Speeding up Minecraft?

The Kamikaze Guy · **Posted:** June 10th, 2012, 1:59 am

Now, my computer is literally one of the worst here on rsbandb. A five year old laptop with a 1.6Ghz processor. I can run Minecraft at a constant 15Fps with slight increases and decreases. This is on tiny render distance though. Anyway, I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to speed it up?

Thanks

Drop all the detail and **** down to low. I think minecraft has those options it's been a while. And closing down any programs you don't need open can't hurt.

I wonder if how much you explore and build effects your performance.

As far as I know minecraft only renders the chunks around you so you don't have to worry about exploring too much, but building things like clocks will slow you down somewhat.

Enabling Advanced OpenGL will boost your FPS some, as it undraws anything that isn't on the screen, and then redraws it when you view it again.

My laptop is just as old, cheap and junky and had problems with Minecraft as well.
I use to freeze, lagout and crash even while all detail settings at it's lowest.

Switch over to "Run as administrator" and made it run Windows XP pack2.

Put a stop to the random crashes. Helped me with the performance.

Check out OptiFine. It can help, especially if your hardware specs are lacking.

That doesn't increase fps.

Minecraft can be slow at the best of times. If you're using a texture pack find a lower res version. If I'm using a 26x256 sometimes I need to hit esc and wait for the blocks to load before walking about. That may help alongside others' comments.
