----- To all readers! This issue is mac specific only-------

Is this mac problem for Slice week? Sheesh..... 1 problem after another.

So I was just playing a game of MCSG, and I realized conveniently as I was about to attack someone that the left mouse button was not functioning. Pretty much, I'm using an Apple Magic Mouse, which has 1 button (Not 2, like a PC mouse), but you can change system preferences for the mouse so that by clicking the right side of the mouse, it acts as right click, thus enabling me to use bows, flint and steels, etc. in Minecraft.

When I went into combat, I could only block when I left-clicked with my sword. After, I changed my mouse batteries, no difference. Went into system preferences and looked around a bit, didn't find anything.

This issue occurred during a game of MCSG - prior to the game, everything was fine. This "only right click" issue only happens within Minecraft, not on any other program.

If you are experiencing the same issue, need more information, or have a solution, please leave a reply.

I think you can press control click and it'll be a right click. Also another thing you can do is go to System Preferences and go to mouse. There should be an option to change what combination of keys you use for right click. If all else fails, then find another mouse to play minecraft with. -diamondhunter

Try restarting your computer as I have had this problem before. Honestly, Macs aren't great for gaming. You should save up for a pc. I suggest tower computers.

Right, I get the same problem, but I have a way to fix it though, (It might get you killed if in combat)

It's pretty simple, all you do is go to Options - Controls then all you do is where it says use item, click it then use the right mouse AGAIN and it is the same with left mouse button.

I hope this sorts confusion, Redjosepie :)

EDIT: PM me any questions you have about this, I'll be glad to help!

I've just started using my old mouse, which is fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, tried it and didn't do anything. My mac gets pretty good fps, the only reason I dislike it for gaming is because the selection of games is extremely limited compared to PCs.
