Is an i7-960 and 8 GB of RAM enough for Minecraft Java?

I buy the Minecraft (Java Edition) days and saw in the system requirements that 8 GB of RAM etc. Is recommended. I thought Minecraft didn't need that much…

Then I also heard that Minecraft is very CPU-intensive, which I can understand.

To my real question:

As you can see from the title, I have an old i7-960 (Intel data sheet: https://ark.intel.com/...-qpi.html). Is this enough for Minecraft to play around 12-18 chunks?

That should be enough if there's also a sufficient graphics unit available.

Clear! Minecraft is a lean game.

Graphics is an RX 580. That's not the problem I think.

Thank you! ^^

The game will definitely be on. You don't need to worry about that

It even ran on an old i3 with 4GB RAM. As long as you don't use mods or even optifine - no issue at all.

You can also put in easy 50 - 100 mods (have the same hardware)

works with intel graphics btw

Say that when you look at the craft attack 7 map! XD
