Even if you have an outstanding machine on which you are playing Minecraft, you still can install the popular Minecraft mod called Optifine. This mod is designed to improve and optimize the performance of Minecraft. Usually, the players who are still playing Minecraft on old machine install and get benefit from the optimize but it does not mean that it is not designed and developed for those who are not bent on heavily modding Minecraft.

Today, I am going to help you to find out a way to optimize Minecraft with the help of Optifine. Whether you are playing on an old laptop or powerhouse gaming rig.

Tips for Optifine Optimization
By default when you download and install Optifine the setting of the mod is already optimized. This setting has been suggested on the basis of the version of Optifine you have downloaded. Before you start changing the setting of Optifine, ensure that you play the game at least 15 to 30 minutes to get the sense and understand that what causes lag. This will give you an idea that which of the advantage setting you need to change, whether it’s about video, graphics or sound etc.

Also, the easiest way to optimize Minecraft with Optifine is to set the FPS rate to maximum even if it is higher than your monitor’s refresh rate. Normally, it has been suggested that increasing the FPS rate higher than monitor’s refresh could cause the problem because the extra frames will go unnoticed but there is nothing wrong to do this for the purpose of testing.
This will help you to see that how the DPS rate fluctuates without any artificial cap.

The second thing which you need to do is to make small changes in the FPS rate and play the game for few minutes every time you change the FPS rate. This will help you to understand that how the changes could affect your game.
