Can surface pro x sq2 run Minecraft Java and install recent versions of OpenGL ?

Hey guys long time no seen its been along time sense i created this reply and today i just remembered about it and it seems it is growing. DomFriant I don`t know if your still testing Minecraft java on your surface pro x you know to get more info about it plus i was curios to know if the surface pro 8 could run Minecraft java but im sure no one here has a surface pro 8 right ?

Well, I wouldn't say I'm testing it, more that I'll play Minecraft Java on my Pro X if I'm out of town or otherwise away from my PC, since it works well enough for me. Currently running 1.18.2 just fine. Sure, it's not as smooth as my desktop PC, but I'm just thrilled it works. Not being able to run Minecraft Java was one of my few disappointments when I first bought the Pro X, as at the time I was hoping I could get it running via the x86 emulation, which it did not.

And yes, you should be able to run Minecraft Java on a Pro 8 no problem. You shouldn't have to do anything special as the bundled Java is already native for Intel processors, and Intel has had OpenGL support in their GPU drivers for a long time now.

Have you tried playing older versions of the game ? And see how they run.

I ran 1.8.9 with Optifine and have very stable 60 FPS on a single player (render distance 8, about 50% usage CPU and GPU). I used https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/lwjglx to migrate from legacy LWJGL, modified GlStateManager.java to calculate matrices on CPU, changed Tessellator.java to draw using VAO & VBO, implemented glFog on shaders (with https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/NV_fog_distance.txt support). I didn't port legacy glLight and texture matrices (used by enchantment glint and maybe block damage).

wow, great work!

but it seems a lot of work to do.

Do you think that it is possible for you to post your 1.18.1 Arm64 *.json? or is it not allowed here?

thanks

The 1.18.1-aarch64.json is now adiantek's github with the prior two versions:

Thanks for approving the pull request and merging it adiantek!

Yeah, it kind of is, especially if it's not something you do regularly. It's gotten easier now that I've done it a couple times, but I'm not expert. I'm attempting to add it to adiantek's github (see above post), so hopefully he'll see the merge request and it'll be there soon.

I believe it's against forum rules to post direct file downloads from something like OneDrive or Google drive, and since adiantek already has a collection of Minecraft json files I think it makes sense to go this route.
