Minecraft runs on Java, so any issues with the general Java installation and version on your computer will bleed through and cause troubles with Minecraft ranging from decreased FPS to outright failure to run.įirst, if you’re running a 64-bit computer/operating system (many computers these days are 64-bit) you want to run the 64-bit version of Java. That’s great when you’re finishing a book report but not so much when you’re gaming. Laptops generally throttle GPU and CPU performance while on battery to conserve energy and give you more time between recharges. In addition, if you’re playing on a laptop you should always keep the laptop plugged into the wall while you’re playing Minecraft. while you might leave your music app playing in the background, there’s no reason to leave a word processor and a web browser open and sucking up resources. Unless you’re running a beefy computer, the first thing you should do in your quest to improve Minecraft performance is shut down any application you aren’t using while actually playing, e.g. While the in-game, tweaks are important, and we’ll get to them in a moment, there are several things you want to do before you even start Minecraft to ensure you’re not inadvertently killing the game’s performance. Let’s look at all the ways you can tweak things to ensure you’re getting the best Frames Per Second (FPS) you can. Whether you have a low-end computer that’s struggling with the game or a high-end computer that provides you with a zippy Minecraft experience, however, there are a variety of tweaks and tricks you should know about to ensure you have a stable and enjoyable time with the game. It might look like a simple game compared to super slick modern game with photorealistic graphics but there is a ton going on under the hood. The game engine is responsible for rendering everything you see, keeping it all updated, tracking how all the elements interact with each other (like when lava meets water or the player falls off a cliff), rendering the lighting as the day changes into night, spawning and despawning the game’s creatures, and dozens of other little subtle changes. The CPU and GPU alike are taxed to bring together the Minecraft worlds we enjoy exploring. The game is so much more sophisticated than its simple wrapper would suggest.īeneath the surface there is an enormous amount of activity going on. On the surface it looks so simple: just a sea of low-resolution blocks and what appears to be rather elementary game mechanics. Most people are caught off guard by how resource intensive Minecraft is.
