Game Performance & FPS Boosting
Best Settings for Smooth Gameplay
- Graphics Settings:
-🔧 Fix: Set Graphics to "Fast" instead of "Fancy" to reduce visual effects and increase performance.
- Tip: Turn off Smooth Lighting or lower it to Minimum for extra FPS.
- Render Distance:
-🔧 Fix: Lower the Render Distance to around 8-12 chunks. This significantly reduces the number of loaded chunks, boosting performance.
-🌍 Tip: On lower-end PCs, reduce it even further (4-6 chunks).
- V-Sync and FPS Cap:
-🔧 Fix: Turn V-Sync off to reduce input lag and set the Max Framerate to Unlimited for the best FPS.
-⚡ Tip: Use software like OptiFine to get more control over FPS settings and enable dynamic updates.
- Particles and Animations:
-🔧 Fix: Set Particles to "Minimal" and disable unnecessary animations, like Water Animated or Fire Animated.
-🌟 Tip: Use Performance Mods like Sodium (for Fabric) or OptiFine to optimize graphics without sacrificing visual quality.
