Edit - May not work for mac Found this little trick somewhere. I tested it by putting 50 chickens in a 1x1 area with water. First without the fix, then with it. There was major lag before, and now there is none. Step 1 - Go to your minecraft folder. If you don't know how, go to your start menu, look for something called "Run" and type in %appdata% .minecraft should be first on the list. If it doesn't bring you to what you see above and you see a few folders, go to the one called "Roaming". Step 2 - In your minecraft folder, go to the Bin folder, then the natives folder. Step 3 - In the natives folder, you will see 2 .dll's called OpenAL32 and OpenAL64. You may only see one of them too. Step 4 - Rename those 2 .dll's into anything. I simply added a 1 at the end of them both. In a recent video I saw, they said that updating the OpenAL program will help reduce the lag, however, I think renaming them doesn't reduce, but eliminates lag. Why does this work? Minecraft audio runs on the OpenAL. By renaming the .dll's, it forces minecraft to not use it and use what ever other option it has on your computer. (apparently openal sucks) (I could be wrong on why this works) Things to consider! I'm almost 100% sure that updating your minecraft will undo the renaming of the .dll's so you will need to keep renaming them.
Wow, this works, thanks! And also... .nitrous? Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler Hmm that doesn't sound like a hacked client at all...
As far as I know, updating only resets .jar and nothing else... Have had all kind of folders N shit there for months.
no... updating does reset your jar, but also adds things that aren't there that should be... i think... but it definitely doesn't delete folders. 'cept for the jar file.
After searching what .nitrous has to do with minecraft, it seems it was given from when I tried out a shaders mod for cool graphics. ^^ been busy. Do you even see openal in your minecraft folder? Go to your system32 folder (C:, Windows, system32) and check to see if you have a OpenAL32.dll in there. Ive read that people with mac had problems with this fix. Ultra fix to life...get a pc =D
Ultra fix to life...get a pc =D[/quote] Once you go mac you never go back and bajj, I've been using this since 1.3 screwed up the audio, it will update soon, easy to install, and does the job also, ORIGINAL MOD TITLE xD http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1414774-142smp-nosoundlag/
I did this, and all it did was take out an aspect of the sound. I tried both, but eventually just couldn't take it anymore.
Not sure what you mean by this. My sounds are the same. The only diff this does for me is stop the lag. You know, that major lag spike you get from mobs in water when you walk out of their chunk and stuff. Also, what do you mean by "tried both"?
