A Workaround for Enabling Microphone Permissions for Minecraft Proximity Chat Mod

June 10, 2023

The Minecraft app can't request permissions for the microphone unless you run it via a script from the terminal:

#!/bin/sh
/Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher

Save that snippet as Minecraft-Microphone-Workaround.command, double-click, et voilà!
