Note: 16 GB of RAM is the minimum required to operate, however 32 GB of RAM is recommended. Having less than 32 restricts operations significantly. Likewise, having 64 or higher significantly "lifts the ceiling", removing restrictions from MC and from outside apps trying to use the RAM. In short, just max-out your computer.
