Hey guys! So I have only played on the X-box and I am thinking about getting Minecraft for my MacBook Pro. I can not get the demo working for me and I am wondering if it is worth the buy? Has anyone played both that can give me a comparison? Or, even better, can some one please give me a WORKING link to a good walkthrough on how to get the demo to work on macs? Thank you so much guys!
Minecraft demo does not work on Macs, this is due to Apple's java policy, and have removed Java's access to be utilized on browsers.
The standalone client works just fine, rest assured.
From a fellow MAC user, it is worth it. To (somewhat) quote Notch, original coder of Minecraft, "Pirate it first, but buy it later." He said something like that, I'm certain.
YES! firstly, mods are harder to install on Macs, Max brightnees is lower on Mac. I have the original Macbook (homosexual IT guys chose them for my school), and it is laggy as Sh|t. But it'll be fine on a pro. Overall pretty much the same as both os use mostly the same files since Minecraft is Java.

You could just turn the computer brightness up in addition to the game brightness, that's what I do. If the Pros are as good as the new all-in-ones then you'll be absolutely fine in regard to lag and FPS and stuff. I don't get a lot of lag client-side on the all-in-ones.
As to installing Mods, I've never installed mods b4, so I can't help you there.
Are you kidding me? It literally takes me 6 double clicks, 1 right click, a few drags, about 4 normal clicks, and a quick rename to install forge, and it takes me about 45 seconds to install non-forge mods. It isn't that hard.
As to the OP, minecraft is definitely worth the buy, though you may want to post your computer details so people can tell you if it will run smoothly or not. I do have a mac (Mid-2011), and Minecraft runs almost perfectly on it with the exception of the occasional mod error.

Ever hear of something called running away? Its like running towards them, but without the confrontation and death.
with Mods etc.
Yes it is worth it
