Launch Minecraft From Terminal

So, Minecraft has been crashing on my Mac for a while, and I read somewhere that I have to put a certain command in Terminal and then run Minecraft from Terminal to get it to start. I have the command which I have to put in, but I don't have the second command, the one to get it to launch from Terminal. Does anyone have this command? Thanks!

These three commands should work for you:

cd /
cd Applications
open Minecraft.app

This assumes that you have Minecraft in your Applications folder. Also, make sure to run the commands separately, in the order listed above.

On Mac

Open Spotlight (search in top right of desktop), Search for "Terminal".

Paste this into the Terminal:

/Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher

You will receive console logs that contain details about software activity.

When Minecraft crashes, it may provide a backtrace directly in the console or it may provide a crash log if the entire application crashes. If the console doesn't show what you are looking for look for a recent hs_err_pid* file instead. For more information:
