Can I run Minecraft (Java Edition)?
Check your PC against Minecraft (Java Edition)'s requirements (2011). If you fall short, we'll point you straight to the upgrade that fixes it — checked for fit, power and bottleneck against your exact PC.
On the GPU side, Minecraft (Java Edition) is a very light game and spreads the load fairly evenly between your GPU and CPU. To match the recommended specs, aim for roughly a GeForce 700 / Radeon Rx 200 with Core i5-4690 / Ryzen 3 and 8 GB of RAM.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | Intel HD 4000 (OpenGL 4.4) | GeForce 700 / Radeon Rx 200 |
| CPU | Core i3-3210 / A8-7600 | Core i5-4690 / Ryzen 3 |
