Linux Minecraft only recognizes OnBoard graphics card?

I have rebuilt my computer with Linux Mint 19.2, because I wanted to test how well you can gamble with Linux. So I just installed Minecraft and noticed that my Nvidia graphics card is not selected, but my Intel OnBoard graphics card. I have no idea how to fix it.

Did you also install the Nvidia drivers?

Ch

Yes, I went to the driver management and installed the nvidia-driver-430.

Is your monitor connected to the NVIDIA graphics card?

Is this a laptop?

Ch

I have a laptop, unfortunately I do not know what belongs to the video card of Nvidia. But I can connect a monitor.

Nene, alright… The graphics chip will automatically switch from INTEL iGPU to NVIDIA GPU if it is necessary (ie if power is requested).

Yes, he has a laptop

For that you need something like that: https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee

I have not set it up yet.

Alternatively, you may be able to set in the BIOS that always the Nvidia card is used. This of course reduces the battery life.
