Well this sucks. The new updates and mods require higher specs then my laptop can handle. If I try to explore, it lags to no end. What the heck do you have to do to ramp up the requirements that much???

Minecraft isn't coded too well, and a lot of mods increases the amount of RAM used, for one. If you have lots of mods that add new blocks to worldgen, generation of new chunks is probably slowed down a great deal too, etc etc

Additionally, Java is a bit of a resource hog by itself.  I've seen it demand similar memory and load to basic Minecraft for programs that were objectively less complex.

Micro102, have you tried dialing down your render distance?  That might help a little with performance.  My kid had turned it up to 16 for working on some large pixel art offline, but didn't turn it back down for our vanilla creative server.... was complaining about framerates until she remembered.

Yeah, I tried setting it to tiny, tried exiting out of firefox which was using up 0.5 GB of RAM..... but after exploring in creative mode it ended up taking multiple minutes for the game to start loading the chunks around my area. merely walking on land loading chunks makes fighting impossible.

I don't think it's RAM as exiting out of firefox doesn't show a noticeable effect and while minecraft is using over 1.5 GB, and I have a total of 4 GB with plenty of RAM to spare. The problem seems to be the CPU. It is constantly running at around a full core's worth of power. Sometimes dipping over into 60% processing power       (I have 2 cores)

It sucks to be forced, but my sister used to only be able to play reliably on SMP before she got a decent PC.

Are you running optifine? It may help with the CPU load.

[Niveras]

I had some issues with chunk loading (and lots of "corrupted" chunks) even when running optifine, when playing Technic pack and a 32x (or maybe 64x? I forget) texture pack. I ended up having to scale back the render distance (I used to set it up to "Far"+something, +64 maybe?, now just "far"), and all chunk loading problems stopped.

Of course, I am on a PC. While it is not particularly powerful, it might be better than your laptop; to wit, I could probably run my preferred render distance if I wasn't using a texture pack, while you may have to scale down your render distance even if running vanilla.

   If the lag is only happening when you explore new terrain there was some thing around which would pre-gen the world for you. I think it was for servers so they wouldn't lag from having people heading every which way. I can't remember what its called but if you can find something like that at least it would remove the exploration lag as long as you stay within the area you generated.

I lost a quarry on the server, if anyone finds it, I'd like to know.

Map for pixelmon, if anyone's interested.

A pixelmon server? I might be interested.. Should anyone make one.

[Kadzar]

I haven't downloaded the map to look at it, but does it have things like machines and shops put in? Because I looked at Pixelmon in the past but was turned off by the fact that you apparently have to create all the infrastructure of the world by yourself. That works for most of Minecraft, but just seems really weird for Pokemon.

RE: Interest

I have never and likely will never enjoy pokemon/pixelmon/whatevermon crap.

So no interest here. But its cool that the mod approximates it so well.

Sorry about the double post, but I found this in a mod called 'the creep'

What the living fuck is wrong with these modders?!

You'd think that someone who plays MINECRAFT would know better than to try and copyright words.

You know, the Minecraft modding community was horrible for as long as I remember, but it's gotten way worse since the moderators, in all their 'wisdom,' decided to force the modders to include a Terms of Agreement.

Which is funny, since if I remember correctly, there are many ToAs which failed in court.

[Niveras]

I can't imagine how many annoying adlinks I'd have to filter through if modders had to finance legal fees in order to pursue violations against their spurious terms of agreements.

I suspect that the people who are egotistical and defensive like that (Minecraft modders) don't actually keep up to date with Mojang's blog in any way.
