I have been looking at the system requirements of minecraft Java edition and I don’t fully understand them (I don’t understand them at all 😂) and I am not sure if my early 2015 MacBook Pro can run it. It’s the 2.9 GHz model. It’s the oldest MacBook Pro model that can currently run Monterey (it currently is on high sierra but I can update it).

Optifine is usually a good start for improving Minecraft performance, but my personal recommendation is the Fabulously Optimized modpack, which is a collection of mods that can significantly improve game performance and replicates much of Optifine's features. Your mileage may vary, however, and I encourage you to play around to find the configuration that works the best for your setup. Do keep in mind that none these modifications (including Optifine) are officially approved by Microsoft or Mojang, and that Minecraft is not an Apple product and there are more appropriate internet forums to be asking questions about Minecraft than Apple Support. I'm glad I could help!

Hi,
I think you can run Minecraft Java edition on your MacBook Pro, though you need to install Java JRE on your MacBook Pro before install Minecraft Java edition which is available at following site.
JRE = Java Runtime Environment. It’s the software that allows you run Java apps on your Mac. Java is not supported by default on macOS. You have to download and install it before you can run Java apps. Follow the link below.
How do I install Java for my Mac?
Java is owned and developed by Oracle. It is not an Apple product.
Minecraft will be able to run on your MacBook Pro no problem, though from my experience with the mid-2015 2.8GHz MacBook Pro you may need to do some tweaking to get optimal performance. Simply downloading the Minecraft launcher from the official site should allow you to install and play Minecraft without issue, High Sierra is to my knowledge still supported by the latest version. The launcher will automatically deal with Java installation for you, so everything should work as expected, but in the game you may have to turn down some of the video settings to get optimal performance on your machine.
FYI the official Minecraft launcher has a version of JRE bundled with it, so you don't need to install it separately. Java will usually be required to use unofficial game launchers such as MultiMC, however.
Thankyou but what is Java JRE?
Thankyou very much!!! I was wondering if installing optifine will help optimise the fps and gameplay?
