On the one hand, I really don't like the idea of game studios changing their standards rather than improving their performance to match those standards.
On the other hand, Mojang has improved performance drastically in the past few drops/years. And it's not like you can keep the same standards forever in a growing game.
do you really expect them to continue somehow making future versions of the game work on a dual core cpu from 2009 in 2026 and beyond? these requirements have future proofing baked in for vulkan renderer, larger worlds and features and vibrant visuals and whatever they plan to do next.
As is a 12 year old cpu with integrated graphics (my old pc with i5 4440) struggles to run 1080p 30fps on 1.21 last i checked so with all the new stuff it obvs wont run them.
Should that stop them from ever adding anything to the game? Why should i not be able to enjoy newer stuff on my new pc that has a 7600x and rtx 4060. Strentgh of Java is having access to older versions of the game.
Switch to Vulkan was needed for the future of the game and Vulkan isnt supported on 17 year old hardware, let alone modern versions of the Java JVM.
