Minecraft on MacBook Air

[Charitylynn55]

I have a 2011 MacBook Air - model A1369. I want to gift it to my daughter for Christmas and one of the main games she wants a laptop for is to play Minecraft. I found the Minecraft Java version that I can purchase but before I do, I wanted to ensure that it will work on this laptop. Thank you!

Hello! Unfortunately the Minecraft site doesn't show the requirements for Mac machines specifically, but based from the Intel CPU as the minimum, it looks like it is underpowered. On their site they do suggest to try the demo to see if it will work. You need to be on 10.9 (Maverick) or newer macOS too.

You can try it for free to see by going to the Free Trial link from Minecraft and see how well it will run.
