What if Mojang released Minecraft 2?

🖥️ System Requirements
⚠️ Note: Vanilla Evolved is a heavy modpack (~220 mods). It was tested on different machines and even runs on low-end laptops — but it pushes them to the edge.
Minimum:
CPU: 4 cores @ 3.0GHz (or better)
RAM: 8 GB total system RAM (allocate at least 6 GB to Minecraft)
GPU: Intel Iris Xe / GTX 950 or equivalent (expect limited performance)
Storage: 6–8 GB free space
Recommended:
CPU: 6–8 cores @ 3.5GHz+
RAM: 12–16 GB system RAM (allocate 8–10 GB to Minecraft)
GPU: GTX 1660 / RX 580 or better
Storage: SSD with 10+ GB free space
📝 Tested on:
Laptop: Intel i5-1335U + Iris Xe, 16 GB RAM, 175 GB SSD.
✅ The modpack launches and runs.
⚠️ However, performance is unstable and the system is "on the edge of death". Expect heavy stuttering and high CPU/SSD usage.
