[MCL-23525] In some places, the Minecraft Launcher is simply called Minecraft on Mac.

In some places, the Minecraft Launcher is simply called Minecraft on Mac when it should be called the Minecraft Launcher in all places. It is also indeed correctly called Minecraft Launcher everywhere visible to the average user on Windows.

Here is an example of this issue in the Finder (as of latest macOS):

Here's also a list of some if not all common places that you will see this issue:

• Finder

• Launchpad

• Dock

Hi, can you provide repro steps, examples and screenshots for these instances?

This wouldn't really need repro steps, as only examples are actually needed for this one. And if there are any macOS application developers that actually know how to fix this, please add a comment with some documentation for Mojang if possible. One of the examples is in Finder you will see that it only says Minecraft instead of Minecraft Launcher.

Also on macOS 13.5.2 and launcher version 2.10.22

Is it called Minecraft Launcher on Windows?

@[Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) yes, it is called Minecraft Launcher on Windows last time I checked (quite recently) and still should be that way.

Just rename the app and you’re done.

Also affects 3.12.35 (Mac), apparently I really can’t edit or request to edit this.

This also affects me, but I don’t see it as a problem.
