Running Minecraft at MAXIMUM Framerate (overheating edition)

Having a high frame rate in the game is pretty nice it can give you better reflexes help with smooth movement and overall just makes your gaming experience much more pleasant today we take frame rate to the extreme our goal to squeeze every last frame per second out of this block game made for

Children oh and it’d also be great if i could run a skyblock hub at over 30 fps but i guess we can’t have everything right so how are we gonna achieve maximum frame rate well frame rate relies mainly on what type of pc you have so let’s take a look at it copious

Amounts of rgb check fingerprint covered case check four year old incredibly dusty fans absolutely but what are the specs it has a four core i7 16 gigabytes of ram and a gtx 1060 that was plasti dipped white very poorly so let’s test it out minecraft 1.16 optifine

200 fps oh yeah that’s pretty good all right well let’s just add some shaders and ah yep okay 30 fps now to be fair those shaders are ultra gamer giga chad ray tracing shaders so my pearl pc never really stood a chance now what do you do when your computer is

Struggling to run minecraft option a change some settings to reduce the workload or option b add some more performance mods to try and get it to run better you’re absolutely right option c add a 1024 resolution texture pack and watch the pc cry as you can see it’s running just fine i

Mean i don’t see any frame drops and we’re not really lagging at all it’s fantastic honestly well i don’t think this pc is quite gonna cut it we’re gonna need something bigger better and faster but don’t worry i have just the thing Oh yeah now this is a computer that can run minecraft it’s got a ryzen 9 5950x 16 core absolute unit of a cpu 32 gigabytes of rgb ram for maximum chrome tabs and an rtx 3080 so that i can run ray tracing shaders while also maybe having discord open in the background

Maybe but before i can try anything out there’s something more important to do well i’ve got the pc all set up now it’s sitting happily under my desk raising the average temperature of my room by about 10 degrees very nice so let’s test it alright so

You see the little frame rate thing in the top left yeah it turns out using the f3 menu in game actually reduces your fps so i installed msi afterburner so that i have to worry about it i should have done this on the old pc too but guess who’s not getting out my

Old pc to re-record five minutes of footage me so we’ve remade the same world with the same seed and hopefully the same settings and as you can see we’re getting around 450 to 500 fps that’s like double but now i think it’s only fair that we test it with the shaders

Now these shaders are pretty hard to run so i wouldn’t be surprised if it and it’s at 130 fps not bad but are you really running ray traced minecraft if you don’t have a ridiculously high resolution texture pack to go along with it so here we have normal faithful 32x and also

Uh faithful 102 4x paint edition okay yep we only lost 20 fps so the blocks look pretty normal it just kind of looks like normal faithful 32 but then you zoom in and yep that’s that’s a lot of pixels there’s a lot of pixels in that that’s that’s a very

High resolution dirt block you know if you’re watching this on mobile or with trash internet there’s a good chance that there are more pixels on this minecraft dirt block than you are seeing on your entire video but are we here to make the game look good no

We’re here to squeeze out the most fps physically possible i want to prioritize increasing fps in a playable way first and then we’ll move on to well maximizing so i found some random game journalism article on the best minecraft 1.16 optifine settings for fps boost it’s a pretty long article

So i’m gonna have to paraphrase a bit oh yeah just go into your settings and just turn everything off yep every single setting i i want it on minimum render distance two to six recommended okay all right now our settings are nice and optimized and well the game’s not looking too bad i

Mean i can see at least 20 blocks in front of me and we’re getting 2 000 or 3000 fps so it’s pretty good but in my opinion this is still far too playable so to fix this i downloaded an ultimate fps texture pack for ultimate frame rate wow it’s beautiful All right yeah this texture pack is definitely reducing my frame rate not actually making it better but it’s the thought that counts right i even tried to play some bedwars with these settings but it didn’t go so well Now all of these ridiculously high frame rates look great when you see them in action but turns out living with pre-meltdown chernobyl under your desk can be a little problematic at times so far the pc has crashed not once not twice but four times due to the cpu overheading

It has a liquid cooler on it and three fans blasting air straight into it i actually had to go buy new fans for the radiator and some better thermal paste just to make it usable and even then it still wasn’t great i even had to go into bios and undervolt

The cpu to force it to consume less power and therefore make less heat otherwise you wouldn’t be able to hear me talking over the sound of these fans but enough distractions 2800 fps is good but not good enough there’s a minecraft mod called sodium which is apparently like optifine on crack

So let’s give it a try initially it doesn’t seem that great only a 100 fps difference it turns out i was using the wrong renderer like an absolute bozo when the right renderer is active we get around 1400 fps at a render distance of 16 which is honestly

Kind of ridiculous but now let’s crank down the settings so we’re sitting at about 2 300 fps but you see all this grass and leaves and chickens and stuff that the game’s having to render yeah that is all reducing our fps and i will not stand for it

So to fix the game actually having to like draw blocks and stuff will fly up to around y250 and suddenly we spike up to 2900 fps but that’s still not all turns out if you switch to the old worse renderer gives you higher fps when not rendering anything

Amazing for a final touch we can also press f1 to hide the ui which gives around another 400 fps or so so that’s it right 3600 fps that’s the peak well no i decided to test this method on optifine assuming it would be worse because you

Know sodium is meant to be the best ah but no i’m getting 4000 fps why absolutely no clue but there you go 4000 fps in minecraft 1.16 so that’s actually it 4000 fps over 16 times the number of frames that my monitor can actually output incredible i guess now i should go do

Some ah flipping or something psych did you really think i would end this video on 1.16 absolutely not you see there’s this incredibly specific version of minecraft that’s even better every other version is garbage but this one is amazing minecraft rd 2009.05 and oh is it a beauty you’ve got the stone

You can mine the stone you can place the stone but best of all wobbly arm steve sometimes in the pursuit of frame rate you have to make some small sacrifices and playing on a game version that’s 12 years old is just par for the course but existing on this land mass is not

Going to give us optimal frame rate so instead we have to do a tactical exit and once we stop looking at the stone island you can see that we’re now getting a beautiful 4500 fps all right yeah that is actually the highest frame rate i was able to get

But there is always a higher frame rate so how would one theoretically get a higher frame rate than that well all this super high frame rate stuff is basically entirely bound to the cpu so you could overclock it but i’m not going to be doing that

I’m sure some chad with too much time on his hands will liquid nitrogen cool his 1 000 cpu in pursuit for 5 higher fps in a block game won’t be me though yet you could also mod the game into oblivion removing more core features and therefore making it even easier to run

I am too dumb believe me i tried so that’s about it from me i hope you learned something and if not i hope i have at least left you with a burning desire to maximize frame rate i’m going to go do some ah flipping or something i don’t know
