StringJunky Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Any good?: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hardware_requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Do you know any friends who have an account? The software is free; the account costs a one-time payment. Have fun trying to find a good server if none of your friends play. Also, most mods are server-side things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play it, though, you need a login. And the good mods are server side. The only user side mods I know of are just like custom paintings and whatnot that only you can see.

StringJunky Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Might be worth asking in MC forum: http://www.minecraftforum.net/index.php What does the downloadable client do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 What does the downloadable client do? It does the same thing the in-browser flash client does. It's just a standalone program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringJunky Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) What's the make and model of your pc? I'll find it's spec's and check them against the listed requirements and see how it scores. To give you an example it will be something like this I need. HP Compaq CQ56-212SA. You'll find it on the back somewhere on a metal label probably...I need those last few digits and letters too. Also your windows version you are running...XP Vista or W7 Edited December 21, 2012 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cursory look at the screenshots didn't make me think it was memory and processor intensive...I thought there was something I was missing. It did say somewhere though a low ping internet connection is desirable for multiplayer. Edited December 21, 2012 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
