How to make Minecraft run faster: (For Laptops, I'm not sure of anything else)

1) Open Minecraft, login and leave it. (Dont close it)
2) Right click the button on the corner where it says the time and date.
3) Click ''Task manager''.
4) Find a file called ''javaw.exe'' (Btw its in processes)
5) Right click it, open ''set priority''
6) Click ''High''
7) Done!

It should work for most Laptops, but it may not work for all.

Like this: first press Control+Alt+Delete
           then press task manager
           then go to the processes tab
           than find the javaw.exe process
           right click it and click set priority
           and set it to high
           WARNING: Never set the priority to realtime that will ruin your processor.

Hope this helps!

If you do this and your minecraft overexceeds your minecraft client will crash and you will be sad so just be careful of running too many thiings at once if you decide to do this!

Well i tried it. However my laptop was running minecraft on highest settings already so it didn't really change. I didn't break anything so im happy.

What did the priority change do?

Yup thats right also check your RAM anything below 1 gig uses to crash with the hight priority

It gives more "power" to the task you selected (minecraft)

ah! ok.

This works on Desktop PCs as well. But just to warn others never to be tempted to set priority to 'Realtime' as this causes system instability.

This method works very fine for me to improve performance for my game and my server :
