Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and originally released in 2009. The game was created by Markus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before being fully released in November 2011, with Notch stepping down and Jens "Jeb" Bergensten taking over development.

Minecraft has become the best-selling video game in history, with over 300 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active players as of 2023. It has been ported to several platforms. The PlayStation 3 Edition sold one million copies in five weeks. The release of the game's PlayStation Vita version boosted Minecraft sales by 79%, outselling both PS3 and PS4 debut releases and becoming the largest Minecraft launch on a PlayStation console.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

GPU configuration

Setting	Option	Notes
Framelimit	Off	Makes the game run above 60 FPS without increasing game speed. Versions below 1.84 have jittery input above ~90 FPS.

Known Issues

Split-screen Crash

When attempting to create/join a world or minigame lobby via Split-screen, the game will crash. To prevent this, disconnect other player's controllers and load into the world. Afterwards, connect the other controllers. Must be done for every world/lobby you join.

Special Notes

Menus Tied to Framerate

Menus in this game are tied to the framerate. If the framerate is above or below 60FPS, certain menu elements like the Change Skin menu and the Interface cursor will be affected.

Note about MacOS

If you're on MacOS don't update the game past 1.00. The game will freeze on the menu screen when trying to start a new game if updated.
