Gratz on your new mac! Well, I have a 13" 2012-2013 macbook pro and it runs minecraft great! I always hear people saying "Macs aren't meant for gaming", but they actually handle hem pretty well! If you need any help, start a convo with me because although I say mine handles MC well, MC is one of 3 games I can have downloaded on it. I get 35-50 fps which is ok but occasionally (rarely) will get some lag. I am not an expert on macs, but I have some experience! Just pm me if you have a question and I might (don't count on it) be able to help:p I hope this helps! :)

Just saying, my $1000 laptop plays mc at 200 FPS, 35-50FPS is actually really bad for a laptop of that price, that's how much my previous $300 laptop had.

Anyway, Macs are really easy to use, just search around a little, I recommend learning some keystrokes/shortcut. A lot of them are listed here.
Aside from that, just navigate around your mac a little. Assuming you are already fairly tech savvy, this should be plenty, because macs are made to be easy to use.

 

Yeah 35-50 fps is pretty bad:p I didn't spend $1000 to play MC on a mac though, I just got it for school and that is where you get what you pay for;)

 

Im just gonna tell you but after four years with using a macbook pro, I wanted to break it lol

 

Do any of you experience the keyboard not working while playing MC on a Mac? If so what was your fix for it if any?

 

If you plan on non-java programming, you probably should've stuck with a windows machine, but if you specifically want to make things for MAC OS (heh, sounds kinda like tacos :3) that only work for MAC, you've made the right choice ;)

Also, I've heard MAC is known for its ease of use (and not as many viruses), but there should be nice support on their website/forums. I don't really like MAC cause I'm so used to windows, but I've heard it's really great from people who only use MAC.

@liamfrench,
I have a 21.5 inch iMac for coding, because that is a kinda-hobby of mine.
It's really easy to use, confusing in a few parts, but awesome. :)
PM me in-game or on the forums if you need any help/advice :b

 

I want to ask again since I didn't get any responses: Does anyone have a problem with the keyboard not working when playing MC on a MacBook Pro?

Sometimes. Rarely though. It's mostly lag that's causing that to happen.

 

No I'm talking about when the keyboard locks up completely where I can't use it at all. It's not lag.
