Hi, sorry, I'm very new to minecraft so i apologise if this is a stupid question. It probably is.
Minecraft was working fine, and in the middle of playing it stuck. I can't do anything apart from rotate! I've quit levels. same problem on every level. I've rebooted my mac. same thing. I've re-downloaded minecraft. same thing.
It is working fine on my macbookpro laptop using snowleopard.
It is stuck on my Powermac, Lion OS, latest java, loads of RAM, new big graphics card etc etc
Can you help?
Thanks.

hi...yes none of them work.

hi...
yes none of them work. nor does the space bar. nor does the mouse to hit. moving the mouse changes the rotation, that's all.

thanks everyone. it's sorted.

It was simple. but elusive; I'm an idiot.
I think what happened is that my 7 year old son had somehow accidentally got onto the "controls" modification and set everything (by repeated mouse clicking) to "Button 1". Hence the strange impasse on movement, apart from rotation. Hence it just applying to Minecraft and nothing else.
Anyway, I hope this sad tale helps anyone else who allows their child to play minecraft unsupervised.

over and out.
