    funny thing about minecraft is it uses 8-bit textures. In essence it shouldnt require much graphics memory at all to run. It uses a lot of standard memory yes but thats the java platform crunching a lot of it's own business. The real killer is all the Other stuff on your IGP, like a narrow pipeline, and very few shaders: compare your 10 unified shader cores to a gaming graphics card's 800 unified (or more) cores. Intel IGPs are not designed for 3D Graphics.
