I have a garbage computer, it would be too laggy.


There are ways to reduce lag by a ton, even my crappy computer can play Minecraft with little lag.


I don't have to bad of a computer, but mine lags like crazy. What settings should I turn down?
Oh, I have a 15" Hp


Set Graphics to "fast", Set Particles to decreased, Turn smooth lighting off, turn clouds off. Try that and if it doesn't work PM me
