It's Here! My M4 MacBook Pro running Minecraft Java with real shaders at 150 FPS (1440p) – native Metal
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello, shader packs on Mac use OpenGL, which isn't supported by Macs chips, so on my MacBook Pro (M4, 10-core GPU, 16 GB) Iris + Complementary runs at about 22 FPS at the native 3024×1964. I made a free mod with shaders written in Metal instead.
- Balanced, 1440p: 137–156 FPS
- Balanced, native: 108-124 FPS
- Ultra, native: 64–80 FPS
The newest version (1.2.2) adds Distant Horizons presets and reflective far water, on top of an in-game settings menu with about 120 options. No Sodium needed. Apple Silicon only (M1 or newer, macOS 15 or later), Minecraft 26.3 with Fabric.
Free and open source: https://github.com/GaelQuinta/minecraft-metal-shaders/releases/latest
It's also in review on Modrinth, so if you'd rather install it from there, it should be up soon.
If you have an M1/M2/M3 or a Pro/Max chip, I'd love to know your numbers.

It's Here! Got a good price for M5 Max (16-inch) from Micro Center
Just grabbed this one from Micro Center, price is about $700 cheaper than education price and $1,100 cheaper than the full price from Apple Store.
It was at $4,199 but by the time I pulled the plug it already went up by $100 - but still a pretty good price IMO. After I picked mine up, price went up by another $200.
Specs:
- 16-inch Model
- M5 Max (40-Core GPU)
- 64 GB of RAM
- 2 TB SSD
Edit: Just set it up and looks like I lost 4 months of limited warranty for the save - but I'll take it!

After years of relying on the familiar Windows ecosystem, I finally made the leap and switched to the Mac. Leaving behind the muscle memory of Windows laptops was a massive shift, but upgrading to the sheer power of Macbook completely redefines my daily workflow.

Discussion M5 > M6?
M6 is already here and we are heading a lot of rumours lately about touch screen and redesign but what all is true no-one clearly knows.
Since the Mac mini had price hikes, what price can we expect for a MacBook Pro M6 base variant?
Any config guesses?
Will the base variant now get 24GB RAM?

Help 14” MacBook Pro M5 vs. M5 Pro — Is it worth the extra $450?
I’m looking to purchase my first MacBook and plan to keep it for approximately 6–8 years at least. I’m deciding between the base M5 with 24GB RAM/1TB SSD ($2199 MSRP) and the M5 Pro with 24GB RAM/2TB SSD (currently $2,399, down from $2,999 MSRP).
My primary use will be professional productivity, including real estate work, spreadsheets, CRM software, website management, research, multitasking, and general everyday computing.
However, I also have some interests I’d like to explore in the future. These include occasional video editing snowboarding and travel footage, potentially longer 4K/360° video projects, learning CAD and 3D printing.
Realistically, 90% of my usage will probably be everyday productivity, but I want a machine that can comfortably handle more demanding projects as my interests develop as I’ll have it a long time.
I’m leaning toward the M5 Pro because of the current $600 discount, additional performance, and doubled storage. However, I’m questioning whether I’d actually benefit from that extra power enough to justify spending another $400–$450. Another point is the planned announcement of the M6 line on the 27th of this month
For those with real-world experience using base and Pro chips, would you spend the extra money for longevity and flexibility, or is the base M5 more than enough for my needs? Also, would you wait for the M5 to go on sale or buy the M5 Pro now?

Joined the Club! Do you think this was worth the price?
My current MacBook is a basic, standard no features added MacBook Pro 2015. It’s fine, it gets the job done, but it’s slow, things take time to load, I bought it when I was in high school
I just purchased the following specs in a MacBook Pro. I’ll be honest, I’m an Attorney, I just needed something fast that could keep up with all my excel sheets, emails, Webex / Zoom court hearings. It’s probably overkill for what I’m using it for, but I’m always on the go and want something reliable
$5,528.81 All In
Apple MacBook Pro 16 Inch M5 Max
64 GB Ram 4TB Storage 18CPU 40 GPU
Nano Texture Display
It’s getting shipped to me, Seller said it maybe has 10-12 charging cycles, barely used, too big for his liking. I also wanted to stick to a 14 inch but thought this may be a good deal

Help Mot de passe oublié
Bonjour à tous, j’ai un soucis avec mon Mac book pro sous l’OS 26.7
J’ai dû changer mon mot de passe lors de la dernière mise à jour mais je ne m’en souviens pas. La seule option de récupération que j’ai apparement c’est la clé de secours mais elle n’apparaît pas dans le trousseau sur mon iPhone. Je suis complètement bloqué et j’ai 17 ans de photos dessus. Je suis au fond du trou.
Si jamais quelqu’un a une solution au moins pour récupérer mes photos.
Le Mac est bien dans mes appareils sur mon iPhone pourtant.
Merci d’avance.

My first ever laptop died its final death last year and I tried to revive it with a new battery and charge port unfortunately with no victory. A board is pretty expensive as it’s a 2.9ghz i7 one. If I buy another Mac like a 2.5ghz i5 one the same year, will I be able to just slot my ssd in and boot it up as my old computer?

Help Space bar problems
Hey everyone,
My space bar is not working properly on the left side. I bought a self repair kit and I hope replacing the connectors and the key cap will solve this. I just wanted to know if anyone had problems with the keyboard as well. I own this machine for 2 years or maybe a little bit longer, and I believe I take good care of it.
Thanks! Have a great week to y’all!
