Can Windows XP Run Minecraft 1 21?

[@lucien-rowan3685]

The audio mess isn't that big of a deal for me - the audio quality I deliver is prone to be at least as bad as what you have in that portion you mentioned. Getting Minecraft 1.12 running on Windows XP... yeah, but I saw you haven't attempted anything between 1.12 and 1.19. If you don't want to test that out, I could try to make a video about Minecraft on Windows XP myself, but unfortunately, I'm currently suffering from a slight RAM downgrade compared to my old computer (yes, I've recently switched from something with 12 GB DDR3 RAM to something with 8 GB DDR4 RAM, but the CPU of the new one is better), which shouldn't affect how much RAM I would assign to XP anyway (My default was 3 GB for 32-bit and 4 GB for 64-bit on my old computer).

When I first played Minecraft in 2010 I was actually using Windows XP and running it on a GTX 260, crazy how it's changed so much that you couldn't even conceive using that setup anymore

[@TheBcoolGuy]

I was playing it from late 2010 or the very start of 2011 and Beta, and until late in 2011, when I got my first computer, I was playing on school and library computers. Pentium 4s with Windows XP and likely not more than a gig of RAM.

[@pacomatic9833]

Well, they saw PCs were getting better and decided to break compatibility to use the extra resources. And hey, at least in terms of breaking old OSes, I get it! How many people play on WIndows XP because that's genuinely their best option? For me the oldest I've seen is someone win Windows 7. But when it comes to needing more RAM and a better CPU, I can no longer forgive it. After all, mods have been able to optimize so many tiny things, and combining all these optimizations give us *huge* gains. So if Mojang optimized better then it could at least work on older PCs.

MultiMC is what Prism Launcher is originally based of off, but MultiMC still supports 32bit and is based on older version of QT and in theory should support everything up from Windows 2000, so with the Extended Kernel it should be working.

to be honest on my (pretty old, i5-3570k, novideo 660ti) pc, running linux, 1.21 runs way better than 1.12 or even 1.8 but then again my even older pc(core duo, intel gma 950), (also linux) it would run 1.16 at ~40-50fps, 1.12 at ~50-60fps, and 1.17 at ~5fps, because of having to render in cpu ig for modernish systems it's better optimalized, whereas for old systems not

[@MrPlazma]

I understand that it wont run well on older PCs but if you have at least a 6 core cpu, and 16 gigs of ram, 1.21 runs smoothly. Im not here to argue, its just what my benchmarks show. If you prefer 1.12 thats okay, its a great version.

Some info: Minecraft until 1.16 requires Java 8, 1.17 requires Java 16, 1.18-1.20.6 requires Java 17, and 1.21+ requires Java 21. Minecraft 1.13 made the switch from using LWJGL 2 to using LWJGL 3, which updated a lot of the system libraries the game uses. This is probably why 1.12 worked for you. I think the reason why modern versions crash might not actually be OpenGL, since you need OpenGL to start Minecraft at all, but rather because of the mouse capture. I don't think there's anything else that would require interfacing with the kernel, and it seems like you got exactly to the point where the game would capture the mouse. Since LWJGL2 probably uses a much older version of GLFW (the windowing library, it would handle mouse capture), that's why 1.12 worked fine (-ish, the weird mouse movement is just because of it being in a VM). Also you should have tried 1.16.5 because afaik it only requires OpenGL 2.1 whereas 1.17 switched to OpenGL 3.2. Though since you got 1.21 to launch this probably isn't it.

[@DsiPro1000]

There are mods for 1.17+ that change the OpenGL version back to 2.1 and it apparently works ok

[@NTD59]

1.16.5 is the last version that officially supports XP. Probably requires a compatible graphics card, which I had a GT 730 and worked just fine.

[@namelessjade]

Hey, skip here I tried doing the same thing, the newest version you can run with OneCore is 1.17. To make it join worlds and servers you need to pass an argument to force it to use IPv4, otherwise it never gets past 100% and multiplayer connections fail. 1.18 and newer have some internal change that prevents them from working, because older versions work fine on the newest java versions. There are mods to make the new versions use OpenGL 2, but I couldn't get that to work in VMware so I had to use software rendering as well. There is also a mod called Not So New which forces new versions to run on Java 8, and someone managed to get it to work. I was too tired to try it though. Nice vid, it was fun to see someone else take a crack at it!

[@anniyke9032]

aw man, the titan launcher gave me so much nostalgia. I used to use that launcher all the time and the og titanmc server was so fun. i miss the old days of minecraft.

@@ThEspectrum20 java is a programming language, it's not like a side app or something that you need to play pojav or minecraft in general, it's also the reason why minecraft now has 2 separate versions, the original one a.k.a "Java version" and the newer one "Bedrock Version". the creator, notch decided to create minecraft with the java programming language, it's pretty old for nowadays, hence why it's a bit struggle to install Minecraft's "java version" compared to the "Bedrock version".

I didn't have an attempt to run 1.21 on XP, but I found an interesting behavior where 32-bit distributions of Java don't like being given too much memory (a bit more than 1GB) for some reason, which might explain the crash right before entering the game. With several memory optimization mods (FerriteCore, ModernFix...) I could get into the game on 32-bit Java, of course with moderate memory alloc (~400MB). Hope this helps.

There is another way you can run more than 4 GB of RAM under Windows XP. It's called PAE.

In 2014 my mother had an old windows XP laptop I used to play the minecraft demo on. So it definitely used to be possible! LMAOO

my mom wouldn't let me download any game but it was the pc that my dad showed me plant vs zombies on

[@xesterreal]

The problem with the mouse happens because you're in a VM. Minecraft tries to center the mouse on the screen each frame, but the VM doesn't allow it to do that. In the next frame Minecraft checks how far the mouse is from the center, and it gets confused because the mouse never got reset to the center, so it assumes you just moved your mouse really fast between frames. This confusion causes the game to make your character turn very quickly and uncontrollably.

Dude, I run Minecraft with mods relatively well (30 fps) on Windows 7 32 bits with Celeron and Geforce GT 1400 and I'm very happy.

[@plushrei5926]

As a fellow win 7 user I feel you. Why 32bit thought

the virtual machine in question:

[@chlorobyte]

funny thing is, that configuration is literally not even possible - the smallest DDR5 sticks are 8GB

[@YannBOYERDev]

​@@chlorobyte It's a Virtual Machine, he didn't give all the RAM he has to the VM, he only gave a small amount to it.

[@YannBOYERDev]

I would love for him to test this on a real Windows XP machine, virtual machine is a bit of cheating...

[@StardogGGs]

@@YannBOYERDev i agree

[@Cactly]

Watching someone troubleshoot in windows XP is surprisingly entertaining

[@stanzacosmi]

The funny thing is you called it Windows XP 64 bit edition, but you're on x64 edition. 64-bit edition was for an entirely different architecture, the Itanium architecture. Its stupid, I know, but there is a difference. x64 is the x86 architecture with 64 bit additions, whereas the itanium was a true 64 bit processor that failed.

[@stanzacosmi]

20:47 That's because prism launcher is a fork of polyMC by the entirety of the dev team minus the leader of that project, which was a fork of MultiMC

it's mind-blowing to me that there's actually a plugin that allows people with old versions to join a new server

Thank you i couldn't ever play minecraft because of my windows xp operation system. Now i can play minecraft.

Just buy a new pc or upgrade to Windows 7 lol

I remember having my first computer, a Windows XP one. When I tried to run 1.2, my monitor went black, and soon after got a mix of bright colors on it. Looking back, it was definetely the graphics card.

[@sylv256]

This video is so frustrating, because you never seem to realize that 1.21 requires Java 21

[@ct3000]

When I was a kid I actually first played minecraft on Windows XP starting at 1.2.5 and I remember the hard cutoff for Open GL support was 1.16 the horse update.

[@KMatuszak]

Why did you try to run Minecraft without acceleration for the entire video, then enable it and were surprised that 1.12 works? 1.21 might as well work with that enabled. Pointless video.

[@Yamaha01.]

This video is very enjoyable both to listen and watch. Good quality mic! background music, very cool!

[@voicelessscooby]

I remember playing on my friend's realm on a windows XP before I was able to upgrade, weirdly enough 1.12 was about the last version that worked for me too. After that it would either crash at launch or shortly after making it to the "Mojang" screen

[@hisuii]

36:21 I am AMAZED that Minecraft is able to invoke Microsoft Sam to use as the narrator voice

[@killham1337]

This is similar to what running any game was like when I was a kid, except we didn't have the internet

The error sound effect for Windows XP is the funniest shit ever. Gotta take a shot every time that happens.

Launcherfenix is a windowsxp compatible launcher, is even compatible with ubuntu java sdk, its been made to be the most compatible launcher, if you can install java 5 or above you can use it, doesn't use windows dlls or anything only java
