oh yeah get minecraft to run on a potato

I had a friend who had a laptop from 2013 or before. Even though he didn't let me optimize it much, I managed to get it to run at a playable 30-35 fps.

Reminds me of the bad old days when I used to exclusively play the OG Skyblock in Beta on my Inspiron laptop because that was the only way I could play Minecraft at a decent 30-ish FPS. I got a job in 2013 and you can bet your ass I saved every penny to build a gaming PC.

I watched your video my luck same day the next one comes out. Pure brilliance

love that you describe things in a way that is informative to people just starting out with mods but also in a way that doesn't bore people who have been in the community.

bro is obsessed with the 20$ price tag

The most shocking thing in this video to me was the amount of FPS gained going from 8GB to 16GB, especially as you said you didn’t increase Minecraft’s allocated 2GB. Well done, it’s so great making old hardware that anyone else would consider ewaste, useful and capable.

Uploaded on my bday, keep up the good work!

You should consider changing the OS to Windows-X Lite & try to optimise the software. In the stock version, as there are 100+ processes you may face fluctuating issue in the latest version so definitely consider optimising the OS.

really good video, thanks for the info. i might actually have the same or similiar laptop laying around on the thought of the topic so yeha might do a diy project. great idea man appreciate the effort for the vid. :)

its a great day when he uploads, interesting as always

Nice video man👍 I always watch your vids

My leptop with all the optimizes run at 120 fps thanks Notrodan i learned every optimize from you

Wow this upgrade was equal to my old laptop which had 16gb ddr3 ram but it had an i7 4600u CPU which is similar to your upgraded one.

Bro makes interesting content just for us and himself. Respect to NotroDan

Dude, i appreciate all the work you had to do the appropriate upgrade in this machine. This video is very good, and I'm new to your channel. But, i have to be honest with you: to do all of this to play Minecraft only... is a little bit of a waste. There are so many good games that you could try in this setup and increase the content of your tests: Burnout Paradise, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Fallout, Call of Duty World At War, Modern Warfare (2011), PES 2013, and even emulators like PCSX2, to give you some options. Well, remains the suggestion, if it's interesting to you in the future...

LETS GOO AN UPLOAD

big fan bro

Idk if this laptop has an ethernet port but you can get an external gpu housing and connect it where the wifi card is plugged in. I've seen some tech channels try those out in the past to varying degrees of success

Did you check to see if you’re using the highest mt speed ram that it supports because even a little bit more speed will definitely help improve less stuttering and better FPS

btw if u are on 1.20 u can download fabric andf some mods which improves fps a lot

Ps: If you wanna use 1.12.2/legacy Minecraft versions. Use legacy fabric, it allows java 21(using cleanroom loader), and lets you use sodium on old versions, making Minecraft run even faster than optifine will ever reach

Brother can you make a vid for all the good minecraft launchers which are good with fps( not minecraft clients ). Nice and entertaining vids btw keep it up

amazing video! I'd like to see tiny11 before linux since it is better and I am thinking of going tiny11 aswell

you should probably record it with a camera as a recording software will destroy half of your fps. even on a budget gaming laptop rn, obs or recording softwares gives 30 fps on most games. without recording its ofc back to 60+

Lossless scaling frame generation would be a great boost

great video!!! me potato pc for life.

Funny, I just switched to linux on *my* old laptop! So yeah, would want to see you do that!

nah after the upgrade my mind was exploded. It was crazy that it was getting 500fps it was soo smooth. The price in all most have been at least 70-50 buck depending on how much you got them. Super cool though

Do you have any suggestions for my minecraft sodium modpack problem all my mods are just fps boosting mods for 1.20.4 I made sure that they have all their dependencies and all are compatible and it worked it was supper smooth but when I exited my minecraft and hoped back in it didn't work😢 now I can only play 1.19.4 and below any suggestions to fix this bug

Thanks notro bud and will u make a video with linux

You can also try running minecraft on a linux distro like lubuntu (lightweight ubuntu)

love your videos brother....

Alot of the improvement from the ram will be the fact you went from single channel to dual channel thus giving more bandwidth to the cpu and igpu

I just realized I was not subscribed I am subscribing right now

in the past a few laptops cpu s is upgradable. i dont list all of them but maybe the second and third generation intel i3 i5 i7 processors was upgradable.

Which recorder are you using for recording the gameplay?

I turned my laptop into a heater 70C+/158F+ while watching youtube

Maybe a heatsink update or one of these fancy cooling pads that actually do something could solve some of the thermal concerns

So one of the things about Feather is that it's literally just running a stripped down version of Chrome - it uses the Chromium Embedded Framework, which is actually VERY resource intensive. I've also been told it uses CEF for things within the game itself as well for some reason. I advise AGAINST using clients like Feather or Lunar, because the benefits they have are FAR outweighed by the cons. I HIGHLY recommend using Prism Launcher on older machines like this one instead. I run it on my admittedly overkill machine, and the highest I've EVER seen was 120MB of RAM, and 2% CPU. I will admit to having never used Feather before but other CEF apps have used around 1GB-2GB of RAM each. Will you have to do some tweaking yourself? Yes, absolutely. But on lower end machines you'll be able to dedicate MORE performance to Minecraft, and knowing Java as a programming language it could USE that. Prism plus something like Fedora Linux and I'm willing to bet you could easily surpass 200-300FPS in 1.20.4 with Sodium

Notrodan! I suggest upgrading the laptops panel to a better spec and add an external graphics card.

One thing I'd recommend is trying to use an external gpu to try and get off of the integrated graphics

90% of old laptops allow you to upgrade the proccessor. You can do it for 4th gen laptop cpu's 3rd, 2nd, 1st. I have no idea if you can upgrade 5th and 6th gen though.

have you tried the gmm registry hack? it can make u add like 2gb or even 4gb of "vram" from your ram. unless it had the option from bios to set it.

so I've got 4gb of ram ddr4 and 256gb ssd but I still get 14 fps using lunar in minecraft 1.8.9 and I cant invest for upgrades so what shuld I do?

2:05 same when i try to play any game on my lets say gaming laptop lol😂

how is the laptop worth 20 dollars if you upgrade it?

You can add an external GPU through the pcie slot that the Wi-Fi card is using

You should definitely try linux or atlas os on this laptop! BTW what your mic and the stand for the mic?

what website did you use to find the full cpu list for the socket?

Dad had an old acer Aspire desktop from 2011, 4 gbs of ddr3, intel celeron, not even i3. Got an i7 4790, and got 16 gbs of ddr3. Found little bro playing valorant at 30fps with horrible quality but was running smoothly after optimizations. Spent like 70 bucks totals on the upgrades on that old hardware.

I had the same laptop HP Pro book 650 g1 but the processor is i3 4100m. I only upgraded ram and I got 50 to 60 fps in valorant on HDD , 60 to 70 fps in Minecraft with out playing on lowest settings. and 25 to 30 fps in gta5. i also rendered videos in after effects.

1.8.9 version kinda old, released in december 9, 2015. 8265U with MX130 and 8GB DDR4 RAM give me 20-30FPS even on m.2 SATA ssd

Hey you could have gone to a i7-4712mq and could have gotten tons more performance, and it has integrated graphics as well as 4 cores and 8 threads

I would love to see these optimizations on a decent pc, Limitations spark creativity, limited Creativity without limitations is more powerful than pure creativity

Ggs Edit: also don't use feather client it's bad for FPS

which software you use to record the game in low end pc?

Have you tried using Windows Lite or Linux?

Hey Dan can you show me your Minecraft Settings for best fps

i have good gpu and bad cpu and mc is very lagy i mean i have 1000 fps in 1.8.9 but when i load chanks my fps drop to 0 and idk what to do

i think using mods on fabric like Sodium, Lithium, and Ferritecore would greatly increase the performance without having to put your render distance down so much

How did you get the border around the facecam

hey notro question is it okay can i get that laptop if u dont want it ?

Hey Notrodan, I have a question. Back when you used Pop OS, and I believe Mint, did you ever notice a substantial difference between Windows downloaded vs Linux (pop OS/mint), in terms of performance and stability when playing Minecraft?

is a intel i5-4300M good for minecraft?

notrodan be looking mad handsome recently

T ake out youre wifi card and connect an adapter that make us be able to connect a gpu ... u will also need a psu to also power it

how to run minecraft on a bad computer: 1. make it better

I advise you to use AtlasOS to boost your in-game fps

Why not installing Windows X lite instead Linux ?

You should make a video about minecraft on rectify 11

external GPU?

A good way to get a potato pc to run well is by using Atlas OS

Next add a dedicated graphics card.

Nevermind, but upgrade improves the fps. Without the upgrades main fps visible on this laptop . Also I have 18$ desktop 2gb ram gives total 500fps (highest) 256vram

i have a 2009 0r 2008 dell inspiron laptop which runs minecraft 1.8.9 perfectly when optimized it has 4gb ram and intel i5 and integrated grapics

Notrodan you're my favorite KZfaqr

Bro pls make how to run Minecraft Java edition on core 2 duo, without graphics card, 2gb ram pc

bro that looks exactly like my laptop

why u not using hp probook 4540s

I owned Asus K55V laptop. It had upgrateble CPU.)

i thought when it said "gaming pc" you gonna add external gpu, customize it, or add some weird stuff. im kinda disappoint tho but keep going with your content bro. note : also when you upgrade it, its not all about fps

Ssd does not improve performance. I think it just makes the system more responsive instantly you boot but i used windows on a hdd and it worked fine

If minetest had this kind of support it could run on a decade old android

notro dan pls make a video about fox os its very good and i want your opinion on it

I was surprised when a Pentium 4 2.8ghz of mine averaged 30 fps at 6 chunks in cmpack 1.8.8

me also using a core i7 4th gen cpu in my daily driver with garuda linux lol

how ddo you get that fps when the monitor is 60hz? im curious

Did you know that a 2011 MacBook Pro can play Minecraft full render distance on 1.15 and newer

bro need to swtich from windows to linux (ubuntu) and will get a massive fps increase maybe about a hundred stutter free fps or so

u can try overclocking the cpu but I doubt it's going to give u more fps maybe 2-5 frames more

what happend to the uhc server for cracked players

Omg he fixed my ancient laptop!

You might be able to upgrade the gpu as well, if it is soddered you can still add a better one

But the problem is how much you invested in upgrading on that laptop???? Is it even worth it?????

bro how are you getting 500 frames on 2 cores

Can you test lenovo old laptop pls

wow still better than my laptop i have a Celeron hp pavilion 250 g3

Extra steps: Use 1.19.2(best version for optimization) fabric with sodium + every optimization mod. Then use a Jvm like Java 21 oracle graalvm + Zgc and 12gb(Don't put all the ram, java likes overhead). Use liquid metal instead of thermal paste for better cooling. Extra extra steps: Modify the laptop case to have extra fans Change the battery/power supply to allow faster cpu options . Or just get a desktop at this point

Did you use optifine?
