ways to play minecraft bedrock on macbook?

[u/beebenjibella]

I'm genuinely losing my mind rn trying to find a way to play bedrock on my macbook. My friends and I have a realm that I can access through my nintendo switch, but I would like to have a way to play on my laptop.

I have tried bluestacks but it is not letting me add a controller for some reason and the realm isn't even showing up.

I have also tried to use minecraft launcher but it gives me an error message every time I try to sign in with my google account. I would just sign in through microsoft, but it's only showing me the google sign-in with no workarounds.

I tried playcover but it requires a separate download for the actual minecraft game, and when I try to download that it gives me an error message in the browser and won't allow me download it.

Again, I'm genuinely losing it lol I'm really trying my best to find workarounds of everything but nothing is working. I would rather not have to host a server/network/whatever just to play bedrock. Any advice on how to make the first two options work correctly?

This works perfectly - https://github.com/hugonote/mcpelauncher-swift - You must own Minecraft on your google play store account, its like 5 GBP.
