yes it will and most likely can handle some mods with it as well minecraft itself is more based on cpu processing speed and treading anyway and from what i can tell that's a dx12 card and all you need is a dx9 compatible card so yea should run well frames wise but loading time and buffering of entire world depends on the processor in this said machine hope it helps

I suggest not getting an Apple computer. They cost a whole lot more than building a computer or even prebuilts that aren't Apple. How much is it?

Build a computer. (Seriously though, you can play minecraft on a potato, yes it will work.)
PS I do not understand your blatant downvoting, I did answer your question honestly after all.
