Ever since 1.8 came out I have been getting lag so much I can barely even play MC anymore. I have a computer that's I got sometime in June, and its REALLY good so I know it isn't the computer's fault, also my computer doesn't lag on ANYTHING else. Can anyone help (please don't give links to weird websites that want me to download something to fix the problem, I mean legit ways like messing with the settings)?
i got the problem as well, but Optifine changed it all, now it is still laggy at some point when i play the game for a long period, but it is good most of the time
Hey just mess around with the options (video settings)
1. Try turning your render distance down
2. turn your graphics from "fancy" to "fast"
3. turn clouds off
4. Turn your particles to "Minimal"
If doing that didnt work then i suggest doing number 5
5. you can download optifine (a mod that makes your game run better) Here is a link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1272953-1-8-1-optifine-hd-b5-fps-boost-hd-textures-aa-af
