How to make MineCraft use your GPU 2021.md

For me all pre-existing tutorials didn't work/were outdated, and NVidia Control Panel seems to no longer open.

Ideally going to Graphics Settings should have "Universal App" option, but I did not have this option.

I only had Desktop app > Browse and Microsoft store app

How to make MineCraft use your GPU

  1. While minecraft is running, open Task Manager (ctrl shift esc) and right click on what should be "OpenJDK Platform binary" and click "Open File Location" image
  2. It should highlight javaw.exe and in my case be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\runtime\java-runtime-alpha\windows-x64\java-runtime-alpha\bin
  3. Copy the file path
  4. Open 'Graphics Settings'
  5. Click Desktop app then Browse

  1. Paste the file path into it and select javaw.exe then press Add image
  2. Set it to High performance and then relaunch minecraft image
