Minecraft Live has been and gone again and this time there was some pretty big news. Vibrant Visuals was announced as a future major upgrade, which will bring some fancier looking graphics to Minecraft.

    Minecraft java currently is really laggy, this looks like a nightmare to run on low to mid range devices

      Longtime java player with a decent PC and I always played with cartoony texture packs and saved the high res textures and shaders for screenshots. Still encountered my fair share of server-side lag, but that’d the price of multiplayer. Glad to see Java isn’t getting left behind. I play on Linux and couldn’t play otherwise.

      From what I understood on the recent "live"stream, it can be turned off.

      But as others have said, there are many performance mods that don’t change the core game experience. Getting those set up can be a bit of a chore, even if you choose a different launcher that manages them for you, but it can be worth it.

      Until very recently I had Minecraft Java running smoothly on a PC that was 13 years old. 1st gen i7 with a similarly aged Nvidia card.

      …and I still run the same mods on the new PC. Saves energy, and reduces fan noise a bit, so might as well.

      Do use use the mod called Sodium? Vanilla Minecraft Java has bad performance issues that are fixed with Sodium. I’ve tried Vanilla minecraft side by side with minecraft + shaders and sodium, and even with the shaders, sodium made it smoother.

        Yeah, have you tried the simply optimised modpack too? It is really nice.

        Still tho, the issue is really vanilla, they haven’t fixed it, sucks performance wise
