Essential improvements

Launchers

While the official launcher is sufficient for vanilla players, some users may want to separate their Minecraft instances, each of which can have its own mods, texture packs, saves, etc.

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

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

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).

Enable Hardware accelerated Ray Tracing
Download the Sodium; Iris; and Vulkanite mods, and install them using Fabric modloader. Download and install the demo shaderpack made by BalintCsala into the `shaderpack` folder. Launch the game and load the shaderpack installed.

Mouse acceleration

Disable Windows mouse acceleration^[8]

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).

Download the MarkC Mouse Acceleration Fix. Extract its contents to a new folder.
Open the Start menu and open the Control panel. Select Display from the list.
Check the PC's text size (100%, 125%, 150%) in the display settings.
Open the folder created in step 1. Open the sub-folder that fits the operating system.
Double-click the .reg file that corresponds with the text display percentage. Confirm the changes to registry.
Reboot the PC.

Controller, Touchscreen and eye tracking

Two mods are available to implement controller support into the game - however, both have some features the other doesn't.

Use MidnightControls^[9]

Notes

Requires Fabric/Quilt 1.18+.

Aims for parity with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Allows to use controllers, touchscreen and eye trackers.

Allows for splitscreen play.

Use Controllable^[10]

Notes

Requires Forge/NeoForge 1.12+ or Fabric/Quilt 1.19+. Fabric version available here.

Allows to use controllers.

Allows playing multiple instances of the game on the same PC, allowing for local co-op play.

Localizations

Localization is done by the community via Crowdin. An up-to-date page of all localizations can be found here, however some of them—especially ones with low completion percentage—may be unavailable in the game for a long period of time until the devs will add them.

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.

Network

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]

Press Power then select Switch to Desktop
Open Discover
Search for and install Prism Launcher
Log into Minecraft account (Mojang or Microsoft)
Within Prism Launcher, open Settings → Minecraft, enable Close Prism Launcher after game window opens
Within Steam, click Games → Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library, add Prism Launcher
Return to Gaming Mode → Library → Non-Steam and launch Prism Launcher

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]
Disable forced anisotropic filtering in the graphics card options menu, and only use the in-game Mip Maps settings.

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

Works for Minecraft 1.13 and higher.

Download Rooyin font resource pack.
Put the zip file into <path-to-game>/resourcepacks folder.
In the menu go to Options > Resource Packs.
Move Rooyin-Font pack to Selected area and press Done.
For the better chat readability go to Options > Chat Settings and set Line Spacing to 45%.

If This pack was made for an older version of Minecraft and may not work correctly. warning occurs, ignore it and press Yes.

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]

Middleware

	Middleware	Notes
Audio	OpenAL Soft	1.21.1

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.^[22]

In addition, 32-bit Java will not be supported from game version 1.21 and onwards.^[23]

Recommendations for manual in-depth configuration of runtime arguments can be found here.

Mods

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.

The official launcher and third-party Launchers allow to easily allocate RAM and set other Java arguments. The manual methods are detailed below.

OS X memory allocation^{[citation needed]}
Right-click on `Minecraft.app` in Finder and choose Show Package Contents. Go to `Contents` and open `info.plist` using TextEdit. Modify `-Xms ### MB` - replace ### with the minimum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes). Modify `-Xmx $$$ MB` - replace $$$ with the maximum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).

Linux memory allocation^{[citation needed]}
Go to the location of `Minecraft.jar`. 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).

 ==Essential improvements==
-===Utilities===
+===Launchers===
-* [http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/1262884 Magic Launcher] - a custom launcher. It can configure some in-game options and includes a dedicated mod loader with compatibility checks.
+{{ii}} While the official launcher is sufficient for vanilla players, some users may want to separate their Minecraft instances, each of which can have its own mods, texture packs, saves, etc.
-* [http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/1262993 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.
+* [https://multimc.org/ MultiMC] - a custom, lightweight and intuitive open source launcher.
+* [https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher 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.
-===Mods===
-* Minecraft [http://files.minecraftforge.net/ Forge] is required by most mods, and is the standard for a modded setup.
-* [http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1272953 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.
-** [http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/resource-packs/1226351 MCPatcher] can be used alternatively without the performance for better HD texture support.
-===Java version===
-{{ii}} The Windows version of Minecraft includes Java (used for Minecraft only). Installing Java manually is not necessary.
-{{ii}} Minecraft benefits from using the latest version of Java. Using 64-bit Java on 64-bit operating systems is strongly recommended.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/269042-java-7-massive-minecraft-performance-boost/</ref>
-===RAM allocation===
-{{ii}} The official launcher allows you to easily allocate RAM and set other Java arguments. The manual methods are detailed below.
-{{Fixbox|1=
-{{Fixbox/fix|OS X memory allocation|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}}}
-# Right-click on <code>Minecraft.app</code> in Finder and choose Show Package Contents.
-# Go to <code>Contents</code> and open <code>info.plist</code> using TextEdit.
-# Modify <code>-Xms ### MB</code> - replace '''###''' with the minimum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
-# Modify <code>-Xmx $$$ MB</code> - replace '''$$$''' with the maximum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
-}}
-{{Fixbox|1=
-{{Fixbox/fix|Linux memory allocation|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}}}
-# Go to the location of <code>Minecraft.jar</code>.
-# Run the command <code>java -jar Xms###MB -Xmx$$$MB Minecraft.jar</code>
-#* Replace '''###''' with the minimum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
-#* Replace '''$$$''' with the maximum amount of memory Minecraft can use (in megabytes).
-}}
-===Make a portable version or install on a different drive===
+===Performance===
-{{Fixbox|1=
+It is recommended to use [[#Mods|performance mods]] to improve the performance.
-{{Fixbox/fix|Installing to a different/portable location|ref={{cn|date=December 2016}}}}
-{{++}} 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.
-{{ii}} This method is only available on Windows.
-# Make a folder where you want to store Minecraft game data.
-# Move the <code>.minecraft</code> folder from <code>{{p|appdata}}</code> to the folder you made.
-# [https://minecraft.net/download Download the latest Minecraft version] and save it into the folder you made.
-# Open Notepad
-# Paste in the following text:<br><code>set APPDATA=%CD%</code><br><code>Java -jar Minecraft.exe</code>
-# Choose File>Save and choose the folder you made in step 1.
-# Save the file as <code>Minecraft.bat</code> (or similar).
-You can now launch Minecraft from <code>Minecraft.bat</code> 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|Java version]]). You can make a shortcut to Minecraft.bat on the desktop and so forth to launch it more conveniently.
