Great I updated mine to 1.5 by accident and now cannot get onto the server.. anything I can do?

this is why I use MultiMC it gives me pretty much full control of my minecraft instances (version, mods, etc.)

Well just updated to 1.5 and realized that the texture packs that I use run like **** on minecraft with or without optifine. Until I can get that worked out I don't think I'll be running minecraft at 10fps. There just seems to be an all around performance hit on my computer. I get about 40 fps on my computer with 16X16 textures. I should be able to get 60 soooo...yeah.

Have you tried setting Smooth Lighting to minimum?

They added "Maximum" which uses the new lighting engine which fixes some lighting bugs at the cost of fps.

backed up my saves and running a new profile....same thing. It's a 20fps hit at least. I have hybrid graphics and I checked to make sure it was using ati. It runs worse with the intel graphics. I was using a 128 resolution texture pack at a solid 35-40 fps and now its struggling to make 10.

...oh, and smooth lighting didn't really make a difference.

I'm going to try this on my desktop later to see if my standard ati card fares any better.

I get the same fps drop with 1.5 on the computer in my sig. I use MCPatcher though, and that puts my fps back up from around 11 to around 70-120. I talked to the maker of MCPatcher a few months ago and he said it was due to some serious flaw in the MC coding for animations or something of the sort. Anyway, patch it up with MCPatcher and I'm sure you'll see a world of difference.

Edit: You should also note that the difference graphics cards will make is not as big a difference as the CPU will make. This game is much more CPU intensive than it is GPU intensive.

It could be down to the packs you are using, Minecraft changed the way it handles textures now. Each block now has its own .png file and fully supports animation, sizes and a block reverts to default if your pack isn't updated for a new block yet.

It's not fully supportd even though It says for 1.5 on the website. I'm thinking it's the animations bug.

It's not just the texture pack that's the problem, it's on the default pack as well. Guess I just need to wait for things to get updated or use MCpatcher instead of optifine.

....yeah I just verified that mcpatcher fixes the issue.

.... might not want to use their texture pack converter though.

fixed. I selected "detect texture pack changes" and repatched.

stability issues with mcpatcher I'm using a newer version of optifine that fixes the issue. The issue is in minecraft though.

I'm still waiting for them to fix vsync, every so often something "breaks" and it decides that it should render at 120fps, which kicks my fans in a bit.

Then again I'm still waiting for them to do chunk processing in a separate thread so vsync will probably take a while.

Jeb acknowledged the issue on Twitter last night; I'm sure he'll be busy on the Minecraft Subreddit trying to track down the core issue here.

yep, he just released a pre-release for the performance issues

you can do chunk processing in a separate thread, with optifine. been doing that myself since like 1.2

I can't tell if he was just working on improving the performance of the new lighting system or the problem with block rendering. The lighting engine isn't a problem for me as I see zero difference in fps when switching between Maximum and Minimum. It seems the real problem is that the game is rendering all blocks multiple times, so when you use a high resolution texture pack, or one with CTM/random mobs, etc. it gets REALLY bogged down. I'll do some tests tomorrow when I'm on my desktop to see how my performance is with the new snapshot. I should also note, a lot of people have had a big improvement from turning Advanced OpenGL off.

^ honestly i don't see much difference visually from having the smooth lighting on maximum or minimum either. the only difference i see is when it's on or off

either way, i hope the new snapshot fixes things for you

K, its on 1.5.1 right now.

Try not to build today, but go ahead and test things. If everything works for the most part, will leave it be. If not, I'll have to revert back.

So feel free to find bugs :p its live now.

    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows

      By zikalify · Posted

      VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By dirtyvu · Posted

      I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
