I dont have the launcher_log right now because it didnt die
After restarting it works perfectly fine
I have Macos Sonoma 14.4 but it goes all the way back to Macos 10.5 catalina
i had a bug like this too with custom versions of minecraft like sigma here (yes ik its cheats) just try to close and open the launcher and launch it without internet it wont try to download and also remove -noverify if u have it in the launch commands
it has been solved i needed to reopen minecraft launcher
I cannot download and use W10/11 or legacy launcher because of macos
the game starts normally and it goes back to normal after a few seconds of it completing the download
i dont need to reinstall the launcher
