In theory, you can, but I will take some work. You would need to switch it to running Linux, then recompile the Minecraft stuff to work on ARM instead of x86. That requires the source code, which I'm unsure is available.

Yes but it's not the best with minecraft it's more important to get a strong Cpu. 3.5 ghz and 4 cores c:

Minecraft will run on any new PC/Laptop. You don't need a separate GPU. It's a web-based application.

Yes. I did play Minecraft with this mac. not lagged at all. You can check out the graphic card information to see if the graphic card is good enough for all your other games. I only played Minecraft on it.

Yes! You just have to download the .jar version. Remember this is an old computer. It is from January 2005. Even though it work great for graphics because it has a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 128mb of VRAM. That is better then a new PC with an Intel Graphics Card. Furthermore it does have trouble with HD Video. If you want to watch YouTube videos I recommend putting Leopard on it and watching the videos in 480p. There is a great app called YouView. To find it just type in to google "YouView PPC". Any app you want to run on this Mac just type in to google "the app name" and "ppc". PPC is the kind of processor that this computer has. Most people do not make software for ppc anymore. But, many still do. Have fun with it. This computer is great for minecraft.

Probably not. I am not a gamer but I did a little research. It appears that Minecraft is not compatable with the google chrome format.

We were able to get Sims 2 to play, as well as Minecraft and Spore. With Minecraft, you can play with the settings so it will be able to work on most computers.

Honestly, don't buy it if you want to play minecraft on it cause minecraft doesn't work on this computer at all you can't even. Download it or even download anything from online sites. Best choice is to just keep looking.

I am not familiar with minecraft, but my husband plays diablo II on it and is happy with it.

Yes. You can play minecraft on almost ANY Windows computer XP and beyond. I'd stick to Vista and above though, because there will be no more patches/upgrades to XP, Microsoft support ended April of this year. I recommend the free upgrade to Windows 8.1 to avoid many annoyances of Windows 8 for this computer.

The recommended system requirements for Minecraft are: OS: Windows XP/Vista/7, OpenGL: 2.0, Processor: 2.5 MHz (Single Core), RAM: 2 GB(XP), 3 GB(Vista/7), Hard Drive: 256 MB Free, Video: 128MB RAM. This laptop fits all of the requirements.

I have not played minecraft, however, all games I have played have run very smoothly. The system is definitely set up for games. Other games that were laggy on my previous system run great now.

This is amazing for minecraft. I tested it out at the Apple Store and there was no lag at all. That's one of reason I'm getting one.

Ignore the previous two comments. Minecraft is not a high requirement game. It runs fine on a 2007 imac, this will handle it just fine. Recommended Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHz RAM: 4GB GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3 HDD: 1GB Latest release of Java 7 from java.com

Yes. But from what I understand, it is a 32-bit (not a 64-bit) OS, so it'll run a bit clunkier in Far Mode on Minecraft. But yes, Minecraft runs just fine in the lower settings. I've been able to play quite a few games on this system, all of them incredibly more graphic than Minecraft. Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Trek: Online both play fine in the lower settings on this laptop.
