Yes that is true that a signed number takes the same amount of ram but what if you need to store a lot of numbers that have range of 0-255 in java you would have to use a short array but in c you could use a unsigned char array would takes half the amount of ram. Also I looked up what is minecraft and the graphics were not that good. They even had to resort to use nearest neighbor scaling on all the textures. That explains why it runs fast due to simple graphics.
Yeah, C is great and all. I like C, and reading K&R The C Programming Language can be a breath of fresh air sometimes. But it's not the one true way. There is no one true way in engineering. And when you're not really engineering, when you're just playing, then there is absolutely no one true way.
But if you're stricken with OCD, or perhaps you're developing for a system that requires such attention to detail, and you must concern yourself with excess bits and bytes, you're welcome to do that, too.

I know C++ and PHP so i dont have problems with the programing part. I have worked with the utilites you refer (not in java) and i have made terminal apps. I started Unity 3d with this book and its prety awesome! Also about the networking stuff i found out about photon. I think i will go on with these for now, i almost reached the half of the book!

There you have nailed it my hoby is to program for very limited micro controllers I enjoy making limited hardware doing impressive things sometimes I even program in assembly but I use c alot too.

[/quote]I like that hobby.
I keep the C64 programming manuals as PDFs in my Ubuntu One cloud, and I've fiddled a little with NES programming. It takes a whole different mindset from current PC programming.
