I need to reinstall it because of the thread link you shared. Why is it taking so much space—5.6GB for something so simple?

It's surprising how compact they all are. Witcher 3 took around 30GB, Skyrim nearly 12GB, and GTA V was over 50GB. Five or six gigabytes isn't that much. All those details, settings, anti-cheat features—all packed into one file.

5.6 GB pales in comparison to larger titles.

It's actually quite manageable. I'm not sure what you're worried about. The size will keep increasing when you download demos or use community maps.

It's quite small compared to most other titles.

Audio effects, surfaces and shapes can only be reduced so far before they appear or sound bad like feces. 5.6 GB is within an acceptable range.

It's been a while since 5.6gb became standard. It used to be considered small back then.

That's not all. My Minecraft texture pack folder is larger than expected.

It's 18.6GB once I downloaded the server maps.

Back in 2003, 2 GB was indeed a typical storage size.
