Minecraft Start Guide

This guide will tell you how to get the most performance possible on Minecraft. This guide will also assume you have downloaded the latest Minecraft Launcher (as of 11/6/20).

Chapter 1: Installing and Applying 64-bit Java

If you don't have a 64-bit computer (required for this), you really need to buy a new PC.

Chapter 1.1: Installation

1. Go here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
2. Download "Windows Offline (64-bit)".
3. Run it as admin and follow the instructions.

Chapter 1.2: Application

1. Go to the Minecraft Launcher.
2. Create a new profile.
3. Name it what you want, set the version, etc.
4. Click "More Options", and set the Java Executable to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_???\javaw.exe (the ??? is the version number).
5. Click "Create".

Now you have 64-bit Minecraft, which means it can take advantage of the performance boosts we are giving it.

Chapter 2: Adding more RAM

Only do this chapter if you are:

• Experiencing slowdowns (low framerate, stuttering, etc.)
• Playing modded Minecraft

1. Go to the Minecraft Launcher.
2. Edit the profile you created in Chapter 1.
3. Click "More Options" (if the JVM Arguments aren't shown).
4. In the JVM arguments, set -Xmx2G to -Xmx?G (the ? is the amount of RAM you want). Note that you shouldn't add too much RAM, or else problems may occur!
