#1 I have a relatively good gaming laptop, acer nitro 5 radeon, yet minecraft is still running really bad. I average around 60 fps sometimes, and at times I go down to 1 or 2 fps. I have java installed correctly, drivers are up to date, and 4 gb ram allocated to minecraft with optifine. For some reason I still can't run it smoothly on 1.16. I don't know if this is an issue with my specs or an issue with the game, my friend has the same computer and runs it very smoothly for some reason.

RE: Minecraft running really slow on a medium end laptop 09-02-2021, 08:56 AM #6 I knew some Fabric mods that can increase your FPS a lot of times: Sodium, Lithium, and Phosphor, these mods are really awesome, and yes, I have tried them then it makes my Minecraft FPS to 1000+, I am not joking, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself.

RE: Minecraft running really slow on a medium end laptop 18-02-2021, 09:57 PM #8 There's many different factors when low FPS is involved. Make sure that you have every useless feature turned to it's lowest setting and your render distance at 9 or below. You may also want to check and make sure that all your ram allocation isn't being used somewhere else in the background for some reason. I remember when I was running MC with shaders (so I needed to have around 8 GB of Ram allocated) and I kept getting frame drops because I had some random apps running in the background.
