Why is minecraft so processor-heavy?

Hi folks I wanted to ask why minecraft is processor-heavy and not like most games is calculated by the GPU.

Because the graphics…

It will only be processor-heavy if the settings exceed 50%.

That's because of the structure of the game.

A GPU barely charges - it just provides the pictures for your screen.

Since the blocks consist of meshes and textures (meshes are practically the grid models of the blocks and creatures) and these are generated together with coordinates, this pulls on the CPU. Because these grids are properties of objects in the world.

If there are still shadows, it is a little more.

Generally, however, Minecraft is not very processor heavy. This is always to oppose with the respective processor.

Because it was programmed in Java.

Which processor is needed to play Minecraft in the highest settings.

I have to give a friend a present in front of my old Pc and I want to tune him a bit I do not want to pay too much otherwise I would blow myself in

I do not like Java

There's a lot, what do you have for a motherboard?

GIGABITYTE B350M-DASH

An AMD Bulldozer A8 is enough for that.

Otherwise, a i5 the 6th generation o.Ä.

Processor: Ryzen 31200 Quad Core Processor 3.1 GHZ 4 cores

Graphics card: GIGABYTE 1050Ti

Whether i9, i8 or i7 is hardly relevant.

Important is the generation.

Sorry I've confused the grade with another mainboard AMD

I8 does not exist.

But with my i5 6600K @ 4.2 GHz, I come to 700-800 FPS without Optifine or similar

Was also a joke on the edge.
Should only point a little further to the generation.

That's enough for Minecraft!

I would cry anyway if someone buys a real gaming PC for Minecraft.

You do not need anything expensive. 600 euro are already enough for a new system, which has no problems with Minecraft (you could go even further down a reasonable SSD is mandatory).

No, not really
