other software developers, back on June 2nd, 2014.

Otherwise, skip to the next section below to get on with the fix.

I usually find it best to wait for the dust to settle after a major software release.

Java Yosemite Upgrade My Mid

I had not been reading about any crucial problems so I decided to upgrade my mid-2013 MacBook Air, as I primarily use my desktop for business work.

They responded as if they were unaware of the issue and recommended I report the bug.

I started looking at the bug reporting system and noted several tickets addressing or related to the issue.

After some more exchanges with MojangSupport, they basically said they were billing and account support.

For other support, submit a bug report (to an ignored bug reporting system Anyone see a problem here).

Apparently they have no actual customer support for this kind of problem.

Mojang seems more structured more like an open-source project.

If youre not enough of a geek to figure out setting up an account and installing Minecraft, you are left searching for assistance.

Ive talked to parents, for example, who have been interested in Minecraft for their kids, but felt intimidated over how to get it going.

It isnt that hard, and its well worth the effort, but most people are used to simple installers.

Maybe they just arent in any hurry to fix problems on non-Microsoft platforms Maybe Steve Ballmer was sent over on a last contract project to teach proper support etiquette jk.

Yet another, is that there is a problem with Java 78 on dedicated GPUs, causing everyone to hold off.

At the very least, let us know what is going on And please, dont pretend there is no problem.

After all, people can (2) While I didnt test it, there were mixed reports when I was first dealing with this problem click the more info, go to Apples support page, download and install Apples modified Java 6, and get Minecraft working again.

As noted, I dont feel that is a good solution, and certainly is a pretty lame thing to just leave the way it is by Mojang.

But, maybe the crucial language Ive used could be deemed a bit over the top.

I seriously dont remember installing Java when I bought my Mavericks based laptop or when I upgraded my desktop to Mavericks.

But I, and the above friend, are almost positive the process wasnt the same.
