How do I get Minecraft to run on a low end PC?

[Apollo]

Trying to get Minecraft Java Edition to run on:

Intel i5 2500s
Intel HD 2000
16gb Ram (dont ask me why my stepdad wanted that much)

If you're technical enough you should grab Optifine (https://optifine.net/home). The site looks old and potentially dodgy but as far as I know it's perfectly safe. For more information on it you might want to check Reddit/YouTube for installation instructions etc.

That will give you a lot more graphic options to play around with and you'll want to be bringing things down in quality until you're getting stable frames. Minecraft never runs great on built-in graphics but I would hope that the decent amount of RAM you're rocking there it might help a bit.

Thanks man, I'll try that out.

Fletch makes a good suggestion with Optifine. You might also like this video by the Low Spec Gamer (a fantastic channel to watch if you want to run games on low-end hardware).

I do watch a lot of LowSpec (for obvious reasons) just never knew he had a video on Minecraft

Hope you find this useful. My pc used to lag then I used this method and it worked

I think the only way to improve performance is by lowering the resolution, decreasing render distance, maybe installing a lightweight resource pack.
