How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens! 😕


It goes from this:

To this:

And on the development console it says this:

Hello EpicEmma,


I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION 🙂,

  1. right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
  2. type : "~Library/ Application Support
  3. Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
  4. delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
  5. Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
  6. Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
  7. The blue bar will take a minute or two...
  8. And then... it should start normally


U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!
