Essential improvements
Utilities
- Magic Launcher - a custom launcher. It can configure some in-game options and includes a dedicated mod loader with compatibility checks.
- MultiMC - a custom open source launcher. It allows you to have multiple, separate instances of Minecraft, each with their own mods, texture packs, saves, etc.
Mods
- Minecraft Forge is required by most mods, and is the standard for a modded setup.
- OptiFine adds support for HD textures and a lot of options for better looks and performance. As of 12/17/2015, Optifine now also supports shaderpacks.
- MCPatcher can be used alternatively without the performance for better HD texture support.
Java version
- The Windows version of Minecraft includes Java (used for Minecraft only). Installing Java manually is not necessary.
- Minecraft benefits from using the latest version of Java. Using 64-bit Java on 64-bit operating systems is strongly recommended.[4]
RAM allocation

Issues fixed
- Mojang has created an Official Bug Tracker that you can use to find or report bugs. Please search for your problem before reporting it, as it may have already been fixed for the next update or reported previously. Reporting bugs multiple times does NOT help the developer fix them faster.
General fixes
- Some problems can be solved by simply restarting the client.
