Ever since I got my Lenovo Y700 I've had problems with minecraft. Now, granted, I am that annoying person who makes 500+ command block programs (the vanilla version of modding) on minecraft and then complains about the speed, but I can't even get an expected speed on a brand new, freshly generated world. It's faster, but still not as fast as it should be for such a beefy computer. The interesting thing though, is that if I run the same command block filled world on my old computer (a really low speck mac mini), it does beautifully. there's very very rarely a lag spike and i can actually do things. Also, after running some tests, I found that although its still achingly slow on my intell graphics card, its 2-3 times better than when I'm running minecraft on my nvida Geforce GTX. Which if you know anything about computers, is very backwards.
There's the problem, you allocated all 4GB of your memory, do you see the memory: 100% on the right hand side of the screen? Try allocating only 1-2 GB if your PC only has 4GB.

You are misinterpreting the data. That screenie shows that the heap is at maximum size. It doesn't tell you how much memory the computer has, that's on another screenie (16G). The heap is at max because of the JVM parameter -Xms=4G (starting heap) coupled with -Xmx4G (max heap).
Your indirect point is true though, it looks like that much memory isn't necessary.
Yeah. As far as I understand, my computer has 16GB of ram and I simply allocated 4GB just to see if it would help anything. but it obviously shouldn't need such a high amount. especially since my old mac can run on 2GB 30 times faster. So I'm really not sure how to go about solving this.
Thanks Matthew, but not only have I already tried this and optifine, I shouldn't even need to think about lowering my video quality. My computer should be capable of running with full render distance, HD textures, and mods, but it cant even run without any of those.
Have you updated drivers or are you using your laptop straight out of the box? While you do have an above average laptop graphics card (gtx 960m), it may actually be using the Intel HD graphics despite saying it is not.

What are you looking at?
Try lowering the settings:
-Render distance: Tiny
-Use VSync: Off (to increase performance)
-Smooth lighting: off
-FPS limit: Unlimited

Moderatoroptifine is not a fix all solution, please stop just suggesting it, it you don't know how to fix an issue please don't post just saying to use a mod
Resolved above as I edited it. Does it sound better for this issue?

Curse PremiumHave you updated drivers or are you using your laptop straight out of the box? While you do have an above average laptop graphics card (gtx 960m), it may actually be using the Intel HD graphics despite saying it is not.
Running 4K resolution at 17 chunk distance, on a laptop, is the problem.
That would be a hefty task for a desktop, forget about it on a laptop.
Reduce resolution or render distance!
