How to Free Up More Space on Your PC for Minecraft

Unlike most modern computer games, "Minecraft" doesn't require much in the way of system resources. In terms of disk space, the game needs a minimum of 100 MB for data, music and sound effects, but that doesn't leave much room for custom maps, mods and other add-ons. For optimum results, your computer should have at least 1 GB of free space for "Minecraft." If you've deleted personal files you no longer want or need but still have very little disk space left, you can remove unnecessary programs and system files to create available space as well.
