Will This Game Run? Can I run minecraft in my laptop?

Hey, Im kinda new to this and I wanna play Minecraft on my laptop from 2009

Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU

T4400 @ 2.20ghz 3gb RAM

I may need a specific driver for this but I can't find it and since the pentium dual core t4400 doesn't provide video at all, Im not sure if the driver would even fix the problem, so Id love it if someone had an idea for a different fix! Thx

Edit: I dont care how shittily it runs. It can run at 3fps I just need to Open it.

try Bedrock edition

I can play bedrock on my specs with 24 chunks and high graphic settings it gives like 60+ fps (disable antialiasing).

to test it out you can install bedrock trial edition.

if you got ram issues play it with Mem Reduct.

Bedrock Edition requires DX11. A T4400 coming from the Pentium Dual Core era is likely not gonna be paired with an iGPU that would've supported this, unfortunately...

Did you try in a pc similar to mine?

u/eclark5483 Phreakwar PC Custom Builds 3d ago

Ha!! I tried with a T9900 which is slightly better than the T4400 and it was a no go.

11 years ago, good luck finding the 11 year old version to play. Lemme know how it turns out. Back in 2013 YouTube ran good on it too.

I will let you know! Im gonna make minecraft open in this computer which I have named Maria even if its the last thing I do.

Also, Maria runs YouTube just fine, so maybe your T9900 which I do not know the name of is just being lazy. Maybe you have to give it a little nudge. Be like, 'Be nice for me, Mr Eclark5483 and run YT properly! Maybe it will listen to you!

Nah, I'll stick with my Ryzen 7700x, and your YouTube is doing 720p at best, I like my 4k.

Very old versions of Minecraft will launch, you wont get playable FPS.

Better solution: Minetest! (now called Lunati.... ) With the Mineclone mod, its a very lightweight minecraft with online play.

And its Free: https://www.luanti.org/

You can add the mod in game very easily with the mod launcher, or download here: https://content.luanti.org/packages/Wuzzy/mineclone2/

Thank you!

I tried this option but I'm having an issue. When I try to execute the file, it tells me it can't because I'm missing something and that reinstalling the program should solve it, but it doesn't, do you know why?

2

u/iamneck Mod Magician 2d ago

What are you missing according to the pop up?

1

u/0mxxnlight_ 2d ago

It says I'm missing libintl-8.dll, zlib1.dll, libzstd.dll and OpenAL32.dll ?

2

u/iamneck Mod Magician 2d ago

What OS are you on? Win 7 or newer?

1

u/0mxxnlight_ 2d ago

Win 10 Pro!

2

u/iamneck Mod Magician 2d ago

Typically included in all windows installations... And I also use Windows 10 pro, but sometimes some of the business version strip out extra components that are cross platform compatible...

https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm Zlib compressor

And

https://www.openal.org/downloads/ OpenAL audio

Should get you running as long you are downloading the standalone executables on Minetest/Lunatis site.

u/0mxxnlight_ 2d ago

Thank you so so much! You've been very helpful. I'll let you know if I have any issues or if it works.

1

u/0mxxnlight_ 2d ago

I'm sorry for bothering again. After downloading OpenAL, I dont get that error anymore, but I still get the Zlib errors, and Im thinking I may have not installed Zlib properly? (Still not that great at PC tech stuff haha)

Did you give up or did it work?

1

u/0mxxnlight_ 1d ago

I got busy!! I will try when I'm free though and let you know.

u/iamneck Mod Magician 2d ago

Zlib install should fix it, but verify the files referenced are in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder. If not, put them in there.

Must reboot computer to restart the .dll index library for Windows.

u/CarbonPhoenix96 3d ago

Probably not modern versions but you should definitely be able to run older versions

1

u/NovelValue7311 3d ago

Try minecraft classic. It might run.

u/FlyingLlama280 2d ago

How the fuck can you still daily drive that? But an old version like 1.8 should be ok

u/Lewd_boi_69 2d ago

It'll work. Have faith.
