Hey there! We're a Mac & Linux household, and we love the Java edition, and run our own server. But we'd also really like to enjoy the cross-platform play of the Bedrock engine. I'm sure it would also be really nice for you all not to have to maintain the Java codebase as well.
Or -- at least add cross-platform play to the Java Edition.

I have desperately been wanting bedrock on Mac. I host a realm on xbox and I love it, but i’m always wanting to have the option to play on mac. Building is easier on mac, and I always loved the feeling of playing java. I just love having the cross comparability of Bedrock, despite it not being supported by MacOS
Please add bedrock edition to mac I will rebuy it just come on and I am sure more people want it on mac please I want to play normal bedrock edition on mac I trust in you mojang make the right choice
please add bedrock on mac and Linux my friends dont have java soooo
Based on current info, this could change after Apple launches Apple Silicon Macs tomorrow and after Microsoft has time to develop for them but, it looks like Minecraft for iOS will not be on the Mac App Store on Apple Silicon (looks like Microsoft unticked that box). Hopefully they come to their senses though!
The fact that the game written in the language native to linux (this being C or a C variant) is not ported to linux, as well as the fact that it is not on MacOS X given that it is now SO simple to run an iOS game on Mac. PLEASE, mojang and microsoft, give us support! I would much rather not lose java edition, but if that's what it takes, so be it. Also, given that new macs may not support java edition because of ARM based chips, it feels like a good idea.
Yeah this would be good as long as it doesn't replace java
at the moment it seems like newer Macs with Apple's new chip will support iOS apps (like Minecraft on iPhone) and then download it on Mac and use your keyboard and mouse.
We need a bedrock on mac!!! i even pay again.
And steamOS
I think that bedrock should be on all platform. It would be better if we were all together
With MacOS Big Sur / Apple Silicon being able to support iOS apps natively there is literally no reason for Minecraft Bedrock not to be on Mac now. Unless of course Microsoft is holding it hostage on desktop to get more people to use Win10.
I would love to play with my friends on the ps4 from my Mac
One of the main issues with cross play is that the games functions differently. Mobs have different health, and a lot of other features are only Java/bedrock. But porting Java to Mac OSX should not be too hard, since it has been done already to IOS and IPadOS. And Linux is so flexible so that the only issue is many time/developers, and the lack of stores on Linux.
i need minecraft bedrock on mac
The latest M1 chips of apple silicon would make this even easier, cause you already have the iOS app available, all that would be needed is keyboard control support, full screen optimization, and maybe even Ray tracing support.
The new M1 macs already can run the ipa file for Minecraft and it works with only two flaws: no keyboard/mouse support and no fullscreen. This is TRIVIALLY easy to fix and implement. Yet Mojang has opted out of making their Minecraft app cross-platform. They actively went against it. Mojang, I don’t know what sneaky business practices are going on, but this is not great for PR. And if you want people to spend minecoins, you’re going to want bedrock to be as available as possible.
i think we should have both cross platform from java to bedrock and vice-versa, but i play on a mac and want to play bedrock on my pc without having to buy a windows and have two computers or have to lose my hard work i put into my java server by pemanently moving to a windows. you should also be able to play java on windows.
I do hope this happens soon considering this post has existed for almost 3 years now, and Microsoft is constantly pushing people to use Bedrock. A Mac & Linux version would be killer, and it seems more feasible now that the Minecraft Launcher supports Microsoft accounts.
Please add bedrock support for linux and mac we also want to enjoy crossplay
When I vibing with my friends i was like hey i got a mac and they have minecraft on there but then realized i cant get bedrock on my mac :C.
I do not think they will replace Java, nor do I think they should. However, I think it would be an amazing decision to bring Minecraft bedrock to Macintosh / Linux.
MINECRAFT!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!!
We the Linux and mac player can't enjoy Minecraft with our friends because the bedrock is not allowed.
This is not fair, I really hope and wish if you can add it to mac and linux.
thanks,
PLEASE MOJANG I BEG MAKE IT AVAILIBLE FOR MAC PLZZZZZZ
Bruh, this is the second-most voted ticket in the Franchise section, yet the first and the third most are under review...
Destroy java and give us Bedrock and Minecraft will be fully unified. For Mac just allow iOS Minecraft to run on Mac and for Linux just code it in. This is not for more Windows sales or you wouldn't allow PS4/5 and Switch for more Xbox sales. This isn't a coding issue as Mac and Linux are more than capable, so destroy Java and unify all platforms plz Mojang just do it for us.
This would be quite useful, mostly for cross-play. I am ok with dropping either version at the condition, that you could run your own server, like you currently can with java.
P.S. Currently you can cross-play from bedrock client on java server, if server has plugins like geyser+floodgate, so I'm ok with just adding cross-play ability, but I think maintaining two codebases is quite inconvenient for development and resources used for that can be utilized better.
WE NEED BEDROCK ON MAC!
