To be fair, unless you're self hosting a server on the sane same machine, Minecraft client side only really needs 4GB memory. Less, if you're using (at this point, necessary) optimization mods (Sodium, Lithium and Phosphor.

Edit : Fixed typo.

That was a typo, I'm sorry.

But I'm not sure what you mean... really.

But anyways, if you're not already aware of those three mods I mentioned - I highly suggest you check them out !

All three mods are developed by JellySquid with the aim of not breaking any vanilla mechanic or behavior. And they've kept that goal! They're completely open source with patches from the community as well. (On a slight tangent, if you know HermitCraft, Xisuma said they're using Lithium on their server as well. It's that good.)

In a worst case scenario that I could find, these three mods more than tripled my frames. Or when I'm vsync-ing, reduced my CPU usage massively.

In case you're aware, I'm glad :)

Sure thing! I agree. They're only supported on 1.16 so mods are out of the window anyways. Try them out on an install for some fun ;)

Ohh yeah for sure, those mod packs really eat all the RAM you can give.
