Minecraft for Windows is lagging

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Minecraft game.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please update drivers. Make sure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. This can significantly improve performance.

And then adjust In-Game settings. To do this, kindly lower render distance. Turn off fancy graphics and smooth lighting. Reduce particle effects and set max framerate to unlimited.

Next is to allocate more RAM. Open the Minecraft Launcher.

Go to "Installations" and select your version.

Click "More Options" and adjust the JVM arguments to allocate more RAM (e.g., -Xmx4G for 4GB).

Then close background applications by using Task Manager to close unnecessary programs that might be consuming system resources.

Kindly optimize Windows Settings by disabling Game Mode in Windows settings.

Turn off Xbox Game Bar.

Adjust power settings to "High Performance."

Both Minecraft and Windows should be running the latest versions. Check updates for the game and as well as your system.

If the issue persist after performing the steps, upgrade Hardware (if possible). If your laptop struggles despite optimizations, consider upgrading to an SSD or adding more RAM.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Makap, how are you?

First of all, be sure your Windows 10 and your drivers is up to date.

After that, if the problem still occurs, you can open the Resources Manager pressing (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and check if something else is consuming your CPU/RAM

Hello, thanks for the reply. It worked for a few minutes, but once I created a new world and started playing to test it, it started showing some weird bugs, like lag spikes, randomly teleporting the character, and finally a windows crash. It's like Minecraft is messing with the windows internal files, and it's causing it to crash. I play other games like Honkai impact 3rd and Elsword, and I don't have any problems with those, I also use the minimum video settings on Minecraft just to make sure it will perform well.

Idk if getting completely rid of Minecraft and reinstalling again will work. The window error code that I got is CRITICAL PROCESS DIED.

Update; Lagging in single player offline game

Minecraft is only game to load, but takes 15 minutes and lags while offline
