Question
I'm a happy Minecraft player. I place my blocks, mine my coal, and generally nobody gets hurt. Lately though, those mean creepers have been sneaking up on me from behind, and killing me. Why? Because my framerate is so darn low. What hacks, tricks, and mean addons can I use to improve my Minecraft fps? Beta, Win 7.
And I left out the obvious. While the graphics option and the render distance help, they are not enough. I have seen mention of outside optimizations and programs that people have made/used. Thats what I am looking for.
Answer
There are a number of mods that claim to improve FPS in Minecraft though I can't personally vouch for one or another since I haven't installed them myself.
The most popular seems to be Optimine v3 (Minecraft Forum Link) which reworks a number of rendering details to improve Minecraft performance (+20fps claimed). Many people go crazy about it on the forum, others say that it just doesn't work so YMMV.
Last I heard, Notch was actually including some of these optimizations into Minecraft proper but I highly doubt he's included all of the changes since this particular mod has compatibility with a very new (1.2_01) version of Minecraft.
Keep in mind that any Minecraft mod that's not a skin requires you to patch the Minecraft code itself and thusly may not be compatible with other "mods" or your Minecraft version.
