People have shared tips on handling big mod packs. Focus on boosting CPU speed or adding more RAM can help. A faster processor or more memory usually speeds up loading more than a bigger CPU alone. Adding extra RAM might make a noticeable difference, especially if you have limited space. Upgrading to a newer CPU model or using an SSD could also improve performance. It depends on your current setup and how much memory you have available.
In modded Minecraft using Java, increasing RAM allocation can lead to problems. Stick to 8GB or the recommended amount by the developer. Upgrading the CPU helps since Minecraft is CPU-intensive, especially with mods active. Otherwise, boosting specs won’t significantly speed up loading times. If you can, let me know which modpack they’re using and if they have a graphics card.
Open Task Manager and identify which component is experiencing maximum usage or operating under heavy load during game startup.
Longer load times for big modpacks are typical, yet ten minutes is too long. I experienced a significant slowdown when playing ATM8 once, but only a few minutes passed. Clearly, loading speeds depend on your computer's specifications, but ten minutes shouldn't be acceptable.
She uses a GTX1060 with about 3GB of RAM. I didn’t note the specs because I assumed it wouldn’t impact loading times much, and the game runs smoothly at 1440p after loading. I’ll find out which mod pack it belongs to and test it on my 12100F to see the effect. It seems the main benefit might come from faster CPU performance and possibly improved storage speed, though I’m pretty sure she already has an NVMe drive.
The modpack you mentioned runs quickly—just over five minutes. On my i3 12100f it took about three and a half minutes. The CPU usage was around 50%, though only half the cores were actually active, likely due to hyperthreading. I’m confident the performance is mainly from the CPU. The Ryzen 7000 seems like a solid choice now.
