Not in a million years would I expect for this to work, and yet somehow, it does. Quite decently, in fact.
Obviously I'm using a VM but I'm a bit curious to see how physical hardware would run it.

81 frames, thats somewhat impressive
This is quite impressive ngl, I feel like experimenting with old OSs in VMs now lol
so when is "Raspberry PI can run Minecraft 1.16.5" coming out?
What are the specs?
@Madea#16103 The VM is using a single core from my 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X. It uses 1.5 GB of RAM. It has VMware Guest Additions installed just to keep the experience smooth.
I'm not that surprised that it still works. I'm pretty sure Java 8 has always had XP support to some degree
I get like an average of 20 fps how tf do you have 81?!??
@videogamesm12#16099 of course xp can run it if vista can also run it. I ran mc 1.16.5 on vista. They both use the old launcher and old java
the problem is that soon when they will cut mojang accounts, the old launcher will be dropped, and with that, rip XP and Vista
Yeah Java is fairly resilient, Java 8 runs on some fairly old operating systems as well due to industry that depends on it.
If it were most other modern games I'd be slightly more surprised.
It is easy to forget that Windows XP was still supported when Java 8 came out. It is likely that it will continue working in the future as well, at least in modpack launchers, since old modpacks don't like newer Java versions.
