As mentioned above, in this material, Minecraft is a very "heavy" game in terms of load on hardware, so it slows down on many computers, let's look at ways to optimize performance in Minecraft.

Game FAQ

Question: I can't craft anything, there is no 3 by 3 window

Answer: Make a workbench. The vast majority of things are crafted through the workbench

A lot of time has passed since the release of Minecraft. The game has found its fans who regularly enjoy the gameplay. You can find thousands of Minecraft videos on Youtube, but these are mainly letplays and fan videos. But there are very few videos that explain how to solve the problem with a crash or launch of the game. But this is not a problem: today we will analyze the main bugs and how to deal with them.

Minimum system requirements:

• Processor 1.5 GHz (multi-core) or 2.2 GHz (single-core)
• 1 GB RAM
• OpenGL 2.1+ graphics card
• 120 MB free hard disk space

Everyone who has seen Minecraft at least once knows that the game does not have any resource-intensive special effects and cool graphics. If you have any problems with the game, it is unlikely that this is due to the technical characteristics of your computer, since the game can be run even on Windows 98.

Minecraft crashes on startup

Most often, startup problems occur due to corrupted files. How to solve this problem: delete the server folder located at the root of the game folder and replace it with a newer version.

Another option is to add the Launcher.jar file, which is located in the same root folder with the game, to the exceptions of your antivirus.

Lags and crashes during the game

The most popular option that may cause problems with Minecraft is outdated drivers or Java SDK. The solution is simple:

1. Install the latest drivers for the video card and other computer components
2. Install the latest Java SDK which can be found at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

Most likely you have installed a new version of the game that requires a new version of Java and drivers, so this should help you fix the glitches.

If Minecraft starts, but it is impossible to play due to strong lags, then you should optimize the graphical settings. Open "Settings", then go to the item "Graphics Settings" and set the following parameters:

• Graphics - "Fast"
• Soft lighting - "Off"
• 3D Anaglyph - Off
• Particles - "Minimum"
• Draw range - "Very close"
• Performance - "Maximum FPS"
• Clouds - "Off"
• Vertical sync - "Off"

These are, in fact, the "lightest" graphical settings, at which the game should not slow down in any way. If even with such settings nothing has changed, then the problem is 99% in the Java SDK (the solution is described above).

You can often hear from players that they have problems after installing some mods. There is nothing but how to remove these mods, you will not advise. The reason is that the add-on either does not fit your version of the game, or simply has broken files. Accordingly, we read the requirements of the mod and update Minecraft to the required version or are looking for another version of this add-on.

Changing Java Runtime Parameters

Sometimes it happens that the Java settings indicate some kind of limitation on the allocation of RAM for the game. It is very easy to check and fix it:

1. Find on the Java taskbar
2. Open and go to the Java tab
3. Click View
4. In the window that appears, double-click on the Runtime Parameters field
5. We change everything that is written there in -Xms% MEMORY% m -Xmx% MEMORY% m, where% MEMORY% is the amount of minimum (Xms) and maximum (Xmx) RAM that you are ready to allocate for the game.

In conclusion, we remind you that in case of any specific problems, you can always leave us a detailed description in the comments. We will try to help everyone! Have a nice game!

Instruction video

Often, the pleasure of the game is spoiled by the arising bugs in minecraft especially if you don't know how to fix them. Below are the most common problem situations:

- error while connecting to server- it means that there are problems with connection to the server, it is observed when the launcher either starts for a long time, or does not start at all. In this case, you need to determine what kind of security program blocks Internet access for the launcher;

"Error-connect1" window - appears when Internet access is blocked. You should check which of the programs is running - antivirus, Firewall or firewall ( search - Start -> Control Panel -> Windows Defender);

The "Error-connect2" window is an error similar to the previous one. To fix it, you can recommend either turning off all protection (exclusively for the duration of the game), or adding the launcher to the list of exceptions, which is more acceptable. Do it like this: Windows Firewall -> Exceptions tab -> add -> launcher name... If you nevertheless chose the first path, it is worth checking the antivirus settings, since some programs are still active in the background when disabled, or, conversely, you can switch the program to play mode.

Why Minecraft crashes?

These were errors related to the launch of the game. However, there are also other errors that accompany Minecraft crash... For example, the message "Bad Video Card Drivers" reminds you that the installed drivers are outdated, you need to download new drivers for the existing video card. Message "Out of Memory" means that either there is not enough RAM or there are too many programs running at the moment.

Black screen when launching Minecraft

Sometimes a black screen appears when launching a minecraft game- it signals that a mod has been installed that has not passed authentication control. To fix the error, you can simply delete the META-INF file folder (the root folder is minecraft.jar).

Also, errors with servers are common, which are caused either by the actions of the player, or by the developers themselves (which is not uncommon in the latest versions of Minecraft).
