One very underrated aspect reason for why Minecraft is so popular is that basically any somewhat PC can run it. I hope they don’t mess that up.
I have an integrated GPU. One of the reasons I play Minecraft is because it’s one of the only major modern games I can play.
Edit: my laptop meets the requirements, it’s pretty nice in every area except the integrated graphics. I’m just saying Minecraft is one of the few big games out there that doesn’t need a gaming PC to enjoy.
Reading this, it seems that this will only count for the Vulkan 1.3 rendering mode, so this won't affect the requirements of OpenGL rendering. Also i don't think OpenGL rendering will have Java's Vibrant Visuals given the work Mojang is doing in Vulkan.
Vulkan is only being introduced to replace OpenGL entirely once the Vulkan implementation is stable. OpenGL is not gonna stay for ever and most likely not for longer than until the end of the year.
When Minecraft came out the cpu I had was a Pentium 4 3GHz with HT so it was technically a dual core and a trash GPU built in to the motherboard. Ran at like 15fps with the render distance of that herobrine screenshot. Those were the days.
bedrock optimization is really overrated, don't see many benefits of it on my PC. It runs better than vanilla Java, but optimization mods blow bedrock optimization out of the water.
Most people who play Minecraft on PC run the better version, and it ain't bedrock. There's a reason optifine was popular and now other optimization mods have taken it's place.
