Highball
Which renderer to use
Highball can run each game through three different Direct3D translation layers. This is what the database knows for this title — empty rows are open questions, not failures.
| Renderer | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| DXVKDirect3D 9-11 over Vulkan | Untested | no report yet — send one |
| DXMTDirect3D 11 over Metal | Reported | 1 report |
| D3DMetalApple's Game Porting Toolkit | Untested | no report yet — send one |
No dated Highball run yet. When one lands it records the renderer, the engine build and the macOS version it was seen on — which is what stops a verdict quietly rotting. Send one.
Notes
Reported playable on the Wine 11 engine with DXMT on an M1. Signing in with a Microsoft account does not work, so capes cannot be redeemed, and everything else is available. The reporter says the sign-in needs an implementation of xgameruntime.dll, Microsoft's Gaming Runtime, which Wine does not have. Nothing was measured here.
Known issues
Microsoft account sign-in does not work, so capes cannot be redeemed (reported on an M1, Wine 11 r27, DXMT)
What helps none yet. The rest of the game plays without signing in
Why the game wants Microsoft's Gaming Runtime (xgameruntime.dll), which Wine does not provide, by the reporter
Provenance
Reported by magnipaulus (highball-db#661, 2026-10-24), Apple M1, macOS 27.0, Highball 0.10.22, the Wine 11 engine x64-crossover26.3-r27, DXMT, Visual C++ runtimes installed, rated 4 of 5. Not verified by the maintainer.
Before installing anything, it is worth checking whether the game already ships a native Mac build.
Common questions
Does Minecraft Dungeons II work on Mac?
Minecraft Dungeons II has no native Mac build, but it is reported to run on Apple Silicon through Highball, a free open-source compatibility layer. This comes from community reports rather than a Highball test run, so treat it as a reasonable expectation rather than a guarantee.
