Minecraft Forums

I wanted to download Minecraft on my macbook pro. (Never have downloaded it before) (using safari if that changes anything) I just created a minecraft account and i tried to play the demo to see if it would work. I tried to play it on the browser and it starts to show a Java loading screen thing and then it goes blank. Then the screen turns to this:


Minecraft has crashed!

I have no idea what to do... I tried downloading it too and i click on Minecraft.zip (270 KB) but it didn't work. It ended up saying ("Minecraft" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to trash). If I buy the game will it work? I am not very good with computers.

I had the same problem and had to change a security setting. Go to system preferences, then security and privacy. Then where it says allow applications download from: Click Anywhere. After that you will be able to install and play minecraft. As far as the browser play, I have never been able to get that to work.

If you are new to minecraft, check out my youtube channel. I have great minecraft basic tutorials! http://www.youtube.com/simplimazing
