## Hardware Requirements
| Type | Minimum | Recommended |
|------|---------|-------------|
|CPU*|E3-1230V2/i5-8250U  |R5-5600G or better  |
|Allocated Ram**|4GiB|>=8GiB|
|GPU|Intel UHD Graphics|Radeon Vega 8 / GTX750Ti or better|
|Spare disk space***|2GiB|20GiB,SSD|

*Some mechanic in mods(like BuildCraft pipes) causes heavy single-thread load on the render thread, lowering framerate. This is worse when using shaders with shadows.  
**Allocating 2GiB RAM also launches, but will have a huge impact on performance.  
***Saves and auto-backups may take up more space.

## 硬件需求
| Type | Minimum | Recommended |
|------|---------|-------------|
|CPU*|E3-1230V2/i5-8250U  |R5-5600G 或更好  |
|内存分配**|4GiB|>=8GiB|
|显卡|Intel UHD Graphics|Radeon Vega 8 / GTX750Ti 或更好|
|磁盘剩余空间***|2GiB|20GiB,SSD|

*部分模组机制(如BuildCraft的管道)会在渲染线程造成很高的CPU单核负载, 影响帧率. 这在使用带阴影的光影时影响更为明显.  
**分配2GiB内存也可启动,但严重影响性能  
***存档及自动备份可能占用更多空间
