Linux Mint Forums

My PC runs on Linux Mint xfce, with a dual core pentium processor (G2010) and 3.7GiB ram. I have weeded out most of the widgets and background apps and the system utilizes about 400-600MiB ram in resting state which seemed good enough for me.
Now then I started Minecraft with my Task Manager (60MiB) turned on. I have stated the results below {leaving out the mem. consumed by desktop and background apps}:
Launcher 300MiB
Game menu intro 800MiB
In Game 1.2GiB to 1.7GiB and 60% to 97% processor use.
Every 20min the RAM usage increased by .1GiB, most likely cause I was foraging and moving around.
Well, is this good or I can try some hacks to bring down the RAM usage?

Probably not given whilst on the windows version when updating to 1.16.1 it suggested new ram requirements for game was 8gig ram.

you however might be lucky

I could never make it run well in this old junk when it was running on windows. Seems like I shouldn't poke it any more, as long as it works

My suggestion would be to use https://multimc.org/ on laptops and dont go over 1.12.2 version (32-bit) if you can work out how to use the program (i havent yet)

Thanks for that. Have heard of it before, never knew what it was..

@PratyayMondal

the MultiMC is beautiful

just need to remember to install java 8 runtime (open java 8 runtime) for 1.12.2
