Java Edition crashes immediately on launch with Exit Code 6 on an Apple Silicon Mac. The crash occurs in the Render thread, originating from jna.tmp via libobjc.A.dylib.
Note: This issue was previously reported in MC-308263. In that ticket, a moderator suggested upgrading macOS as a potential fix. I upgraded to the latest supported version of macOS, but the crash persists with the same Exit Code 6.
Environment
Device: MacBook Air, Apple M4 (Mac16,12) macOS: 15.6.1 (24G90) Java: 25.0.1 (bundled with Minecraft launcher) Architecture: ARM-64 (native, not translated)
