💻 System Requirements (Realistic & Accurate)

🔸 Minimum (Playable Without Shaders, ~60 FPS @ 8–10 Chunks)

CPU: Intel i5-9400 / Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: GTX 1650 / RX 570

RAM: 6 GB allocated (12 GB system minimum)

Display: 1080p

Notes:

Playable without shaders

3D packs and foliage like JS Leaves+ will still drop FPS in dense forests

FreeCam or higher render distances will struggle on integrated graphicS

🔹 Recommended (With Shaders + 3D Packs @ 60–90 FPS)

CPU: Intel i5-12400F / Ryzen 5 5600

GPU: RTX 3060 / RX 6700 XT (8–12 GB VRAM recommended)

RAM: 8 GB allocated (16 GB total)

Display: 1080p–1440p

Notes:

This will run Complementary Unbound well with moderate volumetrics and motion blur

JS Leaves+, Blue’s Monsters, and Undopia packs still require chunk loading throttling

Avoid “Extreme” shader presets unless capping FPS or using frame limiters

🔥 Ultra Setup (RTX 4060+)

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel i7-12700 or higher

GPU: RTX 4060 or better

RAM: 10–12 GB allocated (32 GB system ideal for multitasking or recording)

FPS Estimate: 100–130 FPS @ 10 chunks w/ full shader features (volumetrics, reflections, animations)

💡 Optimization Tips

Use Fast Leaves in Complementary settings

Drop Shadow Quality and Volumetric Light Resolution to medium

Turn off Cave Shadows and Ambient Motion Blur

Use Entity Culling aggressively (already included)
