WAY TO SPEED UP MINECRAFT!

Gamebooster. Im not advertising it, but it works for those of you with laptops. It stops all of your processes that wont harm your computers performance, basically speeding up you computer! o-0 well, i have a dell inspiron, and my minecraft ran about 6-9 fps. now with gamebooster turned on, it runs 140-270 fps! To be honest though, it diddnt work the first time i used it. I had to turn my computer off and then back on to get it to work. try it out if you want! http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.ph...9b7584026d7aec

Is this website at the very least trustable? What about the soft itself?
Can I have other educated opinions on this? I don't want to install crap on my computer like spyware or software sending information about my computer.

Not related to the link but I heard of a bug where if you set your system clock (was it an hour ahead or behind?) the game will run 2x times as fast. Mine things faster, move faster, etc.

There is acctuallly a mod called Optimine which boosted my fps from 8 to about 25 not much but 8 was pretty annoying :P

I have tried Optimine already. Along with the CAF mod and Optifog.

None of those 3 mods worked effectively on raising my FPS DX

I'm not sure about that Gamebooster thing. It seems too good to be true.

yea there are a bunch of performance boosting mods out there. best bet though is to put yer graphics to the low setting (not thaat there is a ton o diff) and set the draw distance down lower than you got it. turning off the new lighting should help too.

Spoiler - one gnome's two cents

as far as that gamebooster thing, anything that kills off excess processes and frees up resources should help performance. HOWEVER(!) killing off the wrong processes can do all kinds of bad things from crashing other processes to bluescreening your computer. Unless you know exactly what is being done, and what it is being done to, you SHOULD NOT go and just start killing off processes. Quite frankly, programs that do it automatically make me nervous.

If you play on Short or Tiny, you often get these freeze frames due to chunk updates. But it depends on your computer I guess. Turning off the smooth lighting does help though.

1.5 is delayed till next week ;_;

Not happy because next week is when my holiday ends and therefor less minecraft, and when notch posted it on his blog he posted the SAME video that he posted last time!!!
And I have to be honest the acheivments and statistics look finished, why cant he just release them!?!? /end rant

Did anyone try out that game AceofSpades which notch re-tweeted because I did and although the graphics aren't to great it's actually a very fun game. Try it out! http://ace-spades.com/ Jeb is adding a set of new rails though so I don't mind waiting a little longer. Power rails will either accelerate of brake carts depending on weather or not they are powered and detector rails will produce a redstone current when a minecart is on top of it. Seems like this update will be pretty useful to me.

Yeah but why not delay the powered rails!?!?!?

Common sense really :/

Turn off fullscreen and shrink the window by dragging the corners, see if that helps. ;)

Updates usually follow a certain standard. The number on the update usually means how big the update is.

For example. 1.4 came with wolves and all that good stuff. 1.4.1 Just took out the locked chest thing.

Developers usually don't go from one big update to another, which is probably the reason it was delayed. Since it's jumping from 1.4.1 to 1.5 it has to be a big update.

So, Umm. Whats with the minecraft server right now, I havnt been able to connect for about a month... did the IP change or something?

Just actually tried this, didn't actually seem to work. :( Normally smaller resolutions in games decrease lag.

Try decreasing the resolution of your whole computer monitor, that might help.

This is subjective here. MY common sense tells me that Notch better delay an update if it's for putting more stuff in and or testing it better before release.

I think, in all honesty, that mojang should stop adding things and just fix the bugs, then release it. :)

OK You all have good points but that still doesn't explain why he didn't post new footage!!
Its no good posting footage that ive already seen! I think its lazy :/

See?
Just like how many here had different problems and ides on what "would be best to add first," its like that all around, and with the devs, so they have tot think carefully what to add or not, even if it won't make sense to some.
