Add Apple Silicon Native (arm) support #5075

Open IntMarco opened 1 year ago

IntMarco commented 1 year ago

Role

Play modpacks

Suggestion

Natively support the new Apple Silicon processors.

Benefit

By now, all Mac users are switching to the new processors, so not allowing them to use Multi MC is a major limitation.

This suggestion is unique

[X] I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

I'll leave this open to hopefully stop the creation of a new issue for this every week. As of right now MultiMC works fine with Rosetta, you just need to install x64 Java as mentioned in the wiki.

There's a bunch of stuff that needs to happen in MultiMC for proper ARM support to be added, and on that front really nothing has changed since 2020.

I don't think keeping this page open will cause other pages to stop being created. Personally, I think it's best to leave a notice on the download page. Attached image.

That will just cause more confusion, Rosetta "just works" and the average user doesn't know what that is.

Users at least need to know that they need to use x64 Java and not arm64. I just ran into this issue trying to help a friend, the relevant wiki page doesn't show up when googling the error, and "common sense" would normally tell people they need the appropriate Java version for their system (which, in this case, would lead them to install the wrong one).

I think it is best to natively support multiMC under the arm architecture, because many users do not want to install Rosetta.

Install another launcher that is available for Apple Silicon

This will not be done for MultiMC 5.

MultiMC 6 will have full support and might drop amd64 on Mac altogether. We'll see 😉
