Hello Cellou,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, here are some steps you can take to try to fix this issue:

Check your Internet connection. Make sure your MacBook Air is connected to the Internet and has a stable connection.

Try downloading the Minecraft launcher again. You can download the launcher from the Minecraft website.

Try launching the launcher from the downloads folder. Once you have downloaded the launcher, locate the Downloads folder on your MacBook Air.

Open the folder and double-click the "Minecraft Launcher" file.

Try launching the launcher from the Finder app. Open the Finder app and locate the "Minecraft Launcher" file. Double click the file to start it.

Sign in to your Minecraft account. If you are not already signed in to your Minecraft account, click the "Sign In" button in the launcher.

Check your version of Minecraft. Make sure your MacBook Air has the latest version of Minecraft. You can check your version of Minecraft by clicking the "Help" button in the launcher and selecting "About Minecraft."

I hope I have answered your question correctly, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

What type of gpu do you have

AMD Radeon Pro 5500M on my MacBook Pro 2019 encountering the same problem. All works well until it crashes some minutes in.

I think i actually found out what the problem is lol. went on my bros windows 8.1 laptop.. and it works flawlessly. but on my macbook pro it doesn't work at all.

I don't know how to address my problem? I just bought Minecraft for my son, but I actually need it for MACBook pro and I don't know how to activate it there?
