Minecraft is a game in which we can explore our creativity and has become one of the most popular in the world due to its different added functions. Minecraft requires the following hardware to function and run optimally:

 

Requirements
  • Operating System: Windows 11, 10, macOS Mojave (10.14.5) or later versions, Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora).
  • Processor: Intel Core i3-3210 or AMD A8-7600 APU or similar.
  • RAM memory: 4 GB recommended 8 GB.
  • Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 or AMD Radeon R5 with OpenGL 4.4 or higher versions.
  • Storage: 4 GB available space.
  • Internet Connection: Required to download the game and to play online which is key.

 

 

Now, RAM is one of the most essential parts for the game to flow, if we do not have adequate RAM we will see slowness in the game, crashes, freezes, etc..

 

 

Based on this, TechnoWikis will explain how to increase the RAM (based on what the PC has) and thus enjoy Minecraft to the fullest.

 


1 Check available RAM memory Windows 11

 

Step 1

The first thing will be to know the RAM that we have on the computer. For this we will go to the route:

Step 4

This parameter indicates a group of configurations and options that will be used when running any Java application. Minecraft is based on Java, so when it opens it will be loaded with this RAM memory value.
We apply the changes.

4 Increase RAM in Minecraft from Minecraft Launcher

 

Step 1

The Minecraft launcher itself allows us to configure certain attributes such as RAM, in this case, we open Minecraft Launcher from the Start menu:
