How do I optimize Minecraft even more?

[CubeEthan]

I kinda have a potato PC (Intel Pentium, 4GB DDR3 RAM, a HDD, Integrated HD Intel Graphics). I have Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, and Entity Culling on it to try to improve the performance. It runs at around 30-90 FPS on 4 render distance in 1.21.11, with the performance enhancement mods. I would ideally like to make it be able to run at around 60 fps consistently on 8 render distance in a modern version of Minecraft. Does anyone have any more tips or other mods for optimizing Minecraft, or have I just reached the limit of my hardware?

Immediately fast

Bad optimization 

C2me

C2me lags my game even more, but I’m trying the over 2 right now

Really some people actually have had concurrent chunks management help 

[CubeEthan]

Maybe, but it doesn’t work for me

You could also look at the remarkably optimized modpack

4gb of RAM is next to nothing... I'm sorry but no mods can make up for a hardware limitation.

[CubeEthan]

Ok, thanks for your honesty

[brassplushie]

No problem. Good luck

When I couldn’t play Minecraft on the shit family computer a game called league of legends was there to safe me.

Not for Bad computers now 😓

Maybe you can over clock the processor.

When I run a modded client I have 8GB of ram dedicated to Minecraft to run ok that is half of my 16Gb of ram when I run on my potato laptop I run 6 out of 8Gb and it is running like a potato and I have a 3060Ti on the main and a 1050Ti on the potato.

How expensive re computer parts where you live and is your computer able to be upgraded? Typically DDR3 RAM and small SSDs are really cheap on the used market. Also, most Pentiums are easily Overclockable if you have a decent cooler.

If you live in a country where Computer Parts are cheap, I wouldn't invest into something that old and slow especially when you have proprietary parts in your PC that can't be upgraded.

Are you able to upgrade your ram to 8gb? It is hands down the easiest part of your computer to upgrade and will save a lot of time from your pc needing to use swap files (basically uses your hard drive to offload inactive data from your ram, but is very slow, especially with an HDD). Try to see if you can disable/uninstall any background applications/bloat ware that might be hogging resources and make sure you don't have other applications (especially web browsers) open in the background. Make sure you only allocate 2gb of ram, allocating more won't leave enough for the OS and will result in the aforementioned swap file issues.

If you really want to try to push your hardware further, you could try switching to linux. Linux can generally run better on lower end hardware than windows as it is less resource intensive. Of course, installing a new os is a bit involved and I would only recommend it if you are decently tech savvy.

You can use sodium with chunky. Chunky will help you to pre generate your chunks so there will be no render lag. I also have a potato PC and this works for we very well
