Java Edition hardware requirements

Any computer with the following hardware should suffice. However, for an enjoyable experience, we suggest looking at the recommended requirements, or even at the optimal requirements.

It is also worth noting, that due to the number of modifications available, Minecraft's exact hardware requirements can be unpredictable. If you have a lot of mods running, pinging each other and passing information around, then your needs are going to be higher than for the unmodified game; although even the vanilla Hopper, with its' extremely makeshift pipe network, recently added some inefficiency. The below guidelines should therefore be considered for the base, unmodified game; although with that said, even with mods, the game itself should never require more than four gigabytes of RAM.


 * Chromebooks running Chrome OS are not supported. However, a rooted Chromebook running a Linux variant will work.

Full game
1 Any CPU with MMX/SSE instructions 2 Any GPU with OpenGL 1.3 support 3 Non-MX Variants 4 Such as DSL, cable or optic fiber 5 Excluding integrated chipsets 6 Excluding integrated chipsets and APUs 7 Minecraft DOES benefit from multi core CPU's 8 Most highend GPU's don't accelerate minecraft too much unless using shaders or high quality resourcepacks 9 Balancing The CPU, RAM, GPU, and your HDD/SSD helps a lot.
 * Java Runtime Environment 6 (jre6u29) or up is required to be able to run the game.
 * Note that these requirements are for the game only you will need to allocate more resources to the OS!
 * Intel 965 Chipsets have issues with OpenGL. Mobile Intel 965 Express cards are unable to play 1.7.4 and later in windows. The Linux drivers still work fine as of 1.8.8.

 * Java Runtime Environment is required to be able to run the game.
