Jesus Christ, Minecraft requires 16GB now??? Please tell me thats not the minimum and is just reccomended... Still egregious though
Minimum is listed as 8GB. 16GB is recommended.
Not if you play modded java edition, you can get by with 8gb in your system and 4gb allocated to the game.
Windows enshittification/Bedrock edition slop is probably why they're setting the bar so high.
Bedrock is way more optimised than java
It was made to work on phones
That was true at a certain point during its life, but after the RTX support was added performance optimization came crashing down.
Sodium on Java runs laps around bedrock nowadays.
Vanilla maybe, but lightly modded Java has been more optimized than bedrock since at least 1.16.5
was more optimized, java runs fine on phones, you just need a couple performance mods
Yeah you can get away with a lot when it comes to 1.21.1+ coupled with Java 25
Next, tech modpacks gun take fucking 32gb ram
