Gaming is great fun, especially on a PC. However, sometimes your computer hates you, when this happens you start lagging and your fps drops to below 60. Well I am writing this tutorial to help anyone who has these unbearable lag spikes and fps problems. Minecraft is a great game, but sadly requires a good PC to actually run the game at a playable and decent fps (60 fps and higher). I have a good gaming PC which I built myself but many people are less fortunate and cannot afford better specs to upgrade their PC.
You know many of us really hate lag so much, even me hate the lag. Well their are three kinds of lag.
1. Internet lag- (This problem is the can be resolved by you Internet Service Provider or ISP or change your Internet to a better one)
2. Server Lag- ( Server lag means the performance of the server is low. Can be cause by too many items drop, bugs and glitches, too many red stone works and others, you can report someone who are abusing, and post some bugs for fixes with some evidences.)
3. The FPS lag- (you know. the frame-rate per second, when it is too low, your computer gets laggy
and performance is not good,)
Here are some tips to Improve you FPS
1. Running apps- Sometimes your game may lag or just be slow and unresponsive because you have programs running in the background on your PC. Programs like Skype, your Antivirus, a web browser, music/video players and email applications will all slow your PC down and therefore slow your game down. To improve performance try closing these programs, but NEVER close your antivirus software because then you're unprotected. If you have a antivirus like Norton Internet Security or another antivirus that has a similar function, you can right click the icon in the notification area of the Windows task bar and select Turn on silent mode or gaming mode (names may vary depending on your antivirus). Make sure you haven't just minimized the window, or allowed the program to go into the hidden icon menu in Windows (bottom right of the Windows task bar). Completely close the program by clicking the cross in the top right hand corner of the Window.
Another way to boost fps is by using the Windows Task Manager. First make sure Minecraft is running in the background (open/running). Then open the Windows Task Manager, to open the Task Manager click Ctrl + Alt + Delete on your Keyboard at the same time. Then click Start Task Manager. In the Task Manager right click on Minecraft and select Go to process, the process will now be highlighted and will be called javaw.exe. There are actually 2 of these processes, firstly right click on the un-highlighted javaw.exe and select End process, this will close the process. The second javaw.exe is actually not required to play Minecraft and is just wasting your RAM. Next go back to the first javaw.exe, right click it and select Set priority, then choose high in the menu. A new window will appear saying "Do you want to change the priority of javaw.exe"? In this new window click Change priority.
2. Java Arguments- Java Arguments, make your launcher reserves more Ram sufficient for your game. I highly recommend to download Java Argument Generator [HTML,http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/program-java-argument-generator---speed-up-minecraft/[/HTML]
after you download this, launch your Minecraft launcher and try to click ''Edit Profile" at the bottom left
the at the same time launch the Java Argument Generator, copy this by doing CTRL+C the paste it on java arguments on your launcher, play and good to go.
You can add more FPS up to 20%.
3.Making your settings faster- By downloading Optifine, What is Optifine? Optifine is a free mod which allows you to tweak more settings in the game and improve fps and performance.
To download Optifine please visit this link: https://optifine.net/downloads
Make sure you click the latest version of Minecraft supported by Optifine (currently 1.8.4), Optifine won't always have the latest version of Minecraft compatible, so just download the latest version available.
Next click Download, you will sadly be taken to an ADF.ly link, so make sure your cookies are turned on otherwise it won't work, and make sure you don't click any of the adverts on the page but as long as you click Skip Ad then you'll be OK. You have to wait 5 seconds and then the Skip Ad button will appear in the top right corner of the webpage.
Once you've clicked Skip Ad then click the text surrounded by adverts (unless you have Ad block Plus which will remove these adverts) to download the file. Run the install once the download has finished and then you're done!
Now open up the Minecraft launcher, once the launcher has opened go to the bottom left corner and click the drop down arrow. In the drop down menu make sure you select the Profile Optifine. Once that's done click Play to start the game and configure the settings.
Once the game launches then click Options on the starting screen. In Options click Video settings and you'll notice that loads of new settings have appeared.
You will notice how my settings are very high, this is because I have a good custom built gaming PC that can handle these settings and still get 800 fps. I would recommend lowering these settings a lot to get better performance if your PC cannot handle high settings.
This is a list of the recommended settings in Minecraft:
Graphics: Fast
Smooth Lighting: Off
GUI Scale: Auto (for normal display) or Small to get higher fps
Brightness: Bright or Dark - it's your preference!
Fog: Off
3D Ana glyph: Off
Render Distance: 4-8
Max Frame-rate: Unlimited
View Bobbing: Off or On - it's once again your preference
Use VBOs: On
And that's it in the main Video Settings screen, now for the other settings:
Details:
Select Default for everything with the Default option
Turn Clouds Off
Turn off anything else that is turned On
Animations:
Click the All Off button for the best performance.
Quality:
Mipmap Levels: Off
Anisotrophic Filtering: Off
Antialisiasing: Off
Mipmap Type: Nearest
Then turn everything On, Off to get best performance.
Performance:
Smooth FPS: On
Fast Render: On
Chunk Updates: 1
Lazy Chunk Loading: Off
Smooth World: Off unless you play a lot of Single Player
Fast Math: On
Dynamic Updates: On
Other:
Autosave: 30min
Then turn everything On, Off for best performance.
Finally click Done to save all the settings you have just changed, this should boost your fps from anywhere between 20-100+ fps.
Next to test your settings. Go to Single Player and create a New world. Once the world has been created click the button F3 on your keyboard to show the fps of your game. If you're on a laptop you may need to press Shift + F3.
Hope you like, sorry i don't have pictures nor a video.
And consider my error grammars and language, Its not my dialect.
Feel free to comment (whether bad or good)
