- MultiMC - a custom, lightweight and intuitive open source launcher.
- Prism Launcher - a fork of MultiMC with a built-in mod downloader and updater and installer for Modrinth and CurseForge mods, Quilt support, better linux packaging, proper Microsoft Account support on linux, and more community-centric.
Performance
It is recommended to use performance mods to improve the performance.

Notes

Hardware accelerated Ray Tracing
- This method makes use of the Vulkanite mod, which itself relies on Vulkan OpenGL Interoperability this may cause severe graphical issues depending on your hardware and driver.
- This mod is still under heavy development and bugs are to be expected.
- This mod WILL require a GPU with Ray tracing acceleration (RTX 2000+ and AMD 6000+, intel arcs are not yet supported).

- Translation completion status is written in brackets then there are several language variants listed in a note. An absence of percentage means the translation is complete.

Chat settings
- Multiplayer is not compatible with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition unless the server uses Geyser.[7]
- No Chat Reports removes the cryptographic signatures that have been appended to every message sent in chat since 1.19. The reason for using this mod is that the reporting system can be heavily exploited and get your Microsoft account banned from multiplayer games even if you have not violated any rules.[12][13][14]

Steam Deck
Minecraft is not available through SteamOS, but can be installed manually. Minecraft can be played through a launcher such as Prism Launcher (a fork of MultiMC).
| Install Minecraft using Prism Launcher[16] |
|---|

Issues fixed
- Mojang has created an Official Bug Tracker that can be used to find or report bugs.
Graphical issues
| Black borders on Blocks[1] |
|---|
|
Memory issues
See the RAM allocation section.
Performance issues
See the Mods section.
Text rendering issues
The default in-game font doesn't support various writing systems or parts of it, therefore auto-generated "Unicode font" is used for these instances, which doesn't follow original art style and lacks readability.
Some scripts require features such as letters forms and combining diacritics, which are not supported by the game's default font engine, but Minecraft supports TTF/OTF fonts since version 1.13 [17]
[18]
Arabic script
| Install Rooyin font |

Other information
API
| Technical specs | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OpenGL | 3.2, 4.4, 4.5 | |
| Vulkan | Undocumented officially. Use VulkanMod with the Fabric or Quilt mod loaders to enable it. Incompatible with Sodium or any other mod that relies on OpenGL rendering. |
| Executable | PPC | 32-bit | 64-bit | ARM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | |||||
| macOS (OS X) | PowerPC is only known to support up to 1.5.2, due to Java ≥6 not having PowerPC versions.[19] ARM requires m1-multimc-hack and the MultiMC or Prism Launcher launchers. | ||||
| Linux | PowerPC support for recent Minecraft versions require the MultiMC or Prism Launcher launchers.[20] ARM requires Optifine.[21] |
- 32-bit systems are not supported starting from game version 1.20.5 and onwards.[22]
Middleware
| Middleware | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Audio | OpenAL Soft | 1.21.1 |
| Input | GLFW | 3.4 |
Java
- The Windows version of Minecraft includes Java (used for Minecraft only). Installing Java manually is not necessary.
- Using 64-bit Java on 64-bit operating systems is strongly recommended.[23]
- Additionally, 32-bit Java is not supported starting from game version 1.20.5 and onwards.[22]
- Recommendations for manual in-depth configuration of runtime arguments can be found here.
Mods
- Latest version (1.20.5) made a lot of breaking changes - most of the mods and modpacks are currently only available for 1.20.4.
Modpacks
- Modpacks can be installed using MultiMC-based Launchers by pressing Add Instance, going to the Modrinth tab, searching for the desired modpack and pressing Ok.
Best performance
- Simply Optimized is a modpack that strictly contains only optimization mods in their best configuration, without any quality-of-life or visual enhancements, providing the best possible performance. Extras can still be added if the user wishes.
- Adrenaline is an alternative modpack to Simply Optimized which could be considered more stable due to using less experimental optimizations
OptiFine alternatives
- Fabulously Optimized is a modpack that aims to be an alternative to OptiFine, providing many of its graphical and performance features. It is inspired by LambdAurora's list of OptiFine alternatives
- Additive is an alternative modpack to Fabulously Optimized which, in some cases, may provide better performance
Mods
- Nvidium is a replacement rendering backend for Sodium that uses Nvidia-only OpenGL extensions to heavily-improve performance and majorly increase the rendering distance with minimal performance compromises. Requires an Nvidia GPU with mesh shader support (16-series and higher) and Fabric/Quilt 1.19.4+
- Iris introduces shader support for Fabric-based instances (already included in OptiFine alternatives modpacks). Shaders can modify all kinds of visual features, including but not limited to: shadows, reflections, anti-aliasing, volumetric effects, dynamic and colored lighting, water waves and more. One of the most popular shaderpacks is Complementary Shaders. Requires Fabric/Quilt 1.16.5+
- Oculus is an unofficial fork of Iris for Forge 1.16.5 to 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.20.1+
Modding
Mod Loaders
- Mod Loaders can be automatically installed using Launchers.
- Only one mod loader can be installed at a time.
- Fabric is required for many mods for Minecraft 1.14 and above
- Quilt is a hard-fork of Fabric, focusing on being more community-centric. Supports most of the mods made for Fabric
- Forge may be required for some specific or big overhaul mods
- NeoForge is a hard-fork of Forge created by the original main Forge development team. Recommended instead of Forge for 1.20.1+
Modlists
- Useful Mods is the biggest list of every notable performance, bugfix and quality of life mods available for every notable version separately.
- Simply Optimized provides a list of the current best optimization mods to use together.
Optimization mods (Forge/NeoForge)
- The mods below are an alternative to the Simply Optimized mod list for use with Forge instead, and are for the latest Minecraft version, which is 1.20 at the time of this writing. If you are looking for mods for older versions, see the list above instead.
- Embeddium, unofficial port of Sodium for Forge 1.16.5 to 1.20.2 and NeoForge 1.20.2+
- Canary, unofficial hard-fork of Lithium for Forge 1.18.2+
- Radium, unofficial port of Lithium for Forge 1.20.1, more performant than Canary in some cases
- Noisium heavily improves world generation performance. Requires Forge/NeoForge/Fabric/Quilt 1.20+
- BadOptimizations is a collection of micro optimizations that add up together. Requires Forge or Fabric/Quilt 1.19.1+.
- Entity Culling stops the rendering of enemies behind blocks, considerably improving performance. Requires Forge 1.6.3+ or Fabric/Quilt 1.16+
- ImmediatelyFast heavily optimizes general rendering. Requires Forge 1.19 to 1.20.2, NeoForge 1.20.2+ or Fabric/Quilt 1.19+
- ModernFix improves performance, reduces memory usage and fixes bugs. Requires Forge 1.16.5 to 1.20.2, NeoForge 1.20.2+ or Fabric 1.16.4+
- Very Many Players improves multiplayer performance. Requires Forge 1.19.2+
- OptiFine is a proprietary optimization mod, which also adds support for HD textures, shader packs, and graphical improvements. Requires Forge. Incompatible with Sodium (and its ports) and may conflict with other mods - more info here
RAM allocation
- Recommendations for setting the allocation can be found here.
