I'm trying to setup Minecraft for my daughters on their own OS X accounts of our new computer. At this point I'm using normal un-restricted accounts while I troubleshoot. Whatever account I "install" minecraft on it will work. But if I switch users and launch it then I get the error "Minecraft updater - Unable to start Minecraft, if you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again."

I am not running the DMG. I've installed it via drag and drop to the apps folder and then deleted the dmg etc. So it works on the users account that I install it but that error pops up on any other accounts that I try to open minecraft with later.

The fix I found was to look at the permissions of the Application. /Applications/Minecraft.app I noticed that they were Owner: R+W,Admin: RO, Everyone: RO. I initially changed this at the app level by doing a "Get Info" and changing them to all being R+W. This did not fix it. I then navigated to the app file and right-clicked and selected "Show Package Contents". Then selected the "Contents" Folder and right-clicked and selecting "Get Info". At this info page I unlocked(bottom right corner) and changed both admin and everyone to R+W. then I selected the gear (bottom middle) and selected "Apply to enclosed Items...". At the prompt click "OK". then the app opens in the other accounts.

The root application should be installed in the Applications folder. If it's parked somewhere in a users folder that's likely the issue for trying to run under multiple accounts. If it is already in the applications folder it's possible the game is linked to the account you used when the purchase was made, but I don't know for sure. I do think you're going to get better traction on the Minecraft forum for this questions. - as far as OS X is concerned it's as you said "This *should* work." - but this assumes it should work the way you want and not the way the developers intended.

Ok, first off I installed it in the admin account originally and on my latest try. As far as "root". It's in the root applications folder but the "application support" folder for minecraft is in my admin user profile and not the root from what I can tell. When I get home maybe I'll try to move that folder and see if it helps. Though I'm not sure if that will confuse the app since it's likely looking in that specific location it was installed.

No, it's not. It was actually purchased on a different computer at my parents. It installed and worked on this computer ok but just for whatever account it's installed to directly. I can overwrite the install from another users profile on the system and then it works from that profile only.

The developers intend for this to work as far as I can tell. It just doesn't. I believe there must be a bug in their software or something. That link even proves this by mentioning how to set things up with multiple users and block each other from using each-others worlds etc.:)

I'm 70% sure it didn't auto generate those files for the new user accounts on our brand new system though. So that could be the problem. Maybe I can duplicate those files from the user account that works and paste them for one of the new users. Worth a shot...

John, as of today, I have the exact same issue as you experienced. Although I did have Minecraft working on multiple user accounts on a MacBook Pro running 10.10.5 *before* updating to the new Mac launcher for Minecraft. After I updated to the new Minecraft launcher this morning, I started having this issue. I agree with your hunch that this is likely a bug in the new Minecraft launcher for Mac. Possible solutions:

ESTABA Intentando descargar el Minecraft premium al que hace? UNOS meses habia borrado y Ahora no me deja ... no se Por Que, en solitario Pero me Aparecen los enlaces Como Si estuvieran Escritos, Haber si me explico, no Llevan un ningn lado, como no fueran enlaces. Aqui les pongo lo que me dice

I encountered this recently. What I discovered is that the .app is correctly installed in /Applications However the launcher and related data is installed to /Users//Library/Application Support/minecraft Every other user that attempted to launch the .app would fail with the error the OP reported. Simply changing the .app and it's Contents folder to R+W for everyone did not solve my particular issue.

- but there's an issue - Oculus has deactivated the game, so if you're late to the Minecraft party, I'm not sure what you can do. This post is for users who already have the Oculus version of Minecraft installed, but are unable to get it working. Actually I've had Minecraft installed since 2017, but in recent years I got the dreaded "you need Win10 1809" error - and my Win10 version is much ahead of the old 1809 version.

Btw, spent some more time on the above issue, and it seems to be quite simple - probably no need to use Regedit. The main issue is that SteamVR may take over the OpenXR runtime - and then Oculus Minecraft no longer works. But Minecraft should work when setting the Oculus app to take over the OpenXR runtime. When done so, some SteamVR games or apps may no longer work - and here's how to set the OpenXR runtime back to SteamVR:

Brink Traveler (Steam version) is one app needing SteamVR to be set as OpenXR runtime - so you may need to change it back and forth to Oculus or Steam depending on the games or apps you want to experience. 2c.

No problem! I found this on some random page on Minecraft.net months ago and archived it in a Discord chat. Saw this post with all these steps and figured this solution may be easier for a lot of people, so I wanted to throw it out there!

I use pipewire as my audio system and have only good things to say about the experience using Bluetooth headphones! That is, if it weren't for Minecraft not working on them (despite working when an audio device is plugged into the headphone jack at the back of the motherboard). When I go into the Minecraft audio settings, it seems to be using JACK for audio, and it does not see any audio device on my system. Could someone assist? I tried my best finding solutions on the internet to no avail. I was hoping launching the game using pw-jack would have worked, but nothing really changed.

I have tried creating a rule in both ESET and Windows firewall to allow the connection, but that hasn't seemed to work. Attached are screenshots of the rule I have tried to create to allow the port. I left everything in the remote field completely blank.

I'm in the remote tab, and I don't see any option to change LAN/WAN. I tried switching the port from the local to remote tab and trying that, but that didn't seem to work. Is there a different IP I have to enter? The one for the router? I think the IP for the router is open on the port, but the one for the computer still says it is closed. Do both have to be open in order for people to connect?

By the exe, do you mean selecting the folder for the server under where it says applications in the local tab? Or something with inputting an IP in one of the fields? I tried both of those and neither worked, but I may have misunderstood your advice.

A portforward from the router to the local LAN address of the computer who have the minecraft server and also you need to make sure that the computer doesn't get a new IP from the router's DHCP so the portforward rule will not break.

Thank you everyone for your help! I finally got it working, and it turns out the problem was just that I was giving the other person the wrong IP to join the server, and nothing with ESET at all lol.

By default, Minecraft: Java Edition will run on the Power Saving GPU instead of the High Performance GPU which will prevent Game Capture from working on multi-GPU systems like laptops and all-in-ones. This troubleshooting guide will provide instructions on how to change the GPU Minecraft is running on so that it is compatible with the Game Capture source.

I won't pretend to understand half of what Minecraft players do - giant redstone computer that can somehow run Doom? Sure, whatever. A working AI pet that you have to feed and play with? Grand. I can make a nice little medieval shack with a small manual farm. But it compels me, and the new snapshot continues to do so. Combined with a server-side mod, has allowed for one player to create working physics. It's not blender, and it's not a third-party addon. I'll try to explain it by using PatboxPL's own words as well as seemingly in-the-know commenters, since to be entirely honest, I've no clue how any of it works. "Yes this is real," Xeterios said. "New snapshot added the block display entity, which allows you to put a block with custom data in your world."RELATED: Minecraft's New DLC Camp Enderwood Is A Toy Ad First, Video Game SecondDisplay entities don't have physics or collisions, as one user pointed out, but PatboxPL replied, "They don't, I just added it (via rayon library + polymer). Still works with vanilla client (so ideal for MC servers)!" This means that the server handles the physics, so the client doesn't have to download anything or fiddle with mods. That beingn said, it looks a little funky if you get too close.
