Minecraft
$29.99 one-time (Standard Edition, includes Java + Bedrock Edition access)
Price checked at source August 20, 2026.
The sandbox building-and-survival game, available on Mac as Java Edition — one-time purchase, no subscription required to play.
Our take
The one unambiguous, mass-market Mac game in the approved catalog at verification time — genuinely native (Java Edition runs on macOS, Apple silicon included) rather than a Windows port requiring emulation. Bedrock-only features like Marketplace add-ons and console cross-play aren’t available on the Mac version.
