Problem Description:

• Lag Spikes: The game runs at 500 FPS, but I experience brief lag spikes when new chunks are being loaded. These spikes last less than a second but occur frequently.
• Environment: The issue occurs in both modded and vanilla versions of Minecraft, with or without OptiFine and other performance-enhancing mods.
• Onset: This problem began occurring recently without any changes to the hardware components. The same PC used to run Minecraft smoothly before the issue started.

Hardware and Software Checks:

• • Reinstalled Java and Minecraft.
  • Disabled antivirus.
  • Updated drivers and Windows.
  • Checked for thermal throttling; temperatures were within normal ranges.
  • Ensured the game and Java are running on the NVIDIA GPU instead of integrated graphics.

Hardware Specifications:

• • • Processor: Intel Core i5-9400 CPU
    • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER
    • RAM: 16GB
    • Storage: 932GB SSD, 380GB free
    • OS: Windows 11 Pro (64-bit)
    • Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B365M-A
