RIP, Peter.
Our team teared up hearing you record as Thaedus the first time, and our eyes are misty again now.
You’ll ALWAYS have a coalition of fans in us.
Rest easy, friend.
Many tech-illiterate people have been incorrectly bashing on Minecraft PC's new RTX 2060 and RX 5600 XT's GPU recommendations.
We have the exact same GPU recommendations at RPCS3. Why? Because they're the oldest entry-level GPUs with active driver support.
You hit a driver bug and need support from the vendor? These are the oldest architectures they will ship a fix for. Want to optionally use new API features/extensions for increased performance or new graphical features? Need drivers that support them.
Mojang's decision to move to a Vulkan render, like all modern console emulators, comes late but is completely correct.
People complain about developers not wanting to optimise their application/game, but this change is exactly about that.
Using Vulkan allows them to push previous optimisation limits to optimise Minecraft's renderer even further. Vulkan moves a lot of the optimisation burden from the drivers to the application/game. That's due to the low-level nature of the API and the amount of features and extensions it has. This is especially good for cases where the OpenGL driver is of very poor quality, such as on Intel GPUs and mobile platforms.
Contrary to OpenGL, which is a finished and stagnated higher-level API, Vulkan is a lower-level, more complex API with very active driver development, which sometimes introduces driver issues. We know firsthand how important driver support is: we've already reported many driver bugs to different vendors that have been fixed, some that we couldn't workaround.
So, does that mean you need a GPU that powerful or that recent to run new versions of Minecraft PC now? No. You can use older and/or weaker GPUs that support Vulkan 1.3 such as a GTX 950 or a RX 460. It's just not recommended, as you might miss out on new optional optimisations or fixes that need newer drivers, it's as simple as that. Recommended requirements are not minimum requirements.
Welcome to the @VulkanAPI, @Minecraft.

Hi everyone,
Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.
FUCKING HALO CYCLE.
CEA WAS SHIT, IS SHIT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE SHIT.
You can't say "Sorry CEA I treated you too harshly" when CEA just fucking shit and Campaign Evolved hasn't even been released yet and is objectively a thousand times more faithful to the original CE.
Rest In Peace D'Angelo, a true titan of soul. We are eternally grateful for his track "Unshaken" which will forever be an enduring part of the legacy of Red Dead Redemption 2.
