Good ol’ buttcraft

I don’t really mean in terms of mods, but like go off if you wanna. I’m a lifelong Minecraft enjoyer, played it basically from Alpha right up to release, and dropped off around 1.2ish. I’ve played it in bursts again over the years, but the more weird stuff they add the more weirded out I feel. I just wanna build houses with sloping rooves, sheesh… It does kind of make me wanna just give up and play Legacy Console on Wii U or something weird.

[Minecraft boomer alert I guess]

I don’t totally hate what they’ve done with the game itself but it’s clear that the launcher is a lost cause. Plus how does Java chug this badly on a Ryzen 2600? I have to choose between a performance mod that makes the game run, or pad support, because one of them uses Fabric and the other uses the other thing. Remember when Minecraft mods was just dumping .jar files into the game’s directory?

I mean to ask, what is the way cool kids play Minecraft nowadays? Are there cool alternative launchers or modpaks or a specific version or whatever I can play that’s cooler than Microsoft Occupied Minecraft and are more fun?

idk how the cool kids do it but as a big fucking nerd? i’ve been trying to get into Gregtech: New Horizons which is Minecraft for a very specific subset of autistic masochists who like to spend 18 years doing basic shit. I only really quit because every time I booted it up I could hear my ram chip crying

I think part of my issue is I do not have the correct autism, I never got into redstone or whatever, the weird engineering shit people do in minecraft yeets my brain… I can still remember when it was just about blocks…

oh that’s beyond fair. Gregtech is bizarre and sucks and that’s exactly why I like it. I don’t think I’ve even made it to actual machines, unless you count a windmill multiblock

I use ATLauncher, it’s broadly fine. Pretty easy to find and install modpacks from various sources. I was playing the Create Astral pack but it kept annoying me into tweaking it until I gave up, so now I’m waiting for the hexbear server to launch.

Pretty sure the 7600K that I have is even worse than the 2600 and it runs fine on my machine. You do have to enable the thing to allow it to use enough ram. This guide seems to cover how to do that in a bunch of different launchers.

Oh it needs to be given more ram? Wild, okay. Ty for ATLauncher.

By default minecraft java is restricted to 4gb of ram for bizarre historical reasons, probably something to do with 32bit nonsense leftovers idk, but if you set it to be able to use a reasonable amount of ram it runs a lot better.
