Complementary and the reimagined version are good options. Sildur's Enhanced Default is nice if you want more frames. Also, don't use OptiFine, use Iris shaders, it runs significantly faster.

It's possible that when you update from driver version to version, that something can go wrong. I think that might be what happened here. So using by DDU, you can completely remove every trace of the GPU driver, and thus, all the bugs that they may be causing. Then you can reinstall the latest driver. This tutorial will work.

Instead of going to msconfig to disable WiFi/Ethernet, you could also simply either unplug your Ethernet or open your WiFi on taskbar and turn WiFi off from there, just make sure that it says Turn Wi-FI back on Manually so that it stays off through your reboot. Also, another way of booting into Safe Mode is by pressing Restart while holding Shift. It'll show a blue screen with some options, choose Troubleshoot, then advanced options, then startup settings, then it'll ask to restart. There will be more options and you can then press f4 to boot into Safe Mode. His tutorial should work fine though.

Aight yea download and install DDU. There's plenty of tutorials on how to use it. I'd recommend to first download the latest Nvidia drivers and leave the exe ready to go on your desktop. Then, turn off/unplug your WiFi/Ethernet before booting into safe mode (this is to prevent windows updates from auto installing older GPU drivers after running DDU, DDU should temporarily disable them but just an extra precaution). Basically you boot into safe mode and run DDU, it'll clean uninstall your GPU drivers. Then, reboot back into windows and install GPU drivers. WiFI/Ethernet can go back on after. Hopefully this will clear up the issue, lmk.

Is this a recent issue or has it always been like this? You could start with freshly installing Minecraft and OptiFine (delete .minecraft folder). I have a feeling that you'll have to use DDU to uninstall GPU drivers and freshly install the latest driver after. What GPU do you have? You can check by pressing windows key + r then type dxdiag. Under Display: tab beside Name: will be your GPU.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, I was amazed at the fps gain too, it was as if I had upgraded my GPU. Hopefully more features come quickly! Also, do you mean editing a config file when you say LIB?

Use Iris & Sodium. Sodium on it's own doesn't support shaders but Iris does. There are some limitations with it; you can't customize shader settings and less shaderpacks support. Complementary shaders works flawlessly with Iris however, I personally use it and I get 2-5x more fps with it than with OptiFine. It's really easy to install as well, installs like OptiFine does.

Yea performance on Java ain't great. Try running Sodium mod, it's leagues better than OptiFine

Can't really go wrong with any first party Nintendo game. Crawl is great, though it's much better with 2+ players rather than single player.

EDIT: regarding the link above, pretty sure emeralds are 3 xp, not sure if comments give xp anymore, I don't think xp is earned from discussion posts (that would be the emerald) and lastly, profile views do not reward any xp. Xp for sure comes from submission views, diamonds, downloads, favourites, and emeralds.

EDIT 2: looking at your xp, I've come to the conclusion that forum threads reward 1 xp (not including the auto emerald), I did the math and it adds up to your xp total. Maybe I should make an updated forum
Discussions/General Is math discovered or invented?

It depends on how you define math. If you're referring to universal laws/physics, then it was discovered. If you're referring to how we write/verbalize it, then it was created. For example, when we invented the clock, we didn't invent time. Time already existed, the clock is just our way of measuring it. Same thing for mathematics.
PMC/Discussion What texture packs do you use?!?

Vanilla Tweaks for low fire and shields mainly, also I just simply like default textures. I used to use Faithful a lot, but not lately. I love Feather Song and Dragon Dance, but sadly they stopped getting updates. Sphax is alright and other realistic 128x+ packs are cool, but I tend to just stick to more default textures. Default 3D is pretty neat, I might check that out again.

It's cherry. Minecraft Wiki 1.14 19w08a "The texture of cake items have been changed, this time to have a large cherry in the middle to match its block counterpart."
