I tested this, setting the Minecraft.exe to use only one core( wjava or whatever the process is called ) generates visible chunks!
But on my computer it does not crash the game! ( Maybe only Intel CPU's? )
I rendered a few chunks with one one core, turned the other core to available and a must say Minecraft with Threaded Chunk-loading is so much smoother!
( I did the core switching while i was ingame, no crashing and it worked ( seeing as my FPS raised like ****!) )
It probably has something to do with the initialization.
Do you get CPU load on both cores?
I have AMD CPU :smile.gif:
Switching affinity to single core sadly sc***es sound, at least it does here :sad.gif:
Im looking forward for this version to be out, it really helps :smile.gif:
Anyway, a question to sp614x, what is exactly that BG Chunk loading? How does it change the way MC loads chunks and does it load more HDD and take more memory?
The background chunk loading uses a second thread which loads the world chunks while the main thread renders the world.
Vanilla Minecraft is loading the chunks inside the render loop. Different chunks take different time to load. A chunk full of air is very fast, a chunk with trees, grass and stone is very slow. Therefore each frame takes different time to finish and the lagometer jumps up and down like crazy up. Even when the average FPS is good, the spikes caused by the "heavy" chunks make the game choppy and skipping.
The chunk loading thread works separately from the main thread so on a single core CPU it can "distribute" the loading of one heavy chunk over several frames or it may load several light chunks inside one frame. This stabilizes the FPS and the game feels much more fluid. Average 30 FPS which are stable are playable, while average 30 FPS which fluctuate between 10 and 50 are not.
On a dual core CPU the second thread can work on the second core so the chunk loading should not cause any lag at all.
The background chunk loading does not use more resources or memory, it just organizes the loading process differently. There is a little overhead added by the thread synchronization, but it should be very small.
I LOVE this mod, but sadly, I can't get it because I messed around with a few of my .class files to make it so I can connect to 1.7.2 AND 1.7.3 servers. And I fear that if I download this mod, it will wreck my work, and also I don't no whether I should download this mod for 1.7.2 or 1.7.3.
1.7.3 totally effed up the game for me. I mean, I got a 8-core 3.2Ghz with a HD4870 and 4Gb's of RAM and by God it ran awesome with 128x texture packs before I came back for the update after a 2 month hiatus. It went from 120+ fps to 0-6. Vanilla was way higher and now is down to 30-40fps. I can't even begin to tell you how many ways I've tried to fix it. I like my mods and I like my HD texture packs, I literally can't play without them but I decided to compromise once I remembered this particular mod.
Miraculously it fixed the issue and the frame-rate went back up to perfection (I even wrote down the options I had set just in case) but the trade off was no Modloader and no Wildgrass. Eh, whatever. I decided to keep experimenting though, because I wanted to see if I could narrow it down from there and fix it without the mod. Well, I had to end up coming back to this and my 128x texture combo. Problem is: It's not working anymore. I'm not asking for any help or anything, personally I've completely given up with the volatile performance of Minecrafts recent code. I just wanna know if anyone else is experiencing these massive frame-rate-ratio drops.
More On Topic: Awesome mod, definitely solves tons of issues with the crazy performance ranges.

my frame rates started to drop on beta 1.3 ..... on 1.2 i could play perficly but it failed when i got 1.3, having to hit the fog button every five seconds even on tiny, found this, worked for one update, but now.... now IT MAKES MY GAME LAG MORE (if the maker of this can find out how this is hapining i would appreciate it verry much, before this mod made my game run so much smoother, (20 fps instead of 10 fps), but with 1.5-1.6 i get 15 fps vanilla and 7 fps with this mod...

Superb addition to Minecraft. Depending on map I get anything from 35-100% fps boost. On Skylands map I get over 100% (usually 40-50fps goes up to anything around the 115 mark) boost and that's with some settings on fancy in the independent menu, I usually play on fast option.
Very Very nice mod. Cannot recommend it enough.
Thanks =]
So...... Just wanted to say,
Advanced openGL actually helps my minecraft (before the mod), and when it's taken out,I notice slight lag. But, with the mod, I can't change the option to on. But I -know for sure- the advanced openGL option before the mod was helping my minecraft run a bit better.
Well I tried using both Optimine and Optifog in the package deal. I'm also using Modloader and Zombe's mods along with a little known mod called slime boots.
I love the new menu options, there's nothing better than having more options for running your game. Sadly though I have to report that although there was an initial increase to 7FPS it only lasted a few minutes before settling back on 2FPS so even this program can't resurrect my ancient computer. NTW, a new one will be forthcoming within the week and after seeing the options in htis mod I'll be using it anyway, maybe. Depends on whether it will still have any use with a fast computer that doesn't need the help.
HELP
My minercaft fps jumps back and forth from 43 down to 11 and then up again causing me to lag for a second then not.
Its really annoying and I can't fix it!!!
And these mods make my fps increase but I still get the same lag jump bug!

Enable the mod's smooth fps. It normalizes fps and keeps her steady
It probably has something to do with the initialization.

The main problem is that multithreaded programming is complex and hard to get right. Especially when using separate CPU cores. More info here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/sync.html

Ok, but until then, my method works.

Very Very nice mod. Cannot recommend it enough.
Thanks =]
Here's the settings I use. it works pretty well with the yogbox and the 32x texture pack I use
Video Settings
Animation Settings
Detail Settings
Used to get about 15-20fps with everything on lowest setting. But with this mod I can do everything maxxed out using fast OGL and get 25fps.
I am so amazed how well my computer can run minecraft using this mod, keep it up! see if any more openGL optimizations can be done!
Try disabling "Advanced OpenGL"

Have done so no results.
