I recently downloaded Minecraft on a new computer (a Mac OSX) and it was working for a week until, all the sudden, Opening the game just immediately exits and a pop-up comes up and says
Minecraft Lancher quit unexpectedly
Clicking "Report to Apple" is just says this
Process: launcher [621] Path: /Applications/ Identifier: com.mojang.intdev.minecraftlauncher Version: 1235 (1) Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: launchd [148] User ID: 502 Date/Time: 2017-02-21 18:11:35.773 -0500 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F2560) Report Version: 10 Interval Since Last Report: 230750 sec Crashes Since Last Report: 120 Per-App Interval Since Last Report: 32 sec Per-App Crashes Since Last Report: 22 Anonymous UUID: 650BF36B-C0E6-3BE4-8640-EE89B352963B Crashed Thread: 0 CrBrowserMain Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000040 (I couldn't fit the rest)
I've tried everything,
- Installing java, (Its up to date)
- Installing OpenGL, (Which apparently, has no download for Macs)
- reinstalling the game.

Just download the old minecraft launcher at
At the title screen it should say that java is outdated and that you will need to install java 8 even though you have Java 8 installed. Do not listen to this for now. I am also running the exact same version of macOS 10.8.5
The same thing happened to me. I think it was my antivirus that screwed the new minecraft launcher.
