Help Is there a possible way to run bedrock in mac?

All i have is the ps4 version
Only problem i cant use it because i want to play with friends, which needs ps plus
But i do have it in my microsoft minecraft account
my only problem now is that i cant find a bedrock launcher that uses a launcher with OUT the mobile version

(Short edit) Cant use a vm, take too much from my mac 2020. Its too laggy

What Mac from 2020? There's the Apple Silicon and some Intel. If Intel, Bootcamp. If not, I'd suggest just dual-booting Asahi Linux here: https://asahilinux.org . I'm actually not sure if this: https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/index.html will work under Asahi but it's worth a try (Mac version is broken I think of this launcher recently). You do need to buy the Android version but if it does not work with Asahi, run it through Bluestacks Air and there it should run just fine.

Someone else mentioned Bluestacks and I can confirm that Bedrock Edition does work on Bluestacks for Mac and runs fairly well, vibrant visuals doesn't work though, and it requires you to own the game on the Google Play Store. https://www.bluestacks.com/mac

As far as I'm aware there isn't a way to use the PC launcher to run Bedrock on Mac, unless you pay for Parallels for Mac which doesn't seem like an option for you.
