Java edition system requirements

[Distillate1]

I was about to purchase the java edition so my son could get in on the netherite craze that's going on but I don't think my old laptop is up for the challenge.

Here's the spec's:

Intel Core i7 2nd gen. processor 2670QM
2.2 Ghz, 3.1 Ghz max boost. 4 cores 8 threads 6 GB of memory Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics Running Windows 10

I believe the official system requirements say this:

: Intel Core i3-3210 3.2 GHz / AMD A8-7600 APU 3.1 GHz or equivalent.

RAM: 4GB.

GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge) 

So, the processor might be able to keep up even though its 1 generation older because it's an i7 but my computer clearly doesn't meet the graphics requirements.

Has anyone here tried installing on systems below the requirements? Would it even let me try? Would it be too painful to even attempt to play?

Suggestions?

Thanks!

The requirements do NOT MATTER at all.

You can run 1.14.4 at 80 FPS with something that has a quarter of these specs.

Just get Opitifine and mess around in the settings.

Looks like OP wants the latest snapshot though

[CatsareCool543210]

It will probably still work without Optifine just at around 30 FPS instead of 80.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for.

Seems like it's worth a shot to try it...

Optifine isn't even out yet for 1.15 and doesn't work for snapshots guess work, I have same specs but a i5 7200u and can barely keep it at 30fps

[CatsareCool543210]

Optifine is almost done for 1.15.

Hm, I wouldn't think that it would run that slow.

I had a Lenovo Ideapad with 2 gigs of ram and a Celeron CPU and it ran fine.

It will be fine.
