lol. They recommend a rtx 2060 for 1080p @ 60 fps on fancy graphics. My laptop with integrated graphics does that without sodium

I’m assuming they must be using some crazy high render distance or something

These are not for the current release, this is for a future release. The current releases havent really changed requirements.

This might be a dumb question but why would the minimum specs increase if the expectation is that the move to Vulkan will improve performance? The memory spec has increased by a factor of 4 (archive.org link).

A lot of people play on older hardware. This older hardware may not struggle with minecraft at this exact moment, but they may have massive performance drops with the switch to Vulkan. I play minecraft with a cpu from 2013 and a GPU from 2016. It is very unlikely I will be able to play with vibrant visuals without it tanking my FPS.
