Having trouble updating to 1.8 version. I have "minecraft launcher 1.6.11". When I launch minecraft it opens that launcher and at the very bottom right hand corner, it says "Welcome, CreativeCrewmen" and directly under that it says "Ready to play Minecraft 1.7.2" then of course, it has the "Switch User" button.
I have yet to see anything asking me to download 1.8 when I launch my launcher, so I went to minecraft.net/download and downloaded the Minecraft.dmg and placed in my applications. When I opened it, I just got the same launcher wanting to launch the same game. How do I update?
No, they finally gave up a few years back and left it to oracle. Updating to new java versions took too long when it went through them and it was more of a risk cause of exposed security holes that couldn't be patched for months, than it helped by verifying everything by apple.
The new launcher will actually be really good for macs cause mojang hasn't caught up either and they're on the old system, linking MC to last apple supported java which was java 6. So you gotta link manually to other java versions when you're using mc launcher if you want anything newer on a mac. At least regular mc launcher.
I heard the new mac launcher will be delayed until bugs with this new one on windows were ironed out but was hoping it finally came out and I just missed it.
gerbil, I only have one profile and the fact that it isn't configured to 1.8 is the problem. I want to update the 1.7.2 version to 1.8 and am trying to figure out how to do that. Can you help?
Also...has mac version of the new launcher come out and I've somehow missed it? Last I saw the news only windows version was out.
I'm not sure which version you mean by "new launcher". I just want to update minecraft from 1.7.2 to 1.8. I found youtube videos that show how to do this on a mac (from Sept 2014) and they seem simple. The first way was that it would give you the option down in the bottom right hand corner to upgrade but I have never seen that option. The second was to download the .dmg file from minecraft.net which I did but still just running 1.7.2.
Can anyone give me any hints as to how I can update my version to the 1.8?
As for launcher, you mentioned 1.6.11 which is the new launcher that came out for windows only currently or so I thought. If it looks different from the default launcher, then I can't really give you instructions. I haven't seen the new launcher.
