Minimum graphics settings in minecraft. Optimization of the PC and the necessary software for the correct and fast operation of the Minecraft game

Many faced the problem - Minecraft slows down. It would seem, why would it? It's all because it's far from perfect source. Of course, with each new version optimization improved, but even on 1.7.2 it is far from ideal. Well, okay, not about that. Not all players know how to correctly adjust the graphical parameters of the game, and because of this, there are serious problems with the number of frames per second, or fps.
This guide will help you add some frames. Of course, it all depends on your computer.

SpoilerTarget"> Spoiler: General


This setting directly affects fps. Although purely visually, the difference is not very noticeable. Set to "Fast" for better performance.

This is your line of sight. It has a very, very big impact on performance.
For a comfortable game, about the Normal level is enough. If everything really slows down, you can set it to a minimum.

This setting eats a lot. When turned on, the world looks brighter and more saturated, without sharp drops. Disable immediately.

Or dimming the lighting. Set to the minimum.

Fog. This option is responsible for the detailed rendering of the fog. Set it to Fast.

This is the limitation of performance by reducing or increasing the voltage. VSync fixes fps at a comfortable level, I personally have 60. Due to the fact that only those chunks that fall into the visibility zone will be loaded. If you set "Unlimited", then fps will change abruptly. But as practice has shown, weak computers"Unlimited" behaves better.

Extremely ambiguous option. In theory, it should be some other way of processing graphics. In fact, when you turn on someone, fps sags a lot, and sometimes vice versa. In any case, I did not notice any visual changes. Disable.

Choice of how to load chunks. Default - does not stabilize fps at all, chunks are loaded chaotically. Smooth, or smoothness - a mode that slightly smoothes this process and equalizes fps. Multi-core is suitable only for owners of multi-core processors. The idea is to speed up the download three times. In practice, all three modes work differently for everyone. Try, experiment.

This is the approximate distance of the fog from the player. 0.8 is far, 0.2 is close. Almost no performance impact.


Understood the basic settings.

Go to section " Details"

SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Details

clouds- These are clouds, that is, they can be turned off.
trees- These are trees. this setting reduces tree detail.
water- Water.
Sky- Sky.
sun and moon- Sun and moon.
Depth Fog- Depth of fog.
Dropped Items- Dropped items.
Cloud Height- The height of the clouds.
Grass- Grass.
rain & snow- Rain and snow.
stars- Stars.
snow capes- It's a varied level of snow. That is, it will lie flat or with different heights.
Translucent Block- Translucent block.
Held Item Tooltips- A line above the item panel, which will show the name of the item taken in hand.

In this column, everything can be safely put on Default or Off.


Next section Animations- you don’t need to touch anything in it, since the animation does not affect performance in any way.

Quality.

MIP Level - visual effect responsible for smoothing. Disable.
Antisotropic Filtration- In short - improves the detail of the image. Disable.
clear water- Transparency of water.
Better Grass- Improved grass.
Custom Fonts- Custom fonts. Doesn't affect fps.
Swamp Colors- Swamp colors. Darkens the textures in the swamp biome.
Connected Texture- Responsible for connecting different resource packs.
Custom Sky- Changed sky.
MipMap Type- Does not affect fps.
antialiasing- Texture smoothing. Definitely disable!
Random Mobs- Random mobs.
Better Snow- Improved snow.
custom colors- Changed color.
Smooth Bioms- Biome smoothing.
natural textures- Natural textures.

Here, just like Details, turn off almost everything on Off, or Default.


Pefomanse Settings.

SpoilerTarget"> Spoiler: Performance Settings

Smooth FPS- Smoothing and fps stabilization .
Loads Far -
Loading the world beyond Far .
Chunk Updates -
Updating chunks behind the scenes - It does not affect the game at all, as the server.
fast math- Uses optimized sin and cos functions, which can better use the CPU cache and increase fps.
Fast Render- Uses an optimized rendering algorithm that reduces gpu load and can increase fps. You can turn it off if you notice flickering textures on some blocks.
Preloaded Chunks- Selection of the distance from which the loading of new chunks starts. Longer distance will negatively affect performance.
Dynamic Updates- Dynamic chunk loading. If this option is enabled, chunks will load faster if the character is not moving.


other settings.

SpoilerTarget"> Spoiler: Other Settings

Lagometer- Option to enable infographics on panel f3. Basically, it's not needed.
Weather- Weather. Have you noticed that it slows down more when it rains? Here you can turn off the rain.
Debug Profiler - Complements lagometer. It does not affect performance, it is unlikely that you will understand it there.
Time- Time. Doesn't work on the server.
Foolscreen Mode- We set any resolution available.
Autosave- Autosave does not work on the server.

Everything here is optional.


All these manipulations should add decent fps.
Let's talk a little about memory allocation for Minecraft. The main resource for him is RAM. For this game, not so much a powerful video card is important, but powerful processor and fast RAM.
Recommended quantity random access memory, necessary for a comfortable game - 1 gigabyte.
But if it happened, and your computer has only 1 gigabyte of memory, then it is better to choose 512 MB.
Since java will reserve the selected gigabyte for itself and the computer will simply have nothing to feed other processes with.
That's basically it. Minecraft graphics settings are a delicate matter, and not always amenable to normal logic. You have to experiment. I hope I helped someone at least a little.
Thank you for your attention.

I think many people had problems with the performance of Minecraft

So how do you raise FPS (Frames Per Second) in your minecraft client?
In this post, I will help all owners of low-power PC or laptops/netbooks increase the number of staff Minecraft.
We will consider the official launcher downloaded from minecraft.net And launcher

OptiFine

First effective way (+20-30FPS) there will be installation OptiFine, which will change the rendering and drawing system of Minecraft. (I recommend version OptiFine Ultra)

Installing OptiFine for Minecraft versions 1.5.x and below.

By deleting or disabling programs you do not need, you can also free up RAM.

last resort will configure your video card for maximum performance by moving the performance slider in the "Panel Nvidia controls", which in turn is located in the "Control Panel".

The performance slider is in the tab "3D Settings" and tab "Adjusting Image Settings with Preview"

I hope with this little manual I helped you speed up your horse ^^


Known fact that Minecraft is written in Java language, makes our favorite game very demanding on our computers, even the most powerful ones. But by properly setting up the PC and installing the right software, we will achieve the maximum performance of the game.
This article will provide links to software and tips for optimizing PC performance, necessary for fast work Minecraft.

1) The Java platform is the most important element without which Minecraft simply won't run. For our launcher, we recommend downloading java 8u60 from our site, while disabling the auto-update of the Java module.

2) Software OpenGL is built into the video card driver. Many do not even know about it, since it is installed automatically with many games or programs. You can download the latest version

3) The driver for your PC's graphics card is essential to running the game. Most often, errors in the game pop up precisely because drivers may not be installed or updated. Therefore, it is important to set correct driver video card and update it as new versions are released.
You can download drivers from the links according to the manufacturer and model of your video card:
- NVIDIA
- AMD
- INTEL

4) Sometimes you may need an update

5) Clear the hosts file. Entries left by viruses in the hosts file can block access not only to your favorite pages on the Internet, but also minecraft will not be able to connect to the server. Always be careful what you download and install on your PC to avoid such situations, periodically clean the contents hosts file. And you can do this by opening notepad as administrator => open hosts (on Windows 95/98/ME it is located: C:\WINDOWS\hosts; on Windows NT/2000 it is located: C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\ etc\hosts; on Windows XP/2003/Vista/7/8 it is located: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts), select all contents ctrl+A and delete everything ctrl+X, save changes.

6) Disabling background programs and games, torrents browsers, incentives - to offload the network.

7) Comprehensive driver update. This is necessary to check the current status of your software and update to the latest versions, which will positively affect the performance of your PC.
For this we recommend using

8) Cleaning your PC of unnecessary garbage, as well as helping your computer get rid of all the little nasty things picked up on the Internet:

9) If your computer is still infected with viruses that are on this moment did not lead to the inoperability of your PC, we recommend cleaning it from viruses. Of course, this will not solve the problem 100%, because each virus requires its own approach, and complex cleaning will require much more knowledge. Therefore, we offer you the following utility:

Viruses are recommended to "Cure" immediately, if this is not possible, then "delete". Attention! Infected applications, games, programs, etc. may suffer, which will require them to be reinstalled, but remember, if a virus has already made its way into your applications, then it spreads to any application that you launch, so a complete formatting of the PC will help you here and reinstalling the OS (if you have enough knowledge, then clean the PC from viruses from under the system, if you have money, hand over the PC to the service).

10) If you still have problems with playing minecraft in the form of lags, then lower the graphics settings in the game to a minimum.

12) The last item left is the configuration of your PC.
The minimum requirements for work are:
Processor 1.4 GHz multi-core or 2.0 GHz single-core;
Video card must support OpenGL 1.4 or higher;
RAM must be at least 1 gigabyte.

For a normal game, it is enough: a dual-core processor with a frequency of 2.0 GHz
512 MB video cards, if the video card is not more than 4 years old.
RAM 3 gigabytes.

Well, for the maximum, all parameters are 2 times higher, at least.

We would like to draw your attention to network connection(Internet). The most stable connection is obtained by cable connection. Using WiFi networks possible crashes from the game. If you are using WiFi exclusively, then you should be as close as possible to the network adapter.
Your Internet connection speed must be at least 2 Mbps.
And most importantly, when playing on minecraft servers, this is the absence of loads on the network - point number 6. 90% of crashes from the game (disconnects) are solved in this way.

Today we will talk about how to remove lags in Minecraft. The fact is that many fans of this game at least once in the midst of the process faced an unexpected problem. The world of "Minecraft" suddenly began to freeze, and such difficulties spoiled all the pleasure of virtual life. Without lags, the game will start to work fine.

Performance

To figure out how to fix lags in Minecraft, we need some mods and latest version Java. First of all, problems arise if the computer used is weak. Let's try to find out the reason for what is happening. It often turns out that the problem is related to incorrect work software platform known as Java. In this case, in order to fix the problem and figure out how to reduce lags in Minecraft or completely remove them, go to and look in the list of processes how many applications with the specified name are active at the time the game starts. If there are more than one, complete the extra ones by pressing the appropriate button.

installation

To solve the problem "how to remove lags in Minecraft" the method described above is not always effective. If it does not help, we move on to more radical actions. Namely, reinstalling Java. Download the installer with a newer version and replace it with the one already deployed on the PC software platform. This approach will allow the game to work better. Next, go to the Start menu, move from there to the Control Panel, find Java there and select View. A special window will open. In its empty line, enter the desired indicators of RAM allocated for Minecraft.

Other Options

In order to completely solve the problem "how to remove lags in Minecraft" you should set the values ​​​​that are most consistent with the computer's RAM. If this parameter is equal to 4 gigabytes, enter in the Runtime Parameters line: -Xmx3748M and -Xms978M. Accordingly, these figures indicate the maximum and minimum amount of RAM that is allocated to the application. The above options are only valid for 64-bit versions of Windows. If used operating system 32x, enter one value, namely Xmx. Next, indicate no more than 1 gigabyte. Spaces are not needed in this case.

At the next stage, we proceed to editing. If Nvidia is used, we go through the "Start" menu to the "Control Panel". We find there a tool called Control Panel related to the video card, and run it. We select the item that offers to adjust the parameters of the 3D image. It can be found in the opened window with right side. Of the lines that appear, we are interested in those that relate to vertical sync and triple buffering. In this case, we turn off the first of the parameters, and turn on the second. Among other things, the OptiFine mod can help in solving difficulties. Download it and install it on your PC. Using it, you can optimize your work by using hidden system resources and disabling unnecessary functions. We use the specified add-on to set up graphics, based on specifications computer. Now you know how to remove lags in Minecraft. The described actions can significantly improve the quality of the gameplay.
