Minecraft 1.18 crashes after clicking "PLAY" on launcher. I'm on Mac OS 10.11.6. "Error: Game crashed. An unexpected issue occurred and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Exit Code: 0" Very disappointing start for the exciting new update ...and after waiting 4 weeks prior for the Launcher bug to be fixed.

Please attach the crash report or log. The crash report is a text file located in the [.minecraft|https://minecrafthopper.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder/]/crash-reports folder named crash-date-client.txt. If not available attach the complete launcher_log.txt file.

Im having this same issue, I also play on a Max OS 10.11.6, and I also had the same the launcher bug problem as well.

The application did not create a crash report. I have uploaded the launcher log file instead. Good luck!

For once i actually am able to find a bug report for an issue i’m having without having to post my own first, i will add that this was also happening for me on mac for the 1.18 pre-releases alongside the full release

Same question as Scott Redinger a week ago; can we please get some info? This bug/issue is known for over a month now and there has yet to come an official reaction from Mojang. It does not have to be fixed soon, I can be patient, I just want to know if it is been worked on to get fixed or if not and Minecraft 1.18 is definitifely not playable on Mac OS 10.11.6.

I decided to try out what Darryl Lee wrote since I have the same computer (might be a 13-inch if that's important) ...and it worked!

I went from El Capitan 10.11 and upgraded to Sierra 10.12 and so far it's worth it since I can play on 1.18.1 now. I definitely recommend to try it if you're able to.

 

Edit: Thank you Darryl for the tip! I've had so many issues lately with the launcher and haven't been able to play for some months on and off now, so I'm genuinely thankful and relieved.

FYI, there is a separate bug report regarding Minecraft Java Edition and macOS 10.11: MC-242661.

I made a comment there recently that Java Edition 1.18+ games use Java 17, which is not compatible with macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) and below. It seems that those of us who are unable to upgrade to a newer operating system will not be able to play Caves & Cliffs: Part II, at least at the moment. I doubt that this bug will be fixed, but one can hope.

I suggest that those of you having this specific issue post your comments there.

In a duplicate report MC-242661, Mojang has confirmed the problem to be a compatibility issue with Java 17 and Mac OS 10.11 or older. The report was closed and marked as "resolved". They stated that we can still play older versions which is true however not on Realms. I would like to suggest that Mojang allow older versions on Realms.

This appeared in the launcher.

So i guess Mojang has given up on this one. I'm sorry for those of you who cannot update macos.
