At least the high amount of chunk updates could be an indicator for a bug

@Marcono1234

General lag isn't really a bug per se, there is just a limit to what your computer can handle. This report is about complete freezes.

Can maybe reproduce and explain for

  • 1.8.1-pre3 I don't know if this is right, but with render distance of 12 and flying in creative mode and sprinting (ctrl), I get in the overworld a maximum of 450 chunk updates, but in the nether I get chunk updates up to even nearly 600, both in unloaded chunks (see screenshots), so I assume there is something going wrong in the nether

Unless you generate the chunks in the Nether, it will lag every 15 blocks. That's due to the massive over hangs. Dinnerbone said he is working on something to fix that and improve the FPS. And the Nether also lags because Java has to render 10,000 (Sometimes more) blocks every 5 seconds. That's why it lags.

move 15ish blocks, 1 second~ freeze, move another 15ish blocks, another 1 second freeze.. and so on, really annoying..
Can't stand to do anything that involves the nether

still happens

Comment by Dustin Alexander Rush [ 15/Jan/13 ]

umm. well.... I tried today,nether STILL lags

Comment by Matthew Salsamendi [ 25/Oct/12 ]

@EvilSeph
Presuming you know this already but FYI:

This issue is caused by an excessive amount of client-side lighting updates due to the amount of light-sources (lava) present in the nether. These updates (one per tick) are causing massive client-side lag during recalculation of lighting. This lag appears as spikes in frame-rate/render time.
There are several client-side mods available that resolve this issue while still keeping the full functionality. If you could look into these and provide a solution that would be awesome.

Please fix this. It is a major inconvenience. Thank-you.

@voi1452 please be respectful towards others or you'll not be permitted to use this issue tracker anymore.

@doublen1 please try and provide more (correct) information and keep it to one bug per report, thanks!

No text in the body. Two bugs listed in the subject. Not the best bug report I've seen.

Edit: looks like the bug report was edited after I made my comment. Looks better now.

Lag in the Nether is normal, since there are a lot of elements that need to be loaded. The level of noise is just you being DUMB. There is something called VOLUME that can turn the sound UP or DOWN!
