Minecraft and graphics card

Minecraft and graphics card - Laptop with photo camera accessories on white background

I got the open-GL thing because my graphics card is up to date. There is no new update out for it. I have a Nevada card, windows 10 system. I did try to reinstall minecraft but it made no difference. Is there like a version that is the same but does not use this open-GL thing?



Best Answer

As far as I know Minecraft is based on OpenGL-rendering, that's why it runs on all OSes supporting Java. Windows 10 has problems with OpenGL-rendering for what reason when the latest Java version is used. This happened to me too after upgrading to Windows 10.

I can play Minecraft without any problems with Java 8 Update 45. Uninstall Java and install this (32-bit) version, but using outdated Java versions comes with lacks of security.

It seems like newer Java versions cause these problems.
