CrossOver Support - Community Forums

So I'm having a hard time making a particular mod work for running Minecraft a lot faster on a Mac. I decided to try installing it through COG for kicks, to see if that helped anything, but in the install process, it pops up a message about how it needs Java Runtime Environment 1.5.1 to work, and then never finishes installing. My computer has 1.6.1, so do I need to find a download of 1.5.1 and install it directly into the Minecraft bottle?

Hi....

...I take it you've been running the native Mac port
of Minecraft, which would draw upon your system wide
native installation of JRE...

...a crossover bottle, is akin to a self-contained Windows
installation, and so yes -- the required Windows JRE must
be installed into the same bottle... see;

..you can install it via the crosstie provided...

Cheers!

in this case since there exists a mine craft application for mac you don't need crossover. however with some mods apparently working better with windows i suggest that if you want to mod you should do it via crossover ;)
