![]() This is a “new feature” by Apple ostensibly provided to protect users from deleting or moving critical system files. The problem we ran into, however, is the LIBRARY folder in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is “hidden” by default. It showed the file path to Minecraft files on our Mac: To learn how to transfer the saved Minecraft files in the Mac OS X operating system, we turned (of course) to YouTube tutorials like this one. One of our challenges was figuring out how to transfer his saved Minecraft virtual worlds (which he’s spent literally hundreds of hours creating over the past six months) from the old hard drive to the new one. This month I’ve installed a new (and larger) hard drive on my laptop, so that’s necessitated re-installation of all our software programs as well as data migration for programs which save files in places other than my documents folder. My Mac laptop is our only home computer with adequate RAM and processor speed to run the program, so he’s regularly competing with me these days for laptop screen time. I was too lazy to register for the Atlasssian account to pile on to this same bug.My 14 year old son is really into the online world / game simulation Minecraft. ? Maybe Mojang will fix this.? I found a Mojang-run Minecraft Launcher bug tracker with this same issue.I put Minecraft.jar in /Users/Shared where the managed accounts can open it, and told the kids to use that to start Minecraft. On the MacBook Pro, I have two regular accounts for my wife and me, and two managed accounts for the kids. This is the solution I'm using currently. I have the JDK installed, not sure if this would work with just the JRE. Follow the advice I found at and use the Linux launcher, Minecraft.jar, on my Mac.Requires the old Java 6 runtime environment, so this may not be a desirable solution. Available from Mojang as Minecraft_legacy.dmg. I agree with your hunch that this is likely a bug in the new Minecraft launcher for Mac. After I updated to the new Minecraft launcher this morning, I started having this issue. Although I did have Minecraft working on multiple user accounts on a MacBook Pro running 10.10.5 *before* updating to the new Mac launcher for Minecraft. John, as of today, I have the exact same issue as you experienced. Thanks for the help or any other ideas □ That link even proves this by mentioning how to set things up with multiple users and block each other from using each-others worlds etc.:) I believe there must be a bug in their software or something. The developers intend for this to work as far as I can tell. Just no dice yet and there is no main support channels to reach them thru.Īs far as OS X is concerned it's as you said "This *should* work." - but this assumes it should work the way you want and not the way the developers intended. That was my original thought as well so I posted there prior to posting here. I do think you're going to get better traction on the Minecraft forum for this questions. I can overwrite the install from another users profile on the system and then it works from that profile only. It installed and worked on this computer ok but just for whatever account it's installed to directly. It was actually purchased on a different computer at my parents. t's possible the game is linked to the account you used when the purchase was made Though I'm not sure if that will confuse the app since it's likely looking in that specific location it was installed. When I get home maybe I'll try to move that folder and see if it helps. It's in the root applications folder but the "application support" folder for minecraft is in my admin user profile and not the root from what I can tell. Ok, first off I installed it in the admin account originally and on my latest try.
