can minecraft run on windows xp
yes it will run on 32-bit, but there are heavy restrictions on what you can do with it. Draw distance will need to be kept on normal or lower, and you won't be able to install large mods, HD texture packs, or a large number of mods without it crashing on you.
I'm wondering what version of OpenGL is best for Minecraft. Currently, I'm running Windows XP (2G RAM), OpenGL 2.1, JRE 5 (and Minecraft 1.2.5, haven't downloaded the latest yet). Minecraft runs well (although I have Render Distance set to Normal, or it's too slow). Would it be worth the hassle, of upgrading/installing the latest OpenGL (4.2)? XP doesn't support UEFI boots and doesn't support booting from an USB device. There are several, very invasive, modifications necessary to an existing XP install (on a regular hard-drive) after which you can copy the XP install to an USB drive. Even then it is not guaranteed to work with you Most of these cpus are overkill for all but the newest xp games. I'm running a freaking Pentium D and there are very few games from the era I can't hit 60fps on (seems to be the poorly optimized ones like Redguard). Core2 Dells are cheap as hell to get now from govt/school surplus auctions and would barely break a sweat on xp-era software.Steam in 2020. Even though Steam has ended support on Windows XP/Vista on January 1st, 2019. The November 26, 2018 build is archived to allow Steam to work. Does anyone still use it. Have you been able to get two factor authentication to work??Get VmWare 1.16, then a 32-bit windows XP install with SP3. Get java 7 revision 5. Find a old version of the launcher and a version of MC (Max being 1.9) Sign in. Once in change mouse sensitivity to 22% as anything higher makes the mouse go crazy. No servers, from what i can tell. Click on .minecraft and it's all there! If you don't want to type anything go to 'My Computer', click on: C drive, Users, user, Appdata (it's a hidden file, so you'll have to have hidden files on), Roaming, .minecraft, and you're there!Windows XP, click start and then Run, type %appdata% and click on .minecraft.
