FPS (or milliseconds per tick [​MTS] as another measure) depend on an intersection of hardware and software: C++ has [​oftentimes] advantages in computing efficiency over java (but experience indicates the java language version makes modding easier); on the otherhand java MC is run [​largely] on desktop computers (which generally have higher performance hardware than many of the platforms to which MC was adapted {a process that produced the BR 'ancestor' versions}).

FPS can also be strongly influenced by the graphics processing (which may or may not be handled by the same hardware a handles the 'actual' game): this is the main reason I tend to look at keeping MTS low as being a more fundamental measure of performance (Combat and rapid movement, however, can make FPS response critical.)
