So I got Minecraft and I have a laptop. So I heard the higher your fps the fast it runs so my fps varies from like 1-106. And I lag like balls but on my little brothers computer his fps is like in the 20's and he does not lag at all. I don't get it and we both have 4 GB of ram. Please help because I bought this game and I wanna enjoy playing it but I can't because all the lag)
How to make Minecraft less laggy on PC?
There's a few things you can try:
You can change your in game settings:
Graphics - Fast
Smooth Lighting - Off
You can install Optifine:

Simply run the installer and load the Optifine profile when on your Minecraft launcher.
You can try dedicating more RAM to Minecraft, by default it is set to 1GB, for you I'd change it to 2GB but it won't make a huge difference. Ideally you would want to upgrade your RAM. You can find out how to dedicate RAM here - http://www.minecraftforum.net/...-minecraft
Also avoid using texture packs, they will slow down your game more.
4GB of RAM is really not enough even if you aren't playing games. Boost that 8GB - it'll help EVERYTHING you do with the laptop, not just Minecraft.
Unfortunately that's about the only thing you can do. Laptops can't have their CPU or graphics chip upgraded. So if you're still having problems with 8GB of RAM you'll have to consider buying a whole new laptop - preferably one with an i5 or i7 processor and an actual graphics card, not an integrated chip.
Just turn the render chunks all the way down… It usually helps… If not, lower graphics or install some weird optifine mod that every minecraft nerd knows about.
