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.
