I managed to run EndstoneMC on an Apple Silicon Mac!

I would not have made this discussion if there wasn't a way to emulate a lightweight, x86_64 Linux machine with filesystem access to the guest OS (being macOS in my case) -- Lima does exactly that.

I installed Lima using Homebrew and created an x86 Ubuntu VM with bridged networking using vmnet, mounted and made my preferred folder writable, and it uses QEMU for x86_64 emulation.

While it may be slow to start up and start EndstoneMC, it works without using Docker. One or two (depending on compatibility) with Docker is that the filesystem is limited to the container itself, and you can't execute commands in the console -- with this setup, you can. Now my goal is to make an EndstoneMC plug-in that fixes the major BDS exploits and runs the Python/C++ version of the add on I made using MCBE's scripting API.
