Message:: [QUOTE="monktiger, post: 53301, member: 1501"]Edit - May not work for macFound 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% [ATTACH=full]3912[/ATTACH] .minecraft should be first on the list. [ATTACH=full]3913[/ATTACH] 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. [ATTACH=full]3914[/ATTACH] 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'sso you will need to keep renaming them.[/QUOTE]
