How to check your FPS

Option 1: While in a Minecraft world press F3 which will bring up your debug screen, FPS (frames per second) are listed after the Minecraft version at the top left.

Option 2: Bring up the options screen, select Snooper Settings, and look for 'fps'.

Increasing your FPS
  • Turn down your render distance (default keys: F3 + F. You can also press ESC and change it under options.)
  • On a Windows, open task manager and go to the proccesses list, find javaw.exe (the minecraft program), right click it and set its piority to high (NOT Real time, this will cause all other programs to crash.)
  • Increase the amount of RAM for the program
  • Put .minecraft in a solid state drive/Flash drive so programs can be loaded faster.
  • Set in game graphics from Fancy to Fast
  • Turn off smooth lighting
  • Do not run other programs while Minecraft is open
  • Turn off Aero in Windows Vista/7
  • Disable compositing (= desktop effects) on GNU/Linux (Compiz, Kwin, Clutter, etc.)
  • Check video card drivers and make sure antialiasing is turned off in the global settings.
  • Hold down TAB. This will show the online players. (This only applies for multiplayer.) If there are a lot, this may be your problem. Try playing on single player.
  • Looking at the sky has also been known to increase FPS.
  • Find ways to cool down your computer, this case is more rare but happens to some computers and laptops.
