Java for ARM/Bedrock for MacOS and linux

As I would imagine most of you know, Macs will begin to be sold with ARM-based processors in 2021.  This has a decent chance of breaking minecraft Java for most Mac users, and as of yet Bedrock will not be ported to Mac.  It would be important to have official ARM support, or Bedrock on Mac/Linux.

    These new M1 chips are crazy powerful. And now that they share the same language as iOS apps (they can be run natively), you could theoretically run Minecraft bedrock OR Minecraft java on macOS (currently possible through translation using Rosetta 2). I would love to see a dedicated bedrock server come to macOS. Please make this happen!

    Yes! the M1 is insanely powerful! and M1X right around the corner! its only a matter of time before other companies like, Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia and AMD will switch to ARM! Please Mojang release Minecraft Java that is optimised for ARM (m1) and maybe consider bringing over Minecraft Bedrock to Mac as it shares the same chip architecture and code now. It would be better to have it come later than never! Go Mojang!
