Minecraft Java experience slow? Check out these tips to fix the lag on AMD systems.
Hello all, I have had this problem for a while now, my computer is definitely what some call capable (16 gigs ram, AMD FX 8350, Radeon RX580 8 gig) and can easily run RDR2, Battlefield, really anything I need at 50+ frames. But when it comes to Minecraft Java (A game I remember our 15 year old office PC running easily when I was younger) it stops dead in it's tracks, it stutters every other second or so, making the game damn near impossible to play, or at least be any good at. I've tried reinstalling graphics drivers and am running on Optifine with 4 gigs of VRAM available to Minecraft. Any known fixes? I can imagine this is common.
This application runs entirely on a single core and is CPU-limited. Others have faced the same issue eight years ago with your CPU and Minecraft. You may need to reduce simulation or rendering distance, try different settings, or consider the Bedrock edition for comfort. I found a 2014 discussion about OptiFine multi-core support that might help, but you can likely solve it yourself.
I see the difference you're observing. On bedrock it works smoothly with Xbox friends, but not in Java. I'll look into the simulation distance.
the issue is clear. skip installing optifart, forge, fabric or any optimization mods. instead, use basic techniques: - limit render distance to 10 chunks max, maybe lower to 8 - disable shadows, clouds and fog - make sure you have sufficient ram, but avoid overloading it since that increases garbage collection problems
It's mainly about improving efficiency. Contemporary CPUs manage Minecraft well, making optimization for older or slower machines less important since they often have many cores and threads. Current games, however, are designed to run smoothly on gaming consoles with multiple cores, allowing better CPU usage. Additionally, Java isn't the most efficient language for writing fast code, which can slightly reduce performance.
