GNU/Linux and macOS compatibility are less universal due to low market share and arcane driver restrictions respectively. However, in modern Minecraft versions you do not need to change your allocated RAM amount to accomodate this.Īs for the operating system, most if not all packs are compatible with Windows. Beware of this if you wish to run high resolution resource packs - 32GB will be required for the highest end configurations, along with around 10GB of VRAM. However, they can take advantage of advanced resource pack features (called PBR materials) which can approximately triple your RAM usage. Shaderpacks themselves have little effect on RAM. The Shaderpacks page lists a rough performance category for each pack, ranging from Potato (which should run even on integrated GPUs several generations old) to Extreme (which require a beefy high end GPU to even be playable at 1080p). Due to the sheer variety of available shaderpacks there is no single system requirement. Any relatively modern CPU will be able to handle these, though for less powerful CPUs like those on laptops, lowering render distance may be required for playable framerates.Īll other effects in shaderpacks scale on the GPU. Shaderpacks have no impact on the CPU, aside from one effect: dynamic shadowmapping, which require the world to be rendered twice.
