is there a way to access the preferences in file explorer?

Issue comments

While MCreator is opening, click on the preferences button.

Keep in mind that you need to have a lot of luck to get 1.8.1 working as 32-bit version. Use 64-bit version instead. We will drop 32-bit support in the upcoming updates too.

Unfortunately, you can't use MCreator on this computer. You have 3031 MB of RAM only too, so there is no way to run MCreator on such computer.
