Minecraft is such a particular game that improving performance is all about doing a few things as basic as its graphics. It’s not much of a mystery, however, your PC’s poor performance could be due to factors outside of the game itself, so we’ll try to break it all down.
How to Improve Performance and Get More FPS in Minecraft
Well, as we say, there are certain tricks that can improve performance, so first we go with those that correspond to Minecraft itself, then we go with those that correspond to the hardware itself.
Delete Windows Temporary Files
They are a host of issues, especially between updates to the game itself. To do this, right-click on the Windows button, click on run and type:
“%temp%”
After that click on accept and what you will see on the screen is a folder with temporary files. We’d tell you to look for the game-specific ones, but that’s a laborious and unnecessary task in most cases, so delete any files there whenever Windows allows. Normally, if you have any programs open, it is convenient to close them to improve deletion.
This will partially avoid some game performance issues.
Minecraft Graphics Setup
There’s not much mystery here, as there are only a few very basic settings. What we will have to do once we are in the game is press Esc and enter the video options and then the graphics.
Once there, the options to configure are simple:
- graphics in QUICK the fast.
- Dim lighting at Minimum.
- Render distance to Minimum.
- OpenGL and quick.
- Loading blocks en Multi-core.
With this, the performance should have increased by a few FPS, but we still have to configure the operating system, if it is not already.
Gain performance with Windows
There’s not much to do here beyond the two options available and beyond the next section on AMD and NVIDIA drivers. The first thing we have to do is defragment the SSD or HDD, and yes it is necessary in the first ones since TRIM is activated and this can be part of the problem.
To do this we go to Computer, then to our hard drive where the game is installed (it must be the same as the operating system so that we do not have to leave the SATA or PCIe to search for information), we let’s right click on the icon of the SSD or HDD tower, then we give the properties, the tools tab and we give the optimize button.
We defragmented all disks and closed. The next step is to verify that Windows 10 game mode is enabled in system settings -> games -> game mode.
Finally we can assign CPU resources to Minecraft if necessary, in some cases it really is, but the game mode that we have just activated should take care of it
AMD Driver Setup
It’s not complicated either, we will only have to access the shift driver we have, go to the performance tab at the top of it, then down in the second row to the Advisors and finally select the Games or Standard profile and right after and below, click on see world charts.
There we will have to mark the following parameters:
- Radeon Boost
- Radeon Image Sharpening (It is not mandatory)
- Radeon Enhanced Sync (with some AMD GPUs this may not work properly.
It’s not an exact science of course and on some computers it might get worse instead of better, but for the most part it will work fine and we’ll see a nice jump in performance.
NVIDIA Driver Setup
In NVIDIA it is even simpler and although the game profile can be modified to further improve performance, the truth is that if we do not know what to touch and on which computer we can cause more damage than solving the problem.
That is to say, the configuration can be so customizable that determining specific options must be done on each PC and not in general, because a Dual Core processor from 10 years ago is not the same than a current-gen Core i3, or a graphics card with 5 years old than an RTX 30.
Therefore, we enter the NVIDIA control panel and we will go to “Adjust preview image settings”, which is the first section of the configurator. There are two possibilities here:
- let the decision 3D appswhich in this case is Minecraft itself.
- Use my preference with emphasis on a -> performance.
Both options are legal and again, depending on the PC and its configuration, we should obtain more or less superior performance. Normally, the second option usually gives better results, but it’s all up to you to try.
