I'm not a mac newbie at all so I'm pretty confident I'm doing everything right. I'm leaning towards this being a bug. It's the only program having issues but hoping maybe there is a workaround. It's so frustrating and I have no idea of an official Minecraft support channel to submit the issue to receive any kind of response aside from this user forum
I'm trying to setup Minecraft for my daughters on their own OS X accounts of our new computer. At this point I'm using normal un-restricted accounts while I troubleshoot. Whatever account I "install" minecraft on it will work. But if I switch users and launch it then I get the error "Minecraft updater - Unable to start Minecraft, if you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again."
I am not running the DMG. I've installed it via drag and drop to the apps folder and then deleted the dmg etc. So it works on the users account that I install it but that error pops up on any other accounts that I try to open minecraft with later.
If I re-install on a different account by overwriting the files etc then it does the same thing but for that account.
On the original first account I installed some form of java developer app that was required to open forge installer. The last two versions of forge. The furniture mod. And Decco craft 2. Otherwise it's a brand new system.
Thanks for any help or ideas. I can confirm that I've tried logging out of the minecraft account before opening under a different profile but that doesn't help.
I got a pocket edition server on EnviousHost for my family to play Minecraft on together. They say it's possible to add texture packs but don't provide instructions for it. Could I get some instructions on how to do this and maybe a link to a reputable known working texture pack to try the instructions out with?
Yeah, we do use the different texture packs sometimes and that helps. But we would rather have this option. Thank you for the suggestion though, appreciate it
I didn't say everything that is ok or not. i didn't say the reasons why. I didn't say they should change the game in any way that could effect your enjoyment. I said they should add a simple option as to which bad guys generate to make the game more enjoyable for a broader audience. Ive found plenty of other parents posts who would be happy to have such an option.
peaceful mode is nice but im fine with battling the bad guys and eating. Just wanna pick the ones I prefer in a game that lets you pick just about any way you wanna play it anyhow. If I can pick a flat earth or not. Fire spreads or not. Etc. Then my suggestion doesn't seem too far off the wall.
I don't mean it's customizable in the mod sense. But that we have lots of generation options on the initial world creation. Skins. We have the option of creating potions etc but it's not required to enjoy the game. We don't "have" to go into the nether. We don't have to play where bad guys hurt us. Its not playing in a story mode that requires you to do all these things to win the game. Instead, you can play it in they way you enjoy it.
i expect none of the suggestions I post will actually happen. But they provided a suggestion area for these things to be considered and I'm taking advantage of that forum feature. If you don't voice your opinion then nobody would ever hear it so it's worth a shot. Especially when my suggestion is a mere option that users would have a choice on so it won't ruin the current gameplay for anyone else
We don't do the potions and some of the other things. Potions for instance are an optional part of the game (minus getting hit by them). We choose whether or not we want to use that feature. The game is plenty enjoyable without mixing any or some of the results of things like that can be found in other ways.
I'm not going to go through this with you to justify or explain my logic or parenting with you. But whether a person is ok with the backstory of zombies or witches doesn't fully matter in my request. There is plenty of posts ive come across with kids scared of some of the different bad guys for different reasons and/or parents wishing they could turn off some but not others. The game is HIGHLY customizable already which is why I feel my request isn't offensive or out of boundries for the creators but a valid consideration.
My whole point is that I like the challenge aspect but don't see why they have to be "witches" or "zombies". Doesn't seem required for a game about mining ingrediants etc. More generic monsters seem just fine. Or the ability to customize what they are just as we are able to customize what they look like via different skins. Or just giving the ability to generate or exclude the ones we want or don't in the settings just like all the other options. They seem pretty determined to keep a real "story" out of the game so why force charactors we don't want when they can be optional just like everything else in the game.
Don't get me wrong. I love the battles, making armor, etc. so I wouldnt want that removed and I'm not trying to interfere with parts that other people love. Just want better options that suit more families
It doesn't defeat it if the purpose at all. I spend time building a town with the kids currently but it feels like there is not much to actually achieve or strive for. It would be nice to build things more functional with a purpose. Build a town, make it difficult to achieve but possible and then start working on your next town. Then connect them. Starting with workers seemed like a decent entry point for the developers.
I mean, they didn't have to make trees "grow" for us. We could have had to build each one. They didn't have to have functional moving minecarts. Pickaxes that dig faster, etc. So this is just another step to broaden the endless possibilities of the game.
Minecraft to me is not about the story, characters, or villains. It's about being handed endless possibilities of materials, animals, etc to build any world or story you have stored in your imagination starting from scrap (mining it etc). Adding additional functionality to that world as you work your way up certainly shouldn't defeat the purpose but just make it more fun
Prices etc as you stated would be fine. However they choose to get from point a to point b is fine with me... I would just like the ability. Nice suggestions...
it would be great to be able to assign game automated workers to mine for ore etc in your mine and other tasks. Even things as the most basic level would be neat. Just to have some form of useful workers....
If you play Disney Infinity you'll know what I'm referencing. Our kids REALLY want to play other people's worlds and creations but we don't allow them to play online with other people. So this would be a great addition so kids can do that...
it would be GREAT if we can select which types of bad guys are allowed in the generated world. We want to ditch the witch and zombies. We don't lIke our kids playing with them and they are terrified of them anyways.
We wish the game was built with more generic type monsters rather then witchcraft types but understand that's not likely to change. But since part of the fun is how customizable minecraft is that would really be great and I'm sure welcomed by many.
friendly mode is ok but it is fun to have bad guys and the need to eat.
I think so. They watch a guy on youtube named Stampy Cat or something a lot and on one of his videos he was flying around in one but didn't show how to build it. He uses XBOX I believe. I don't think you can download or use mods or whatever on PS4 can you? We don't need all the shooting stuff just trying to get the blade to spin and helicopter to fly. Is that a no-go on the PS4 then?

Same problem. Kid purchase. I approve. Charges me. Confirms purchase of coins in-app. Then coins disappear.
Apple refunds and says talk to developer.
I can't even find where to talk to the right developer department. Very frustrated.
