if I run Minecraft with OpenJDK 6 or 7 on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine, it eats nearly of the CPU and I have lags during minecraft gameplay.

What I have tried so far:

  • start minecraft with something like java -Xmx2044M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft.jar
  • Using recommended Nvdia drivers
  • Using latest beta nvidia drivers
  • Tested minecraft with both openJava Versions (6/7)
  • Switched between Unity 2D and Unity 3D
  • Verified that I am using the latest graphic engine that is used by Minecraft (LWJGL)

My machine is an AMD Phenom 955x using Ubuntu 12.04 with a Nvidia GTX 275

Until now nothing changed the bad performance of minecraft. Suggestions are much appreciated, thank you in advance for any help!

  • Did you try this answer: http://askubuntu.com/a/20906/7035 that is what saved me from that problem. Specially the part about the libraries. Not so much about the parameters needed for the java command. – Luis Alvarado Nov 23 '12 at 18:40
  • Yes I tryed that already - That is meant by "Verified that I am using the latest graphic engine that is used by Minecraft (LWJGL)" What that guy is talking about exactly the procedure to update the LWJGL to the latest version. Thanks anyway :) – Grrbrr404 Nov 23 '12 at 19:53

You could try using OptiFine - it's worked well for me in the past.

The SSP mod also works very well; Minecraft singleplayer now runs as a shell of SMP (thus enabling LAN connection), and this mod allows Minecraft to run like it used to, just as pure SSP.

  • Thanks for the advice, but did not help much - CPU Usage dropped from 125% to ~110% after i haved turned off most of the effects. I think it is not a graphic related problem – Grrbrr404 Nov 23 '12 at 20:19

    @Grrbrr404 Have you tried using Sun/Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK? – ananaso Nov 23 '12 at 20:29
  • No I have not, because it seems no one else could solve it by installing Oracle Java - I have not found any confirmation on the web. And last but not least openJDK ist officially recommended by oracle for linux systems - Thats the reason why I would like to stick with openJDK. Thanks anyway – Grrbrr404 Nov 25 '12 at 08:44
