 Description   

Take a look at the fps while you're aiming with an enchanted bow. The fps will drop so much that make the game so annoying.

Also, when you're looking nearly at an enchanted item, it does the same thing.

Take a look at the screens.

Possibly fixed in recent snapshots.
Someone else who had this issue should also check for it in the snapshots.

Comment by Itouch2 [ 27/Aug/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 1.8-pre2? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Jono [ 27/Feb/14 ]

Confirmed in 14w08a.

Note that this bug does not seem to affect my laptop with Intel HD 3000 Graphics. I personally have only seen it on NVIDIA and AMD graphics.

Comment by Christoffer Tibell [ 27/Feb/14 ]

A good way of testing this, is to hold an enchanted item like a pick, sword or bow, then stand next to a wall or atleast close to it. Press your change perspective key (F5) to look in 3rd person towards yourself, then aim so that your view goes into the enchanted item.

Yea i dont know why but I think this is an Open GL issue that we are currently expirencing... However there is a fix for this in 1.6.4 called Fps + mod that fixes the freeze and lag issue

Comment by Caleb Miller [ 18/Dec/13 ]

This is happening to me still in 1.7.4. It doesn't just drop my frames, it just totally can freeze my client.

Specs:
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3.30Ghz
Radeon HD 6850 @ default clock speeds (CCC ver beta 13.11v9.5)
8GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz
120GB Intel SSD
Java 1.7.0_45 64-bit

I can provide more details if needed.

Comment by Bob Bobert [ 10/Dec/13 ]

Still present in 1.7.4 prerelease.

Comment by Patrick Gorman [ 08/Dec/13 ]

Still present in 1.7.3 pre-release. I'm usually at 30fps and I drop to 20 when I select an enchanted sword or potion.

Comment by Jeuv [ 26/Oct/13 ]

Probably graphics card related.

Comment by Bob Bobert [ 25/Oct/13 ]

Still present in Minecraft 1.7.2.

Comment by Jono [ 18/Oct/13 ]

Confirmed in 13w42a.

Comment by Jono [ 05/Sep/13 ]

Confirmed (for me, at least...) in 13w36b.

Comment by Jono [ 01/Aug/13 ]

I was using that driver (307.83) when I made the crash report, and when recording the video.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 01/Aug/13 ]

@Jono

OpenGL: Quadro NVS 140M/PCIe/SSE2 GL version 3.3.0, NVIDIA Corporation

Please try with the latest driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-notebook-winxp-x32-307.83-whql-driver.html or http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-certified-drivers.html (don't know anything about nvidia Quadro NVS...)

Comment by Jono [ 01/Aug/13 ]

I can still confirm this in 1.6.2, as of July 31.
Crash report attached.

And, I've also created a video to show the problem. I feel that screenshots don't really show this bug well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tQWZ9MYf50
Note that my framerate is usually higher, but Fraps limited my fps in the video to 50fps.

Comment by Bob Bobert [ 31/Jul/13 ]

crash report, because i am affected

Comment by Mohammad [ 31/Jul/13 ]

I will send you the crash report ASAP.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 31/Jul/13 ]

Can not confirm.

	Minecraft Version: 1.6.2
	Operating System: Windows 7 (amd64) version 6.1
	Java Version: 1.7.0_25, Oracle Corporation

	OpenGL: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series GL version 4.2.12217 Compatibility Profile Context 12.104.0.0, ATI Technologies Inc

Can please anyone having this issue force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report (minecraft/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt) here.

Comment by Bob Bobert [ 29/Jul/13 ]

Odd, because even if you set the enchanted_item_glint.png to be a transparent texture, it will still cause an FPS drop when holding/using it. Very strange, hope this gets fixed soon.

Comment by Nick Hayes [ 28/Jul/13 ]

Confirmed in 1.6.2.

Charging with a regular bow (not enchanted) does not alter FPS significantly.
Charging with any enchanted bow drops MY fps by 30.

Comment by ZambiblaisanOgre [ 16/Jul/13 ]

This is an extremely annoying problem, as it interferes with so much of the gameplay, especially on PvP servers when it is vital to get the aim correct, but lag gets in the way of that.

Comment by Jesse Cumbia [ 16/Jul/13 ]

@Brutally It sounds like you installed the file correctly, I have heard in some cases the file doesn't make an effect on the game. I'll try to figure it out.

Comment by Jesse Cumbia [ 16/Jul/13 ]

@Trent Try deleting your META-INF folder from your minecraf.jar. This may help.

Comment by Trent Daniel Hyatt [ 12/Jul/13 ]

That temp fix would make me incredibly happy, but it crashes my Minecraft. The Mojang loading screen flashes and then I black-screen.

Comment by Brutally Honest [ 11/Jul/13 ]

@Jesse Cumbia

How do you install that file? I droped it in my jar file like he said on the thread, but its not taking effect and removing the glint.

Comment by Jono [ 11/Jul/13 ]

@Jesse
Worked liked a charm, thanks for those links!
It will have to do until an official fix is made.

Comment by Jesse Cumbia [ 10/Jul/13 ]

Yeah, it seems even worse in 1.6.2. A friend sent me some .class files that removed the enchanted glow from all items.

Thread: https://oc.tc/forums/topics/51dc4a56ba6087ea1100252b

This should remove the glow which causes most of the lag. It's a quick fix until this bug can be fixed.

Hope this help,

Comment by Jono [ 10/Jul/13 ]

This is still in 1.6.2.
I have the optifine preview for 1.6.2 installed and this issue is not fixed (as expected).
I also did some more testing. My average framerate is around 60-70 fps. If there is an enchanted item on the screen, the framerate drops to 40-50fps. if an enchanted item takes up a large view of the screen (drawing back a bow, drinking a potion, standing right beside mobs with enchanted armour, etc) the framerate drops below 20.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 10/Jul/13 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Brutally Honest [ 09/Jul/13 ]

Currently in 1.6.2. Charging an enchanted bow was not an issue for me in 1.5.2, although I did have optifine installed. I'm slightly confused because of reports that people installed optifine as an attempt to fix this, but optifine did not help the matter in their cases. Right now in 1.6.2, I do not have optifine currently installed (1.6.2 version not available yet).

Due to much evidence from others, I am assuming that once a new version of optifine is released and I install it, it will not fix the lag I get from charging an enchanted bow.

In a world I will run at a steady 30 fps, but once I pull back my enchanted bow, I drop to an fps ranging anywhere from 8-14. This is a major problem, and in my case, literally makes using an un-enchanted bow more effective than a "super bow" (i.e. Power 5, Flame 2, Punch 2, etc.) or any other enchanted bow for that matter. Obviously, the people who experience this lag from enchanted bows are at a huge disadvantage to the other players who can use very powerful bows without lag, which allows them to maintain accuracy and land shots on enemies. Accuracy with a bow is extremely difficult and sporadic when Minecraft runs below 15 fps.

Comment by Trent Daniel Hyatt [ 03/Jul/13 ]

Yup, Still a problem in 1.6.1, It's making a large portion of the game Un-playable.

Comment by Jono [ 02/Jul/13 ]

Playing 1.6.1 today... I got right in the face of a skeleton who happened to have an enchanted bow and the frame rate dropped very quickly.
This bug is very annoying...! :/

Comment by Daniele Carbone [ 27/Jun/13 ]

Very annoying... I'm not more able to play bow fights with enchanted ones...

I've also noticed that the "glint" will affect the "in-deep" pixels of an item (I'm not english and very bad with it). And this effect was applied in 1.5, I think, I can't remember.

Comment by Jono [ 21/Jun/13 ]

Confirmed in 13w25c.

Comment by Abster Mahbub [ 21/Jun/13 ]

I still get this problem, I also have tried removing the glint effect from my textures, its with any enchanted item! PLEASE FIX!!!

Comment by Trent Daniel Hyatt [ 20/Jun/13 ]

Still a problem in 1.5.2, I'd like for this to get more attention, it's crippling a major aspect of the game for some people. My FPS drops from ~60 to <15.

Comment by Jesse Cumbia [ 29/May/13 ]

I am still getting this problem, anyway to fix?

Comment by Jacob Spivey [ 29/Mar/13 ]

This also happens with Potions. Anything with the glint effect surrounding it seems to have this problem.

Comment by Jono [ 19/Mar/13 ]

Confirmed for 1.5.1 pre-release.
It has the biggest effect is in full screen.

Comment by Tails [ 26/Feb/13 ]

I'm getting a lag spike when dropping an enchanted item, confirmed.
