Details: Ryzen 5 2600 GTX 1060 with 6GB VRAM, 16GB RAM (8GB for Minecraft) on Windows 10 Pro. Playing Minecraft 1.13 without mods or hacks. Initially stable at ~200 FPS, dropped to 40 FPS and below after some time. Task manager showed Minecraft consuming 7-8GB RAM. CPU usage stayed around 20%, GPU about 40%. Everything else normal except performance drop. Screenshot reference: Arbeitss. I’m German. Tried closing programs, restarting, adjusting settings, and using Optifine. Optifine helped but the 1.13 version is buggy. Fixed it works fine again. Will update if issues recur.

Minecraft consumes RAM when fed with it, vanilla works well within 1 GB limits though, remember that was a while ago. You might want to restrict Minecraft's RAM usage. Assigning 8 GB frees up the full capacity.

It makes sense because you're using a lot of memory even though Minecraft works well on 1GB.

After allocating only 1gb of memory, performance remained unchanged. The same frame rate was observed, with no improvement despite the low allocation. It seems the issue isn't related to RAM.

You've got 4GB set up for Minecraft, but it's been a bit tight—around 1GB has been insufficient even at version 1.4 or before.

How many mods, add-ons, or skins are currently active? That might be contributing to the problem.

I didn't catch that segment even though I noticed vanilla. It might be better to confirm if your setup matches. Have you attempted to remove and reinstall the software? Also, did you defrag your HDD, especially if you think it's not an SSD?
