And there is such a think in this case.Ĭolin Munro, at TattieBogle, released a driver as early as 2006, which appears not to have been updated since 2012. So we require a driver created by another party.
Unfortunately, Microsoft, doesn’t feel the need to supply drivers for Mac users for their hardware, which is unfortunate and leaves the user with the mess to solve by themselves. I was too lazy to register for the Atlasssian account to pile on to this same bug.MacOS X does not natively come with drivers for the XBox 360 controller, which makes sense, it’s not their responsibility to provide hardware drivers for 3rd party hardware manufacturers, especially when they choose to swerve away from standards … ? Maybe Mojang will fix this.? I found a Mojang-run Minecraft Launcher bug tracker with this same issue.
I put Minecraft.jar in /Users/Shared where the managed accounts can open it, and told the kids to use that to start Minecraft. On the MacBook Pro, I have two regular accounts for my wife and me, and two managed accounts for the kids. This is the solution I'm using currently. I have the JDK installed, not sure if this would work with just the JRE.
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 believe there must be a bug in their software or something. The developers intend for this to work as far as I can tell. Just no dice yet and there is no main support channels to reach them thru.Īs 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. That was my original thought as well so I posted there prior to posting here. I do think you're going to get better traction on the Minecraft forum for this questions.
I can overwrite the install from another users profile on the system and then it works from that profile only. It installed and worked on this computer ok but just for whatever account it's installed to directly. It was actually purchased on a different computer at my parents. t's possible the game is linked to the account you used when the purchase was made Though I'm not sure if that will confuse the app since it's likely looking in that specific location it was installed. When I get home maybe I'll try to move that folder and see if it helps. 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. Ok, first off I installed it in the admin account originally and on my latest try.
