Tweaks
Tweaking your game is a very important step you need to do before achieving the most optimal gameplay experience.Even tho optimization pack comes with some tweaks and settings applied by default,most important settings are leaved to the game's default options so everyone can choose their own options.So let's get into it,it is not that hard,trust me!
To acces the video settings,first go to the main menu,click on the options/settings button and then video settings,this will open the main menu for your video settings. 1.Graphics modes : 1.Fancy(default) , 2.Fabulous , 3.Fast
-For the best performance,choose "Fast",for the best graphics choose "Fabulous",for a balance between performance and graphics leave it to the default option(Fancy).
2.VSync : 1.On(Default) , 2.Off
-Turn VSync off.VSync limits your framerate to your monitor refresh rate,even if you can't really see a difference you should have lower lag spikes with vsync off.
3.Max Framerate : Slide it to the left until you see Unlimited,this will unlimit your FPS.
4.Other important tweaks to improve your performance,see all the options below and change them to your liking:
-Clouds : Off/Fast
-Particles : Minimal
-Mipmap levels : 4(for the best quality) , Off(for the best performance)
-Entity Shadows : Off
-Shaders Pack : None / You will get way lower performance with a shaderpack,but you may want those effects tho.
-Render Distance : 6-8 recommended
From the video settings menu,press on "Sodium Video Settings",this will open the sodium settings.
1.General Tab :
-VSync Off,Max Framerate to unlimited,render distance to 6-8 chunks.
2.Animations
-Uncheck "All",disabling this will remove all the animations from your game,making everything feel smoother and your framerate should increase,but if you want animations leave "All" on and disable only the animations you don't want.
3.Particles
-Uncheck "All",disabling this will remove all the particles from your game,giving you a better performance overall,but you may wan't some particles and again,choose only the particles you really want and need.
4.Details
-Disable all the details,and check only the ones you want.Disabling all will give you a HUGE performance boost and makes everything smoother,but everything will look like a legacy minecraft version(may be a benefit for nostalgia tho)
5.Extras
-Enable "Reduce Resolution on macOS" if you are using a device that's running Apple's macOS.This will improve the performance by halfing down the resolution on retina display.I didn't tested this because I don't got any apple device and I don't have time to set up a macos kvm.
Open your minecraft launcher,go into your profile options and scroll down until you find the java arguments,backup them and replace them with the ones on this wiki,change your ram according to your needs by changing -Xms(This is the minimum ram allocated to minecraft) and the -Xmx(This is the maximum allowed ram that can be used by minecraft).More allocated RAM may increase your performance,but minecraft is not good with huge amounts of ram,so this really depends on every machine,test out with different amounts of RAM and see the best results for your own machine!
1.Aikar's flags

We always recommend linux for minecraft,minecraft on linux just runs better and smoother,compared to windows I get 30%-35% more FPS and it is very stable,on windows i would sometimes get lag spikes,on linux everything is smoother,but we still wan't to give you some optimizations for your operating system.
1.Debloat your windows by installing a custom Win10 build or using this script to debloat your current installed windows :
Link for Windows Debloater Script
By debloating windows,some components and background services of windows will be removed or disabled,making everything feels smoother,not just minecraft,you will get more performance on every single game you play,this is a very huge performance boost.Or better switch to linux 😆
2.Debloat your NVIDIA GPU Driver :
By debloating your nvidia driver,you remove the telemetry & bloatware present in the driver published by nvidia,follow this tutorial on youtube on how to debloat your NVIDIA Driver,this..again.. will boost all the games,not just minecraft.
YouTube Tutorial On How To Debloat NVIDIA GPU Driver
3.System management & cleanup
You can also do some more things to make minecraft run better.This may not increase the FPS too much but will make minecraft boot faster and load/create worlds faster.
-
Delete files that you are not using from your drive
-
Update your graphics driver and debloat it
-
Defragment your drive using the Optimize tool present in Windows (Only do this if you have an HDD!Don't do it if you are on a SSD!)
-
Use the Clean Up tool present in Windows,make sure to uncheck the boxes that may delete some files you are using.
For improving your system performance on Arch Linux,we highly recommend you to check out those 2 pages from the arch wiki:
Improving Arch Linux system performance
Improving Arch Linux gaming performance
1.Change governor to Performance
- The performance governor for linux will always pick the highest p-state for your cpu,that means the frequency will always stay on the highest value possible when in use,this will increase performance overall on your system as this will push and maximize the cpu performance for all actions,without performance balancing or power saving features.This will increase your minecraft fps by 3%-4% from my testings and will make the game smoother,but your machine will consume more energy as it stays on the maximum frequency possible.Your cpu will also throttle faster if you don't have a proper cooling system.
Arch based distributions : read the Arch Wiki on cpu frequency scaling,as this can be different on most DEs - Arch Wiki Link
Debian based distributions : read the Debian Wiki on cpu frequency scaling - Debian Wiki Link
Fedora based distributions : read this ask fedora post on cpu frequency scaling - Ask Fedora Link
- If you have a newer Nvidia GPU model it is highly recommended to use the nvidia-open driver instead of the previous proprietary nvidia package.
If you're on Arch,we recommend you to check out this official arch wiki page for NVIDIA: NVIDIA Arch Linux wiki page
