The game is about to hit legal age, so it needs big-boy PC specs, too.

      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.

          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
