I have a new iMac that I upgraded to Mojave right after starting it for the first time and then did a time machine restore.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of Minecraft (never been on this computer or old computer from time machine before).
I downloaded and installed latest version of Java.
Everytime I launch Minecraft I can play for about 20 seconds and then my entire screen goes black. I can still hear the Minecraft music but cannot do anything or see anything. I have to hold down my power button to restart the computer.
For playing Minecraft (or any other game), I recommend you install a Windows dual boot. The reason is this:
Minecraft uses the OpenGL rendering API to draw to its window. Apple unfortunately decided to deprecate OpenGL in their latest version of the operating system. It was already buggy in Sierra and later, but this deprecation means they will not fix the bugs. OpenGL will also be gone in the next version of macOS, meaning any program that relies on OpenGL will not work, period.
In Windows however, the OpenGL implementation works just fine. You also do not need to purchase a Windows license to try this. Just go to Microsoft's website to download an ISO of Windows 10, and then follow the instructions on Apple's Bootcamp website. If it works for you, then you can purchase a Windows 10 license code from Microsoft to remove the watermark and other appearance imitations on unlicensed windows.
Well, I'm running Windows 10 through Parallels and still having the same issue. I couldn't get a partition work through boot camp for the life of me. Boot camp just kept failing to install Windows. I even tried a split ISO but that didn't seem to work either. It looks like Mac decided not to make Boot Camp work with their late 2015 models.
I can't find a solution to this problem, getting really tired and fed up with mac in general.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Make sure your system is up to date.
