Active Oldest Votes. It looks like the problem is that Java is somehow still running in the background. Try opening Task Manager and ending all instances of Java (TM) Platform SE Binary. That should stop Minecraft, and you should be able to open it again. I use a Mac Mini running MacOS Version 11.2.3 and just downloaded Minecraft Java Edition on it.

You need to download the Minecraft.dmg disk image, double-click it to mount it, then drag the Minecraft.app contained therein into your Finder -> Applications folder or use the shortcut window that pops up:


You cannot run the Minecraft.app while it is simply showing in the disk image, it must be dragged to the Applications folder so it can download/write the extra files it needs from the Internet. That is why you are getting this error:


Note: by and large, the only thing you'd ever need to be doing in the ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft folder is to delete that folder of your Minecraft ever gets corrupted. If you're having any problems, deleting that folder and run the Minecraft.app which you should have moved into your Finder / Applications folder. The support directory will be re-created from scratch automatically.
