I've looked that page up and down twice now and unless I'm going blind there is no such link there.

Vib Rib actually posted it on page 117, but here's the link for you. I can confirm that it worked for me; no more lag spikes and a consistent 60-70 fps on my laptop. However, there are apparently some cases where it may corrupt old worlds, so you might want to start with a new one after installing.

I don't get it, how can a game that looks like it was made in 1995 run at 30 fps on a brand new computer?

Running Win 7 Home Premium but not running MC 1.9 yet, just on 1.8.1 - Asus stopped making this model right after I got it but this has been working really well for me on everything. I asked for suggested models on the laptop thread back in June, and someone else tried Minecraft on this exact model and said it worked great for them.

Ah, I haven't felt the need to upgrade yet, it's just something on my Amazon wishlist. Maybe if I ran pre-release stuff before the kinks are worked out I would upgrade, though, there seems to be a lot of complaints about bugs.

That sounds good. I'm curious as to what's the deciding factor that makes Minecraft run like poo poo on some new computers while it works great on others.

If you're getting slow performance try running the game in Linux. It's the only way I can play Minecraft on my laptop which has a GMA X3100.

In 1.6 I was getting over 300fps running the game in Ubuntu 10.04 on my 3-year old gaming PC. Max I ever got in Windows 7 was 100fps.

edit: Not sure if it has to do with running OpenJDK instead of Sun

If you hold food in your hand, they follow you around. If you feed them, they enter "love mode". Two animals in love mode = babies.

So apparently breeding involves cannibalism if certain conditions are met. Fantastic.

I'm using a Gateway FX-Series laptop that I bought in 2009 for Minecraft. It has 4gb RAM, a 1gb Nvidia 9800m GTS, and an Intel Centrino 2 CPU, and runs on 64-bit Vista. I've never had any problems playing (unmodded) Minecraft--when 1.8 introduced more stuttering, I dropped the draw distance down to "Normal", but beyond that, the game's run perfectly fine.

I don't think it's a laptop issue. I thought that it might have been linked to your graphics card--that is, perhaps most people experiencing FPS drops were using ATI cards. I know that GZDoom (the 3D engine re-write for Doom) runs fantastic on my Nvidia laptop, but is comparatively poo poo on ATI-based computers because of the differences in how the cards handle OpenGL.

But there seem to be people with ATI cards and no problems. :iiam:

On my pretty moderately spec'ed Unix box MC runs very smoothly - never using more than 219Mb RAM - when I switch to fast graphics and set bobbing to off. Maybe try that for a while. Smooth lighting off helps too, but then some angles show as black, e.g. open chests, stairs, etc.

I, for one, would like to crossbreed Pows (or Cigs???) with Sheeckens in order to make a single, ultimate animal that produces egg-milk and vomits wool.

I don't have time for multiple animals.

Minecraft would have been incredible in 1995 too, most games at that point were still using pre-rendered sprites superimposed on geometry if they had true 3D at all.

UnbearablyBlight: Nov 4, 2009; hello i am your heart how nice to meet you

E. ^^Amazing!

In my case the performance problems are definitely a laptop problem. My graphics card just wasn't built for playing 3D games, and it's to Minecraft's credit that I can run it at all, really. I just wondered why my performance dropped so bad between versions. Also, for what it's worth, I fixed my problem by changing from "max fps" to "balanced". I'm getting a playable 12 fps now. Not sure why I didn't think to try that last night.

Node posted:

Wow. The official 1.8 release runs like butt for me and I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. Multiple second pauses every few seconds makes it unplayable. I really hope this game doesn't go the way of Dwarf Fortress, performance wise.

That sounds like a lag spike problem, maybe? Apparently there's an Optimine fix out for it now. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-173-optifine-hd-g-fps-boost/

Tobaccrow: Jan 21, 2008; Don't smoke, kids... Unless you have to.

There should be an animal crate tool that makes animals portable/storable as inventory items. How does putting a cow in a big wooden crate make it possible to carry 64 of them one-handed? Who cares. Makes more sense than working with eggs. Recipe could be something like a chest with iron bars in the middle.

Makes as much sense as being able to carry enough building materials to construct a medium-sized house in your back pocket, I suppose.

Since he's going to have every animal reproduce with eggs (like in Pokemon) he should just add a Pokeball-type tool to "capture" animals and then let them out where you want!

(And then add the ability to capture and tame enemy mobs)

Wait wait...
Controls: you can't hold space to repeatedly jump, or hold leftmouse to repeatedly hit things, in the v1.9 pre-release

Does that mean just killing things, or also mining? Jesus.

Also, has there been an update to the original 1.9pre yet?

Using eggs or something else you could pick up would be way convenient for things like starting a new farm in another section of a multiplayer world.

It's a different game (made mostly by a different studio, and to be published by Mojang) http://mojang.com/2011/08/18/introducing-cobalt/

Jens has always been one of the devs on it.

quote:

Introduction to Cobalt
It�s hard to be a metal face. Agent Cobalt has learned as much after finding the Space Exploration Foundation�s lost colonization ship The Seed at planet X9CSEC5.5B-blue, Trunkopia. It was once built by a one million strong development team back on Earth, but disappeared merely 30 minutes after its subspace jump. Whatever happened on board during its misadventure, sanity was not invited.

Cobalt is an action game of running, jumping, rolling, shooting, throwing, dancing, hacking, rolling, flying, sliding, climbing, looting, deflecting, racing, pi�ata-ing, passing, scoring� and even more rolling! Play cooperatively with friends or defeat your enemies in a death match, loot match, race match, or Capture the Plug matches. (Or one of the other game modes, of course!)
