Can an Intel pentium n3540 run minecraft?

Well ofcourse that cpu can if its a desktop just look and see what pciex16 your running more than likely you have vr 2.0 buy a video card if you have a lappy you gotta look at the installed ram and onboard video card also making sure your drivers are up to pare with the manufacture

Yes. But it runs only versions 1.5 and down. Hope this helps.
