Intel CPU for modded minecraft

[superjuul99]

Hi there,

 

I'm not unfamiliar with PC's but i don't know what to choose for my CPU in my next build since i want to play modded minecraft.

not the normal ones but the ones with over 200 mods without any optimization. I choose for the i5 4690k this moment but, if that's not enough to run the modpacks i am willing to change.

if you're planning on using any shader mods, you're going to need a decent GPU.

i'm not planning on using any shader mods but i will use a 128x texture packs with all the mod textures. The question i'm asking is if this cpu will be able to run the modpacks i'm aiming for.

You won't necesserly need a 4690K unless your overclocking but maybe a i5-4460/4570 might be a better option.

[superjuul99]

i'm keeping the 4690k just to keep the option open. this way i can improve the performace if i need to in future.

thank you for your help btw it's my first time using a forum and i am already starting to like it

as a guy that is all into modded minecraft i can tell you all that matters is performance per core. you *may* need a second core in *some* occasions. i3 is an edge case, but pretty much any i5 can run as many mods as you want.

 

my girlfriend currently has the 4690k with a slight OC on it, and her modded mc runs like a dream.

yup, my I5-3570K runs any of the modded minecraft just fine. youll be golden and not have to worry.

4690k and fx8350 should both run heavily modded MC.

 

Youll need atleast a reasonable GPU to run the 128x128 textures, something like the 260x or 960

i will add a gtx 970 to the build later once i got more money so i run on intel hd graphics the first month in which i won't be expecting to be gaming. so i think this won't be any problems

[SteveGrabowski]

For Minecraft if you're only using two cores an i5 seems like a waste of money. Why not an i3-4160? That has pretty strong per core performance, being clocked at 3.6GHz. Of course an i5 or better is a must if you're planning on playing anything else with a GTX 970.

If you are just adding texture mods; a Pentium G3258 will get you over 60fps easily.

 

Remember to set aside enough ram for your igpu.

Hes adding more than texture mods, i have the 3258 in my server and it cannot handle modded minecraft even with a 780. The 4690k will provide a nice experiance.

kind of unrelated, could you tell me or point me somewhere for a step by step guide on how to make a minecraft server? software side I mean

Assuming u have windows go to minecraft.net and get the minecraft server .jar

 

run it and close it, agree to the EULA file it made then run it again, then stop it with "stop"

then put all the files it made in one folder.

Port forward port 25565 on ur router

open server.properties file in notepad and put the ip as your computers ip address (u can find this out in cmd prompt with "ipconfig")

if the server will be running constantly i suggest making the computer have a static ip otherwise your ready to go

 

go to ipchicken.com and find ur external ip (give this to ur friends )
