I’m going to assume you’re only playing and not recording or streaming for the time being. I performed these tests with only Minecraft running and Activity Monitor so I can see the CPU and GPU usage. It’s connected to an LG Ultrafine 5k display that the Mac is obviously driving continuously, regardless of the size of the window I run Minecraft in. The simple answer is: it plenty good enough to play vanilla Minecraft at high enough FPS, and for the most part, you shouldn’t notice any lack of smoothness in your gameplay.įirst, a little about my setup that I used to perform these tests. So I’ll do my best to test the most common scenarios people will have and give you an idea of the kind of numbers you should expect to see.
That’s not a simple question to answer as it depends on your setup. Many people have been asking me in the comments on my Let’s Play YouTube series - how does Minecraft perform on M1 Macs? Specifically, people are interested in the FPS I’m able to get.
I’ve been playing Minecraft on my M1 Mac mini now for a few months, and the good news is it works great. FebruHow well does Minecraft run on an M1 Mac?
