-XX:+AgressiveOpts = a jvm super-option. This activates other jvm flags. To explain them all would take a lot of time, but basically it enabled optimization and increases cache size.
I'm all-in for multicore support. My rMBP has four cores and I think using at least two of them will certainly make things like loading chunks, resource packs, and opening to LAN/hosting a lot more stable. Balancing out the demands on the processor should prevent the game from bottlenecking.
Servers would benefit greatly too. Low- to high-capacity servers would be able to keep up in times of high activity.
Engineering it won't be easy though. I wonder if we would actually see it as a possibility now that Microsoft
of the League of Corporate Competition Killing and Anti-progression
could possibly lend more resources (money, staff) to make it happen.
I actually just installed MCPC+ to my Raspberry Pi and got it up and working today, but for some reason it failed after an hour and won't start back up. I had to use Spigot instead.
To get it working:
I had to install via NOOBS
I had to overclock it to the highest setting which may not be very smart for it (I hear that it can corrupt the SD card, which isn't a biggie, and won't hurt the hardware but I haven't seen anyone vouch for this)
I have to have it running without using 'startx' and had to give only 16mb to the GPU
I had to disable the Nether, reduce viewing chunks to 5 (4 may be better)
Forge Mods (with MCPC+)
Enchanting Plus
Bukkit Plugins (both MCPC+ and Spigot)
NoSpawnChunks
ClearLagg
TobyMotd (for our REI Minimap entities to show)
It's running 1.7.2 (fingers crossed for the Forge release of 1.7.4 soon) and it's doing a pretty darn good job.
Issues:
Entering the world or respawning takes 20-50 seconds of loading before the player can expect non-laggy gameplay. This means if they enter the world after the chunks load and immediately start breaking blocks they'll experience major lag. They have to be patient and wait before they can play in an almost lag-less environment
Damage takes a while to catch up. Even if chunks are loaded and a player can break items (dirt, stone, etc) taking damage from falls, fire, mobs, or creeper explosions don't process immediately. Combat is affected. However, once combat or damage is initiated it normally reduces the lag, but then breaking blocks takes a while to process.
Major mods have not been tested and likely cannot function with the RAM and ARM limitations.
I know this may seem strange to post on a seemingly dead thread, but it IS possible to do so, but in all honesty it likely won't suit your needs. You'd be better off finding a more powerful alternative if you can afford it. However, I will say that if you only plan on creative mode then your experience would likely be much smoother
Doing your own research rather than listening to a bunch of mouth-breathers?
I don't really understand the need for guides like this, or telling people to "go ask this 3rd party".
You look up parts like you would look anything else up when buying online, a mop, a TV, a book, etc. Once you choose some things if you need a 2nd opinion, go for it, but not in either of those subreddits. Blind fanboyism, bad moderation, and people who literally do not care are rampant.
Haha, nice opinion on Redditors.
Why go ask a third party? Because 3rd parties have hivemind bias. The bias here for parts and specs are different than other online forums. Looking up parts isn't simple and finding compatibility can be hard. Heck, even threads here conflict and argue with radically different parts for the same needed specs.
And quite frankly, blind fanboyism, bad moderation, and people who do not care are here too and submitting.
As someone who does some design work from time to time, please don't use Comic Sans, especially not for serious posts. No one would take you serious if you use the world's most hated font.
World's most hated? Really? Well then, change is in the air
Trust me, I've tried to use the search bar but it's congested with unrelated posts/mods/topics.
So I need a mod, hopefully one that doesn't conflict with existing ones, that will allow multiple disabling of mods. For example:
Installed Mods:
REI Minimap
Galacticraft
FinderCompass
Minema
One of these conflict with Minema's recording abilities. Obviously I want to use one or all when I won't be recording, but it's a pain to manually remove and replace when swapping between profiles.
i can assure you it is not rei's minimap it is normal that it flickers with the minema mod installed. (atleast so far for each version i had it did that)
Hmm. Then it's either the FinderCompass or Galacticraft. Maybe I'll make another profile with Forge just for recording and have it exclude this for testing. Thanks for that info!
no idea! you are on mac right? i have no idea how it works on mac but try uninstalling all mods and then add one by one each mod and see if it reoccurs
I'm going to try that later today. I had a similar issue back when Mods didn't rely on Forge. If I find out which I'll post it up so people can resolve similar issues
However, I'm guessing that since it did record video that ffmpeg is working. The flickering minimap may be a clear indication of it interfering
This thread isn't meant to be a "come here to get all you need" guide but rather a list of sites that may help a range of people finding the type of pc that they're really going for. I'll list a few here that I know of and explain their use and target audience.
Penny-Pinchers
Full-size towers, US-based prices
If you're really focused on watching every dollar that you'll spend then this may be the site for you.
Logical Increments is a guide that breaks down many builds and makes it possible to see what control you have on hardware step-by-step. For those that are really keen on controlling their budget down to the dollar they'll find this to be a good start. It utilizes both AMD and Intel chipsets and has alternative parts that can be substituted in per build/level. It does have a simple guide to explain parts and their uses, as well as whether or not they're necessary depending upon your needs. It's a good start to get an idea of what you want and clicking on parts takes you to the cheapest vendor.
However, hardcore enthusiasts and experienced assemblers may not like how restrictive it may seem. Also, for those who want more "discreet" builds, this may not be the site for you.
The Skeptics (Or Dubious)
Full- and mid-size towers, International
Some of us are skeptical about whether or not what we pick will actually work best together. In fact, sometimes parts won't fit or may be sub-par compared to others. When in doubt it's best to get a second opinion from those that know better.
These sites will require an account to post (and please be mindful of the sub-community reddiqute) but the members are active in the community and will collaborate to help you optimize a build that suites your needs. Please be descriptive about what you will use it for, the budget you're aiming for, and anything you own that will be dependent on specific hardware (monitors, external drives, audio setups, etc).
The Enthusiast
All-in-one, International
During my time in the Philippines a colleague was helping to consult me about looking into a PC build. While the budget I thought to have had diminished quickly as I returned for college, he did provide a website that is known for community collaboration in creating guides for building PCs. It is highly in-depth and has a great link to an internal guide on overclocking. For those that really are tech-savvy and are looking for great peripherals as well to be paired to their build, this is the site for you.
NeoGaf regularly builds new guides to stay up-to-date and keeps everything comprehensive. They even cover keyboards, mice, headsets, and full- to mid-tower sizes. If you want to have a "discreet" tower build then don't pass this up!
If anyone knows of a site that would go well with these, please post them so I can review and add them! While there are already some pinned guides, the more we cover the better.
So I installed it today and put ffmpeg in my bin folder (and I enabled execution with Terminal). However, while it does run the video doesn't record properly. Not sure if it's a software issue from my OS or from Minecraft possibly due to other mods.

I'm running OSX 10.9. I wouldn't think it to be an issue with the OS but likely within the ffmpeg (I did download the correct one for Intel chipsets)
Any ideas?
