This is not the same issue as one from ubuntu. I am sure it is unique to the retina macbook pro. This is not a technical support issue exactly, as those can be fixed and are usually an individual problem. This happens to my retina MBP as well.
Every time I maximize it, it locks up the graphics card hard, requiring a shut down by holding the power button.
You can "fix" it by turning off automatic graphics switching in the system preferences. Turning off automatic graphics switching then makes sure that your system doesn't freeze, and you can just exit minecraft (because at this point it is just a black screen) and start it again, unlike before when it would crash your computer almost.
