Can I safely play Minecraft on my MacBook Air without damaging it?

Hello! I just recently purchased a MacBook Air. I really enjoy the MacBook for its use of creative features, slick design and lightweight capacity. As a student, this is really important to me!

But, I do play Minecraft on my computer. I don’t play any other games really, just Minecraft from time to time.

However, when I loaded the game I noticed that it immediately started running the Air’s fan extremely fast. I don’t want to overwork the fan. I don’t know if this is because of the game or an issue with the computer I purchased.

Is this normal? If it is, is it okay for me to play Minecraft on this computer? I don’t want to damage it or significantly ruin its longevity. This computer was an investment for me.

Should I consider upgrading to a pro while I still can return the computer? Would that be a better investment for me?
