Can My Sisters Trash Laptop Run Minecraft?

@Guiny may have run Minecraft on a $1 laptop but how far can we push a FREE laptop? Shaders anyone?!
But srs. I'm a huge fan Guiny! Keep crushing those videos and game on lad lol

Hi guiny

​​​@@zacharystaines If the laptop hard drive is running at 100% it means the hard disc is dying upgrade to an ssd to get more frames (tip) try minecraft bedrock edition to get more frames!

[@Theunicorn2012]

this was such a good video!!

[@aidonny]

Ah this reminds me of the good old days of 2020 when all I had was an HP stream with 4 gigs of ram and a Celeron and I managed to play java on it. Oh how I love 15 fps...

[@zacharystaines]

Hot dang! Why does 15 fps feel so nostalgic haha? Like a stop motion movie.=

[@patrickst_ar]

i used to have an hp stream too in 2020, then i got a lenovo ideapad and having a ryzen 3 3250u despite being an igpu and a bit low end felt MUCH better in everything (including minecraft) than the hp stream, now i have an acer nitro 5 with 8gb of ram, i5 11400h and gtx 1650 and minecraft runs like a dream

[@aidonny]

Nice to hear. I too got an upgrade and minecraft runs well too!@@patrickst_ar

Great video man! Your content never disappoints. I do have a few tips to improve upon what you have done in this video. If you want the absolute most frames possible you should install the simply optimized mod pack. It essentially has the same optimizations as lunar client, minus the extra features. To install this I use the MultiMC launcher. I can get about 200 Fps with a slightly higher render distance than the one you used!

[@basicllyagamer]

What shaders did you use, and could the run-on forge, or do you need optifine, or is it a texture pack?

Great video bro👍

[@mostafa123game]

U could use sodium/ other fabric mods to get incredible performance otherwise great video!

[@catvmfwd-nn8zk]

On these kinds of pcs, the GPU is the bottleneck, and since sodium mostly uses the GPU for its performance boost, optifine is better in this case

the reason why it didnt work with complementary shaders was cuz of the igpu not supporting the opengl version needed to run it i believe

The 100% Disk means that the hard drive of the laptop is at 100% usage that means it's being overloaded with data loading from it. Upgrade to an SSD and you got a very decent pc

Honestly if you upgrade some of the parts it may run alot smoother. I have a dell optiplex from 2014 that ive upgraded with 16gb of ram. 960gb ssd. And while not possible on any laptop models. Even put a gt1030 in for good measure. And its pretty solid for a good retro pc. And yes. It runs minecraft. Very well. Both bedrock and java.

The opengl error may have been due to hardware. I don't know what shader you used, but it may have used an opengl version newer than what the iGPU supports.
