Time for another weekly installment of Minecraft News, with David and Toby! This week, the intrepid duo talk about 3D Items, Firework Sounds, and more - check it out!
3D Items = Unbearable lag for those of us with average computers.
Not impressed.
Most of the lag is from horrid engine optimization (compare MC's speed with all the clones out there). Mojang was working on fixing those issues, but not sure what happened to that project. I think bits of the optimizations have made their way in, but there's a lot of work to do yet.
The new Redstone engine and the new Lighting engine (that vanished) are both part of that optimization. There may be other optimizations coming that have allowed for the 3D floating drops too with minimal impact (pure speculation on my part)
I hope there is a setting for these 3d items, it would cause a lot of people to lagg and this is a bad decision on Mojangs' part...
Do not fix which is not broken, instead... add onto it.
Oh man I wish I worked at mojang.
You only have 3d items in fancy graphics settings. Stop complaining.
wow they actually stole the mod 3d items ...... you can really find the mod somewhere in the forums.
WOW THEY STOLE THE MOD

WOW THEY STOLE THE MOD
Who cares? They didn't steal anything you derp. MineCraft is the property of Mojang and it was simply a mod using MOJANGS game. So don't be a such an idiot and stop crying
Why is everbody complaining about lag from these items on average computers? If you're on an average computer, you shouldn't even be able to use fancy graphics in the first place.
OMG How dare they take a good idea an implement it directly into the game engine when they've clearly stating they don't endorse modding until the mod API is officially part of the game!
Yeah, they should totally remove all the good ideas they integrated that came from the illegal modding community and start banning the modders instead.
Meh, anyway, clueless person aside... I'd rather they worked on the API and the graphics engine like people actually want instead of futzing around with fireworks that no one asked for and no one cared about until it was announced.

I agree with you! I personally don't find it necessary for 3d drops!

Agreed. That was the whole point of having high quality items on fancy graphics.

Now no mods are launched
And, it says the name of the item:

Modding isn't illegal.
