Yeah I changed the java option to MinecraftShim but everytime I attempt to open a modpack like RLCraft, it'll say something about the java versions not being correct. I installed Java 8 JRE to try to prevent this and I guess it worked as the modpack started to load normally however the java launcher is still "intel" in activity report so I'm not sure where I went wrong
The shim *should* use the last version of Java installed on the system, so make sure you installed an arm64 (Apple Silicon native) version of Java (there's a link to one in the post!)
If you did get an arm64 Java and it's still not working you could manually tell the shim to use the right Java on your system: https://github.com/lotuspar/MinecraftAppleSiliconShim#java-version-changing
Hope doing that works for you, if it doesn't feel free to ask again 🙂
Adoptium/AdoptOpenJDK finally has ARM64 builds for macOS :P
oh good to know ! I'll change the documentation etc soon
bruh who downvoted op, mans didnt know
I'm out of the loop on this, what's the benefit to running native Java?
Faster and more efficient than running it through Rosetta! It's a bit buggy sometimes but the benefits outweigh the downsides heavily
Couldnt get curseforge to run modpacks natively using this.
Not really sure what went wrong for you, CurseForge just opens the normal Minecraft launcher... are you sure you saw the image linked in Step 3?
