Why does Minecraft run so poor?

[Andybtsn]

Hi guys,

I never bought my laptop for gaming purposes but my daughter is obsessed with Minecraft so we play it on the LAN. I didn’t have many issues with my laptop running it until she decided to introduce a fair number of animals etc to our world! Now it runs so bad. I can’t even see anything getting maxed out in task manager so not sure why.

Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15-7000, i7, 1050 gpu, 16gb ram etc

It runs off java, so hardware makes little to no difference.

If you're running vanilla, try the windows store version if you have it as it used to run better than the java one on my old PC. I know you used to be able to claim a key, from mojangs website iirc, for a copy of the W10 version.

How many animals?

Too many entities will slow up any system due to the way Minecraft is made.

Maybe a little culling is in order when she isnt looking!
