What are the system requirements for Minecraft?

Asked a year ago
The system requirements for Minecraft are relatively modest, allowing players to enjoy the game on a wide range of devices. For the Java Edition, Mojang recommends a PC running Windows 10 or macOS Mojave (10.14) or later, with a minimum of 4GB of RAM and 4GB of available storage. A decent CPU and a graphics card that supports OpenGL 4.5 or higher are also desirable. For Minecraft on consoles, such as Xbox One or PlayStation 4, no specific system requirements are listed as these devices are optimized to run games smoothly. Additionally, Minecraft Pocket Edition can be enjoyed on iOS and Android devices, with newer models offering improved performance. It's worth noting that the actual requirements can vary depending on the complexity of mods or resource packs used, thus it's recommended to check the detailed specifications on Mojang's official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
