Save pudquick/7518753 to your computer and use it in GitHub Desktop.
| These instructions are for Mac OS X 10.7.3 and later (those that can run Oracle's Java 7). | |
| This assumes you have the Java 7 JDK installed from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html | |
| When you download and install Minecraft.app into /Applications, you can control-click or right-click on the Minecraft.app file and "Show Package Contents". | |
| Inside the "Contents" folder inside, there is a "Info.plist" file, which is plain text. Open this "Info.plist" file in a text editor of your choice and replace the contents with the "Info.plist" listed below. | |
| Then open the Terminal and run the following commands: | |
| touch /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/LaunchGame.txt | |
| This will create a blank text file called "LaunchGame" inside the Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS folder. | |
| Open the file and paste in the contents of the "LaunchGame" listed below. | |
| Then run these commands in the Terminal: | |
| mv /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/LaunchGame.txt /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/LaunchGame | |
| chmod +x /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/LaunchGame | |
| As a last step - you should be able to double-click Minecraft.app and now it will launch using Java 7 (assuming it's installed). If you get an error message about an unknown developer, you may either have to adjust your Gatekeeper security settings in OS X or (easier) if you're an admin, you can just control-click / right-click on Minecraft.app and select "Open" and it will let you open the file successfully. Once you've done this once, double-click should work from that point on. |

buddard, your issue might be that MacOS checks the Info.plist file and finds the "Java" and assumes that you need Apple Java (6) and then sees that you don't have Apple Java installed so it puts up a dialog box and stops. If you change the "Java" to anything else (I suggest "JavaX"), MacOS won't know that you are trying to use Java and won't put up the dialog box. Then, LaunchGame will work.
If you want a more general purpose solution (not a Minecraft specific one like LaunchGame), you can check out https://github.com/tofi86/universalJavaApplicationStub here at GitHub.
I documented the process of using universalJavaApplicationStub for Minecraft on my blog:

Well, hmm. I can't get it to work with Java 8u60 on 10.10.5 with latest minecraft. The bootloader opens but I can't get the game to run. Here is what I see in the log when I try to 'Play'

Zulith, did you have Java 1.8.0 u40 and then upgrade to Java 1.8.0 u60? Perhaps /usr/bin/java is linked to u40 but it's already been removed and replaced by u60. It's trying to execute /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java even though it seems to use u60 in other areas.
When I run it in the terminal it just says
Error: Unable to access jarfile /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/Java/Bootstrap.jar

I'm having similar problems guys
Here's what my console says when I click on minecraft:

Okay, finally got Minecraft working on my ancient Mac running OSX 10.7.5 (Lion, I believe, no I refuse to upgrade!).
The solution is to forget all of the above github, which did not work at all (missing bootstrap.jar, launcher exit, etc.), oh, except, do install the latest Java from Oracle (not Apple): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
What worked for me was to go to mc-launcher.com, click on Minecraft, click the Uncompressed MacOS jar file download. Click Skip Ad in the top right (the popups and main page are all spam!) and you will get TLauncher-MC.jar in Downloads. Double click it, open it, DO NOT install the java runtime for OSX from Apple if prompted, (install the one from Oracle), click Install and Enter, create an account by clicking the green plus sign (or add your existing mojang account), (I unchecked the elyby skins). Click Save Account. Click the Home icon in the bottom right. Then Install and Enter. That's it!
I'm using an early 2007 MacBook I've tried using this method on other apps and it bounces the app up once and then quits unexpectedly I think I know why correct me if im wrong but its a 64 bit app im trying to run and its a 86x64 system
Still works fine with Java 8 on OS X 10.10. I wonder why changing the original required Java version in the plist to "1.8+" doesn't change anything. Besides, "1.6+" (original) should cover Java 8, too, shouldn't it? Looks like there's some more magic that somehow chooses which JRE to use.
