minus-squarebob_lemon@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·20 days agoMinimum is listed as 8GB. 16GB is recommended.
minus-squareTruscapelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·20 days agoNot 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.

minus-squareTruscapelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·19 days agoThat 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.
