Minecraft revises system requirements for first time in 17 years, recommended memory raised to 16GB
Mojang Studios, a Microsoft unit, has sharply raised the minimum and recommended system requirements for Minecraft: Java Edition for the first time in 17 years. Recommended memory increases to 16GB from 4GB, while graphics requirements move from OpenGL to hardware supporting Vulkan 1.3. Minimum specs target 1080p at 30 FPS, and recommended specs target 1080p at 60 FPS. Mojang said older PCs may still run the game for now but without guarantees.
