Describe the bug
Minecraft (original license) refuses to launch on macOS Sonoma 15.3 (MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 16GB RAM). The issue persists across all modpacks (e.g., FTB Evolution, ATM9)
What I’ve Tried:
Tested Temurin JDK 17, 21, Oracle JDK 20, system-default Java and java 15, 16, 17 ,18,19, 20 and 24.
Configured launchers (FTB App, Prism, MultiMC) to use specific Java paths.
Fresh Installs:
Deleted .minecraft, libraries, and modpack folders. Reinstalled Minecraft/modpacks 5+ times.
Modpacks:
Tried FTB Evolution 1.21.1, ATM9, and like 4 more modpacks – all fail with the same error.
Primary error:
java.util.zip.ZipException: zip END header not found
at net.creeperhost.CFMalwareScanner.scanFile
Additional warnings:
Could the zip END header error indicate a deeper filesystem/permission problem?
Any overlooked steps to resolve this?
Reproducibility:
100% consistent across all installations.
