Key points

Active and dedicated modding scene, responsible for many fixes, tools and additional content.
Game follows the Software as a Service model and support for previously supported platforms can easily be removed with the next version.[1]
Likely to perform worse than the Windows 10 Edition on low-end hardware.[2]

Essential improvements

Utilities

  • 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

  • Fabric is required for many mods for Minecraft 1.14. Can be automatically installed with the 'Install Fabric' option in developer builds of MultiMC.
  • Minecraft Forge is required by most mods, and is the standard for a modded setup. Keep in mind all builds for Minecraft 1.13 and 1.14 are unstable. Can be automatically installed with the 'Install Forge' option in MultiMC.
  • 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.

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.[5]

RAM allocation

The official launcher allows you to easily allocate RAM and set other Java arguments. The manual methods are detailed below.
OS X memory allocation[citation needed]
  1. Right-click on Minecraft.app in Finder and choose Show Package Contents.
  2. Go to Contents and open info.plist using TextEdit.
  3. Modify -Xms ### MB - replace ### with the minimum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
  4. Modify -Xmx $$$ MB - replace $$$ with the maximum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
Linux memory allocation[citation needed]
  1. Go to the location of Minecraft.jar.
  2. Run the command java -jar Xms###MB -Xmx$$$MB Minecraft.jar
    • Replace ### with the minimum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
    • Replace $$$ with the maximum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).

Make a portable version or install on a different drive

Installing to a different/portable location[citation needed]
Making the Minecraft install portable allows putting the game files on the drive of your choosing, e.g. storing them on an SSD for faster loading, as well as easily using it across multiple computers.
This method is only available on Windows.
  1. Make a folder where you want to store Minecraft game data.
  2. Move the .minecraft folder from %APPDATA% to the folder you made.
  3. Download the latest Minecraft version and save it into the folder you made.
  4. Open Notepad
  5. Paste in the following text:
    set APPDATA=%CD%
    Java -jar Minecraft.exe
  6. Choose File>Save and choose the folder you made in step 1.
  7. Save the file as Minecraft.bat (or similar).

You can now launch Minecraft from Minecraft.bat and everything will be saved in the folder you made. This folder is fully portable so you can move it wherever you like and even put it on external storage to use it on other computers as long as they have Java installed (see Java version). You can make a shortcut to Minecraft.bat on the desktop and so forth to launch it more conveniently.

Field of view (FOV)

Use OptiFine to disable the dynamic FOV feature.
Set custom FOV[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Edit options.txt.
  3. Find fov and modify its value.

Notes

1.0 = 110° FOV, 1.25 = 120°, 1.5 = 130°, 1.75 = 140°, 2.0 = 150°.

Mouse acceleration

Disable Windows mouse acceleration[7]
Minecraft uses a Windows function to control mouse movement, which can be modified.
Modifying the function affects any software that relies on it (not just Minecraft).
  1. Download the MarkC Mouse Acceleration Fix. Extract its contents to a new folder.
  2. Open the Start menu and open the Control panel. Select Display from the list.
  3. Check your PC's text size (100%, 125%, 150%) in the display settings.
  4. Open the folder you created in step 1. Open the sub-folder that fits your operating system.
  5. Double-click the .reg file that corresponds with your text display percentage. Confirm the changes to registry.
  6. Reboot your PC.

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.
Cannot update the game[citation needed]
  1. Check the status of Minecraft services. If all servers are online, continue reading the instructions.
  2. Add Minecraft as an exception to any firewall software you use (including Windows Firewall).
  3. For OS X and Linux uninstall all versions of Java on your computer and install the latest version. Restart your computer.

Graphical issues

Black screen / broken textures[citation needed]
Uninstall any mods and texture packs that are incompatible (or of questionable compatibility) to the version of Minecraft you are using.

Crashes

Some crashes are caused by the game's rendering distance. Try setting it to 8 chunks or lower.
Crashes on a 64-bit operating system[citation needed]
Make sure you have the latest version of Java in its 64-bit variant.

Notes

This fix does not apply to the latest Windows version of Minecraft.
Game crashes with a GPU-related error[citation needed]
Install the latest driver for your graphics card (Intel drivers, Nvidia drivers, AMD drivers).
If you're using a Toshiba laptop with an Intel GPU, uninstall any AMD/ATI driver.

Mouse delay in Minecraft 1.8 and later

Use Mouse Delay Fix[citation needed]
