I'm new to the Minecraft game. I like to think I have a high end gaming rig, but it seems I'm having issues with getting the game to run quickly and smoothly. I've been playing with all the video settings but when I set the Render Distance high I always see texture building in the distance and it takes awhile to finish. I'm also getting sporadic lag which is annoying. Is this because the game was optimized for consoles? What about the Super Secret Settings that I can't seem to access from the main menu? My 780 doesn't even break a sweat when playing. I've looked at dozens of "How to optimize your Minecraft game" but they are all about turning down settings and not about setting the game up to play on a high end rig. Any tips on how to set this game up for the PC welcomed?

I haven't a clue about the game but I have noticed textures filling in while playing BF3 at times and also in Far Cry 3 & 4. I will be walking along and suddenly a tree appears out of nowhere to block my path. I have to think it's a driver issue.

It could be a driver issue. I'm not sure if Java is still needed to play Minecraft optimized and I've read that Java is no longer needed to play the 1.8 version of Minecraft, but that may not be true for a 64bit operating system. Java was needed in the past and I just installed the latest 64bit offline version of Java and will see if that makes a difference.

I had some improvement playing the Far Cry games by changing the NVCPL settings for 'Texture Filtering' from Quality to High Quality. Not in the Global settings but for each game.

make sure you're allocating more memory for the game.

I suggest getting optifine, it's an optimization mod and opens up a lot of other video options.
Add this to JVM arguments to allocate more ram this is 2gb adjust to your needs: -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M

make sure your gpu power savings is set to performance. Or more than likely the card will downclock itself.

I have yet to play MC. Maybe with 4K textures at 640 res!
I should give MC a chance though.

Make sure you grab some high res texture packs

4K or go all balls for those 12K textures with a 50inch 480p TV.

I was being sarcastic! I actually been playing MC abit on XBone "Nice being able and stand when gaming", differently not a controller game. And even more surprised on how many hours/depth you can put into such a simple fun game. With my adhd, I don't spend as much time as some to to have done, just wowz on some of the depth some have put into their MC worlds. Now, let's see something between " HL, Serous Sam, MC meets Capture The Flag in a co-op vs co-op game"

This might be a little off topic, but did any of you guys try out Planet-explorers? If so, how you would relate and compare that to Minecraft? Better? Worse?
