So I just got a new Macbook Pro. Now, first, let me tell you that I know they're not meant for gaming. But, they are meant to last. My Macbook seems to overheat (to the point of leaving burns on my legs) while playing Minecraft (maybe an hour to an hour and a half).
I have my settings set pretty high (Render/normal, smooth lighting, max fps, fast graphics, etc).
It seems my fans only start when the heat has gone too far. Is there any way I can change this? Minecraft settings, Mac Settings, App Store downloads? Anything?
EDIT:
My Macbook is the 13" and the cheaper of the 2 13"'s.
Just about any laptop is going to get hotter than hell playing Minecraft. I have a 2011 15" MBP that I occasionally use for minecraft when traveling and that quad i7 and discrete GPU get insanely hot without using a cooling pad.

Might want to check out your hardware. That being said, MC does uses a lot of RAM.

All macs turn into lava fountains when put under video card stress, so you gotta be proactive about that.

Retired StaffMinecraft only uses a lot of RAM if you let it. It runs just fine with only 512MB given to it. And that's with mods and HD textures.
