Minecraft does now come with a built in version of Java which could have compatibility issues but it can be forced to use a different version if it does.
Part of the reason it runs so slow is because you don't have a virtual GPU installed in the VM, so it's using the default VGA, which can't do 3D. If you make the VM run at a low resolution (800x600, maybe 1024x768), enable 3D graphics acceleration on your VM, and fullscreen Minecraft at 320x240 or 640x480, it can run much better.

I actually tried something like this back in the day. I was like 12 at the time and didn’t understand PC specs so I just tried running Minecraft on our dinosaur of a desktop after purchasing the game. Couldn’t even get past the main menu as all the text looked like it was converted to 4 bit textures.
I’m on a massive nostalgia trip and building the ultimate retro early 2000’s setup. I think it’s easier to try and shoehorn Windows 7 on my system than to hack 98 to pieces.
Just so yall know, the performance is only this terrible because it's running in a virtual machine within windows 10. If it was on native hardware it would likely still be bad, but MUCH better. EDIT: Windows 7 not 10, that part hardly makes a difference and wasn't the point of my comment.
"There's an error built in for this". You'd be surprised of how much error messages programs are programmed to have. For example mspaint has an message if you're running low on memory, or there's an error mesage for Windows Explorer that there is no room to show all items in system tray if your resolution is too small or have too many programs installed (not sure if it shows up anymore in Windows, but the resource is still there).

I can't imagine how spoiled you have to be in order to even think that 60, 50, 40 and 30 fps is not playable. Bruh, 25 fps is the lowest framerate for comfortable gameplay for me, and stable 30 fps is great. Everything over that is just a nice addition to the experience, but it's not important.
This was run in a virtual machine with no video acceleration so it had to run in basically software mode, had it been done on original hardware it would have had a much higher chance of success I believe.

@@Grayforz You'd need an equally ancient machine to do video card pass through to even have drivers that'd work in Windows 98, it'd be easier to just run it on a real Windows 98 machine.
Original hardware? So you mean a pentium 2 with MAYBE a geforce 256 or something like that. Maybe I should try when I get my Windows 98 PC setup and running (Pentium Pro 200MHz, 32mb ram... need to upgrade to max 128Mb, and a Radeon 7000
This is true, in fact you need to install 3rd party drivers for your screen because VirtualBox's guest addons don't work on Windows 9X. VMWare is a little more optimized than VirtualBox for Windows 98 but if you can get a real machine, it would be 100% better indeed
The latest Windows 98 can run, with driver modifications, is on 2007-era parts at the most. And that “few bucks” really will turn out to $75 lucky case if he finds a pre-built, if of course it’d work with minimal lag in a playable state on such new version which I feel confidently it won’t. Maybe if he tried out OptiFine, it’ll work in his favor? Rudolph Loew’s patches will have to be used either way, the most notable no matter which way you do it is “PATCHMEM” which’ll allow for up to 3GB of usable RAM. If he does want to go through this route, I have assembled a list months ago of possible hardware and patches that’ll allow for the highest-end Windows 98 machine. notepad.pw/share/5mq24hp8l He should instead try VMware, and experiment with its settings so a good chunk of his newer hardware can be used within the Windows 98 environment.

I don't think that joke would work with minecraft, since this is actually minecraft, just kinda with a jank launching system. it would probably work with "modern windows" as the subject.
Is that a challenge? It's possible... there's a demo for the original IBM PC called 8088 Domination that can play full motion video at various resolutions, framerate, and color depth on the 4 color CGA card (and sound through a sound card).
I wish I had an 80s IBM pc. I LOVE old pc hardware. I (legally not able to be employed, but I make $10 a month for chores), considered paying all chore money for 8 years to get an old IBM pc.

This is actually a question I’ve asked. I worked at a computer company and I’ve had numerous old computers being brought in, and I’ve always wanted to turn them into baritone bots.
Actually this is done on VM. If you do it directly on hardware you will get more fps. Your biggest problem would be to track down the drivers that are compatible with your ancient OS, which might not exist at all actually. The reason why this runs slow and making the window smaller helps is because the VM is not using a proper driver and it rolls back to compability mode (so it's not actually using the GPU). This happens without hardware acceleration.
@@WXKFA I remember when my GPU broke and my PC was running with the integrated one I was wondering why images wheren't loading, turns out i had no drivers installed at all. I also learned that PvZ is awfully unoptimized
I've seen worse. My first mc experience was on my grandpa's old laptop in 2012 on 1.2.5 Had 256 colours, but due to some error, it would only draw the vertices, not the faces, so blocks would just be a few 1pixel lines in either green, brown, grey... Whole thing ran at about the same framerate as this here on the video, despite being a much older version. (That laptop was just horrible) It was also a pirated version, just as a cherry on top.

The funniest thing is that if I understood it correctly, someone maintaining the Hypixel server is gonna know that someone managed to play on it from 1998. And they are going to start wondering how exactly someone living in a theoretical dystopian dictatorship somewhere, where the PCs can only run Windows 98, managed to set up the infrastracture to connect to the outer world. And why the heck are they using it to play Hypixel. Then they will assume that this is a bigbrain communication system for rebels somewhere where no one freaking expects and will start their own personal mission on adapting Hypixel servers to run on the oldest operational systems as well. Just because screw dictatorships freedom for the win. And now imagine them doing all of this stuff and seeing this video and comparing it's upload date to Hypixel logs. And then they read this comment. I see you, Bob. We know what you wanted to do here in your little cube game. The intention is a crime against the regime. We do not care that you are not in our borders. Expect us to visit you for a talk.
because this was on a vm, it will say VMWare. it says exactly so in the details in the top right corner, where the fps and coordinates etc are. but if someone did this on actual physical hardware then yes, would be interesting to see their reaction. might think it's spoofed
Filmora uses terrible advertising techniques. They make spoof sites of other free editing software (Like Davinci Resolve) that redirects you to Filmora. They hardly ever tell you theres a watermark in the free version, when i tried it out, I was outraged that my work had a huge watermark that made it near-impossible to even tell whats going on. They also had youtube advertisements which said stuff like "Do you want to be a youtuber like Pewdiepie or Markiplier? (Not kidding) So it was obviously targeted at younger audiences who are more willing to just download random things. In other words: sellout.
What Mr. Sellout says: Wondershare Filmora is a great video editor, as well i like to shave my beard with Dollar Shave Club, while using Nord VPN so that government can't get me, and i made my website thanks to Squarespace, and learning various stuff with Skillshare, and i love the social media TikTok, as well as i play the best P2W game called RAID: Shadow Legends. What Dr. Zoomer says: It is me, Davinci Resolve gang, loving to buy shavers from the store, trying to hide myself from the government with SoftEther VPN, hosting a site myself with Apache Webserver and WordPress, when i try to learn things myself, as a Redditor, and yeah, Minecraft good.

VirtualBox is not optimized for non-Windows NT based versions. Try on a real machine, you can build one for a few bucks.
Nah it works fine for my ubuntu vm, I've even managed to stream video out of it to my main machine
I didn't know that first hand.
This is true, in fact you need to install 3rd party drivers for your screen because VirtualBox's guest addons don't work on Windows 9X.
VMWare is a little more optimized than VirtualBox for Windows 98 but if you can get a real machine, it would be 100% better indeed
The latest Windows 98 can run, with driver modifications, is on 2007-era parts at the most. And that “few bucks” really will turn out to $75 lucky case if he finds a pre-built, if of course it’d work with minimal lag in a playable state on such new version which I feel confidently it won’t. Maybe if he tried out OptiFine, it’ll work in his favor? Rudolph Loew’s patches will have to be used either way, the most notable no matter which way you do it is “PATCHMEM” which’ll allow for up to 3GB of usable RAM. If he does want to go through this route, I have assembled a list months ago of possible hardware and patches that’ll allow for the highest-end Windows 98 machine. notepad.pw/share/5mq24hp8l
He should instead try VMware, and experiment with its settings so a good chunk of his newer hardware can be used within the Windows 98 environment.
A few bucks meaning around £100

Actually this is done on VM. If you do it directly on hardware you will get more fps. Your biggest problem would be to track down the drivers that are compatible with your ancient OS, which might not exist at all actually. The reason why this runs slow and making the window smaller helps is because the VM is not using a proper driver and it rolls back to compability mode (so it's not actually using the GPU). This happens without hardware acceleration.

And they are going to start wondering how exactly someone living in a theoretical dystopian dictatorship somewhere, where the PCs can only run Windows 98, managed to set up the infrastracture to connect to the outer world.
And why the heck are they using it to play Hypixel.
Then they will assume that this is a bigbrain communication system for rebels somewhere where no one freaking expects and will start their own personal mission on adapting Hypixel servers to run on the oldest operational systems as well. Just because screw dictatorships freedom for the win.

Filmora uses terrible advertising techniques. They make spoof sites of other free editing software (Like Davinci Resolve) that redirects you to Filmora. They hardly ever tell you theres a watermark in the free version, when i tried it out, I was outraged that my work had a huge watermark that made it near-impossible to even tell whats going on. They also had youtube advertisements which said stuff like "Do you want to be a youtuber like Pewdiepie or Markiplier? (Not kidding) So it was obviously targeted at younger audiences who are more willing to just download random things.
In other words: sellout.
I agree filmora is shit without premium
@not Shane kid i get that. But there are definitely other options. Who knows, maybe they paid like 1.7k like how Raid did.
