So my issue is very frustrating. I open the minecraft launcher fine, but once I hit the play, the blue bar loads and nothing happens. It doesn't close, freeze, black screen or anything, just nothing. I can hit play over and over and nothing happens. I've literally had this issue for months, not exaggerating. I really want to fix this please. No error prompts, it has never worked on my computer before (I bought this laptop around christmas),

This is my development console log after I hit play.

Pal, when it does this you just have to be patient. There is nothing wrong with your computer, your Java, or anything. When it does this it's literally INSTALLING THE GAME. The green bar will very very slowly progress until it reaches the end, where it will open the Minecraft client. Just let it install, on some computers it will take a few hours, on others its a matter of minutes. It all depends on your internet connection. After it's installed, every other time you launch Minecraft, it should only take a matter of minutes. Another optional piece of advice, and I'm not trying to hate or anything, but ditch the Mac. They are not upgradeable at all for gaming. Hope this helped:)When it does this, it's literally INSTALLING THE GAME. It's gonna take awhile. Just sit back and let the green bar get to the end. The first time, it'll take a while, because it's creating files for the .jar. Just get a cup of Joe and wait it out, pal. Every other time after it loads it should only take a few seconds to launch.

The green bar does load. And then nothing happens. Installing the game is not my problem.

tips: make sure you are using the latest version of the launcher
