FOR FULL MODLIST GO TO CHANGELOG.


Raid dungeons with powerful weapons!
Travel to new dimensions!
Explore and defeat powerful bosses or encounter unusual mobs!
Go mining in dangerous caves for 110+ new ores!
Farm your way to sustainability!
Explore the wide variety of magic and enchanting!
Build beautiful structures with many new block types!
And so much more!

For a long time, I have disliked packs such as Electricians Journey, Tekkit, and Ftb, mostly because they include too much technology. (No offense, just my opinion.). Everything is done for you. The tech forces you to stay in one place. Would you rather explore dark, musty dungeons, explore infinite caves, travel to new dimensions, and build treehouses in some of the biggest trees you will ever see, or would you rather sit around your factory, eating cookies and making little circuits? If i wanted that I would do it in real life. I would get a ciruit set and a glass of milk with oreos. This is Minecraft. A game. Something to have fun with, not play around with wires and pipes. Defeat huge bosses, hijack a pirate ship, and fight on the top of a tower that towers above the clouds. You decision. Stay lazy and make machines, or go on a huge adventure.

Best part is, it is FULLY SMP, and if you have signed up for alpha trials already, thank you for your feedback. Those who have helped report bugs and have signed up early will be the staff group and be admins on the server, and get free Capes!!!!!! (Custom!!)


LAG?
Due to the SHEER amount of mods and world gen going on, there WILL be some lag. This is what comes with the beta release, and most will be resolved by version 1.5.

For now, here are some tips on how to resolve a HUGE amount of lag!

Don't - Have any other programs open. Many people like to have multiple programs open but, duh, this uses more cpu and ram and will slow down Minecraft.

Don't - Leave your laptop unplugged. This don't is for laptop users so desktopers can skip this. Laptops are preset to perform less when unplugged to save battery. Leaving it plugged in won't boost your fps much, but it definitely helps. You can also set your laptop in the power settings to basically blow your fuse box and set performance to max. This may cause your computer to heat more though, which can hurt performance.

Do - Play on "fast" and "tiny" graphics, turn off clouds, and use Advanced OpenGL! This is the easiest way to get more fps. What do they mean exactly? Well "fast" graphics changes the leaves from see through to solid, and subtly changes water and grass. Having see through leaves makes the computer render more, killing fps. Fog reduces how much the computer renders. You can't see as far the more fog you enable but you'll more fps. "Fast" and "tiny" are for the worst computers, giving you the most fps possible. 24 FPS is good for most people.

Turning off clouds is easy, just the click of a button. It could help you a lot, so just give it a try!

Advanced OpenGL seems to confuse many people. What it does is enable occlusion culling which is fancy talk for saying it's not going to render what you can't see. Provided your graphic card/drivers are compatible. In some cases this can even double fps (Very rarely triple). But if you are using an integrated chipset (I.E. Intel GMA) you cannot use it. You can also set performance to "max fps", "balanced", and "power saver". Choose Max Fps.

Turn off All animations. Fool around in the video settings until you see Animations. Press "All Off".

Don't - Use texture packs bigger than 16x, which is the default resolution.

Do - Defrag your hard drive. Over time the files on a hard drive will become fragmented, which is exactly like what it sounds like, they just spread around your hard drive like wayward ants. It makes the hard drive run slower because the part that moves around and reads the hard drive has to move all over the place instead of just one small area. A simple run of the Defrag tool on your computer will fix this and make your computer faster (see the quote from ThatCanadianGuy if you don't like the default defragger on windows for some reason). It's recommended to run it once a month to avoid slow downs. It depends on how much you use your computer. It is recommended that you run disk defrag about once a month. This is because defragging puts a lot of strain on your hard drive, causing wear and tear.  
Note 1: DO NOT defrag solid state drives. There is no need to run it on them since they don't have moving parts.
Note 2: The more stuff you have on your hard drive the longer it will take. So it can last anywhere from an hour to an entire night.
Note 3: Linux uses the ext4 file system which does not need defragging, so this tip does not apply to linux users.

Do - Download the newest Java. If you already have Java then update. Each JRE (Java runtime environment) is usually better than the last since they fix bugs and improve efficiency. Note: There is a very slight chance it can hurt FPS. Google how to downgrade back to the Java version you had if this happens.

Do- Use the second texture pack. (Not sphax). This will improve fps by alot.


MORE: Notes ( i suggest you read these )

Before using this guide, you need a software, called WinRAR, every mod comes in a ZIP file, which WinRAR can read, without this, you can't get mods, WinRAR is free and it is a great thing to have. type in WinRAR on google and go on the first link.

If this tutorial has sped up your Minecraft considerably, i would be greatful if you could share this, or make it more popular so others can get a better Minecraft.

I have looked at, maybe 20 or 25 article on this topic, some have been helpful and some not so helpful, I have gathered all of the useful information and used some of my own experience to attempt to give the best way to speed up your Minecraft, tutorial.

My Specs and how much FPS i used to get.

Before i get started, before i did all of these tricks. i have 8-10 FPS in a normal world, 3 when looking at a jungle and 16-20 when looking at the sky. My specs are

Intel Dual Core 1.6ghz processor
2.5GB of ram
Intel GMA3100 Graphics
and thats really all you need to know

How to speed up Minecraft

1) Get Modloader, and Optifine. (get a edition which you think suits you best)

Reason: This gives me a massive 10-20 FPS boost, so instead of the 8FPS, i get 18, i know its not a lot, but its a improvement. this trick alone will not MASSIVELY speed up minecraft, but it will help a lot. i reccomend using these settings, i will touch on the other settings a bit more later.

Chunk Loading: Smooth or Multi-core
Fog: Off
Smooth FPS: On


2) Allocate More RAM to minecraft (TWO WAYS)
Now, before you tell me "I HAVE TRIED THIS AND IT DONT WORK!", there are two proven ways to allocate more ram.

Before assigning RAM to minecraft, you have to note that if you allocate too much, it will slow it down, and too little with slow it down also, play about with the values until you get good FPS and faster world loading.

a) (For official Minecraft) Get Magic Launcher, and go on Settings,Advance and there should be a value in a box saying 512, change that to how much RAM you want to allocate, i reccomend.

1GB Of RAM: 512mb
2GB: 786mb or 1024mb
3GB: 1024 or 2042
4GB: 2042 or more.
Dont allocate too much unless you have a massive world save(s)

b) (FOR MINESHAFTER) the only reason i do this is because allocating RAM to Mineshafter is a easy and true method. it will always work with no errors.

1) open notepad.
2) Type this code in java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar "Mineshafter-proxy.jar" change value to how ever much RAM you want to allocate
3) save it as Mineshafter.bat
4) put it in the same location/folder where your Mineshafter is, then click it and you now have more RAM for minecraft.
This only works if your internet connection is on.


3) Don't ruin your Minecraft by setting it to tiny and fast graphics, you can play on Far and Fancy with a solid 30FPS, and here's how.

There has been a lot of hoobla about "dont put it on Vsync, it slows it down" and well, yes it does, only if you average around 50+fps... well i'm assuming we dont, so here are the setting that i use on my PC and i can run minecraft at 32-40FPS
*you need optifine for this, HD B4*

View: Far or normal
Fog: off
FPS: Vsync
Graphics: Fancy
Smooth Lighting: 100%

Now i know your like "um, if my computer runs minecraft slow at short, why will it run better at fancy and far?" well, it lies on the Vsync, you see, Vsync keeps a stable FPS that matches your monitor framerate so it doesn't overwork the monitor... thats probably not right but thats my guess :)

NOTICE, Vsync is only effecting on Normal and Far.

If you are not fussed on what the tree leaves look like, i would seriously suggest putting the tree's to fast, they are on of the most FPS costly things on Minecraft


4) DO NOT SET MINECRAFT ON "Realtime" PRIORITY!
Lots of people think that doing this increases performance, well it actually makes it worse...  you are putting too much strain on Minecraft so it crashes more often. Don't fiddle with the priority, keep it default.


5) Try not to run other applications while Minecraft is running
Try not to run anything while Minecraft is running, because it puts a lot of strain on your PC, so try to just run Minecraft.


6) Update your Java and LWJGL
Just simple get a new java.
get a new LWJGL and replace the old one in you bin folder
this increase your performance a little bit, but its worth it.


7) Use RAMDISK and other apps that help game performance
Using RAMDISK really helps Minecraft a lot, it helps with world loading and massively increases FPS. a lot of people reccomend GameBooster. though i have not tried that myself.

8) Enjoy a smoother Minecraft!

if for any reason this did NOT speed up your minecraft, please comment. you don't have to follow the settings exactly, tweak them a little to suit your PC.


This guide was made for Low to Medium performance PCs, if this does not work, then please take a look below at the other ways to speed up minecraft.

1a) Get more RAM (Cheap)

It is simple and easy to get more RAM, not only will it speed up Minecraft, but it will speed up your PC too, i got my RAM for £10, and it is the older type of RAM (DDR2) so it is more expensive, the newer RAM is cheaper and faster, and it can hold a lot more, so why not get some. i seriously reccomend this if all else fails.

2a) Get a Graphics card (Can range from cheap to expensive)
You don't have to spend a fortune of a GPU, get a cheap one for £30 and i bet you it will make Minecraft run smoother. though if you are opting for a expensive GPU, do your reasearch, it pays to know whats expensive and whats cheap, for the price. I can't really reccomend a GPU, because i am getting a new PC (not for Minecraft :P) and i am getting a fairly high range GPU. and my current PC only has a Intel GMA (fail).

3a) Get a new PC (expensive)
this is the best way to speed up Minecraft... but it cost's :(
be careful what you buy, do some reasearch on it so that you get the ideal PC for Minecraft
