Minecrafting for MacIroning out the bugs, fixing the glitches and building in Minecraft with style.
Anonymous asked: When using certain Texture packs things like Water and lava dont appear at all, everything else works fine what is wrong?
The texture pack is either out of date or just badly designed. The answer is in your question… “certain” packs are not working. And “certain” designers are not doing a good job.
Whenever Minecraft is updated you need to get a texture that matches your Minecraft version. For example, if they add Monkeys into the next version of the game, when you update you won’t see the monkeys. Not until your texture pack designer releases an update with the Monkey graphics added.
Lava and Water are also animated features of the game, so the texture designer has to make sure they’ve added all the animation frames.
A good texture pack designer will let you know which version of Minecraft it’s designed for 1.1, 1.2 etc.
Anonymous asked: I did as the video said and got around the bug but still the texture packs I put in there are greyed out. Why?
It’s greyed out because it’s not a valid texture.zip.
Make sure you zip the files and folders and not the folder.
You can also find the original zip file in the Trash.
Anonymous asked: how do you eat on minecraft with a mac
You need the food in your hand, and then click and hold the right-mouse button (or ctrl-click) to eat. See the last post for more on advice for people with one-button Macs and trackpads.
Anonymous asked: We're running Minecraft on a MacBook Air and we can't break any blocks with the pick axe. We're using a 2-button mouse (Magic Mouse) but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!
This all depends on how your MacBook Air is set up.
It is hard with a trackpad, so using a mouse is a good idea, but the Magic Mouse operates in a similar way to a trackpad (it’s not a physical button).
A lot of players, including @MinecraftTeachr change their key-bindings
If you’re using a Mac with a one-button mouse, a Magic Mouse or Magic trackpad, you may find it useful to change the ‘Use Item’ control to ‘cmd’ the command key. You can then use left-click for attack and ‘cmd’ when you want to build.
To change your keys, just press ‘Esc’ to get to ‘Options..’, then click ‘Controls…’ and set the ‘Use Item’ key to ‘cmd’ (Minecraft will call this ‘LWIN’ (the left Windows key) but ignore that horrible name :))
Most new trackpads (MacBook/Pro/Air, etc.) don’t even have a button, the trackpad is the button. This makes even left clicking difficult. It’s easy to click once, to attack, but a sustained click-and-hold is a little trickier (especially if you want to move the cursor around at the same time).
Have a look at your Magic Mouse/Trackpad settings and check the settings so that double-tap is set to click and hold.
You will, however, find it much easier to buy a cheap two-button mouse for your Minecraft sessions.

Anonymous asked: where can i get texture packs for macs?
All texture packs work on all machines.
Minecraft is coded in Java so it all works with Linux, Mac and Windoze.
Just Google for texture packs until you find one you like.
