Hey i have a problem: i would really really love to play some modded Minecraft, especially the rlcraft modpack. Im on Mac (high sierra right now) and i downloaded the twitch desktop app, installed Minecraft on there and everything else, also java, but. As a professional computer guy I know alot about PC and mac. And I can tell you that playing on mac in general is very not recommended. Mac computers are not meant for gaming. That sort of computer is usually meant for office work and general work.

Can You Play Java Games On Mac

If the panel above is fully white or only gives a red cross, this means your browser cannot find any Java plugin on your pc. You can test your Java browser plugin on http://www.java.com.

Possible causes:

  • You do not have Java installed on your system
  • You have Java installed but no Java plugin for your specific browser was found

Sometimes the Java browser plugin is really not going to work in the Internet Explorer. In this case we can recommend an alternative browser (FireFox by Mozilla). After installing the alternative browser, reinstall Java and it might just work.
