What version of Minecraft am I supposed to use?
My computer features
Processor : intel pentium [email protected]
RAM : 4gb
Graphic card : Intel G33/G31 express chipset with openGL 2.1
Before the 1.17 update I could play Minecraft, but now it displays
GLFW Error. Also with TLauncher I attempted to play older versions but had no success. The same error persists. I also tried MESA, but it didn’t work. Although I couldn’t fully install Mesa, I have a workaround—please guide me on installing MESA properly or suggest other solutions to play Minecraft.
According to the essential system specifications for Minecraft version 1.17, a GPU supporting OpenGL 4.4 is required. In practice, the GMA3100 integrated graphics in the G31 or G33 chipset only provide drivers for OpenGL 2.1 on Linux, and for Windows it supports only OpenGL 1.4. Minecraft 1.17 also eliminated all fixed-function rendering, switching to shader-based rendering that operates in a minimum OpenGL 3.2 environment.
