I've been playing MC a long time and this started happening a couple of days ago. Mid-2010 iMac. I have 9 GB free RAM and 650 GB free disk space when I play. OS X 1.9. I manually cleared the Java cache, then ran MacKeeper. I totally deleted my Minecraft directory, including MCPatcher. Then I ran vanilla MC, but the problem persists -- it is:

Intermittent lagginess of everything, both movement and control keys, including ESC. It happens about 6 seconds out of every 10 seconds. And, when I quit MC, it takes several seconds, whereas previously it closed right away.

Poltergeist?

Thanks!

The last few weeks there have been many times when I released the 'W' key but kept on walking. The same thing happens with jumping, but it isn't as dangerous. I press ESC twice to stop.

It doesn't happen often, but it affects everything! It is so disheartening to be wearing your best diamond armor and carrying your best diamond tools or weapons and then walking into a pool of lava or off a cliff because walking didn't stop.

Is there a solution?

Thanks so much!

I think it would be totally great to have railroad switch tracks... pointer straight ahead to go straight, or right or left to turn. Railroads are a lot of fun in MC!

A better clock would be really nice!

You sound like an amazing player, so congratulations. But we all play differently, and a lot of people do not like the zombies.

I guess you said that... that's all. I'm not angry about it, just disappointed.

As a player that almost never dies, I never found myself having so much fun a when I popped the 1.6pre jar into my bin folder. Having the single least threatening mob upgraded to be the #1 threat puts real difficulty back into the night, as survival is supposed to be. I play almost exclusively on Hard and since I'm a miser I avoid wearing armor until mid-late game entirely.

Yes, zombies are easy to kill, but that isn't the point.

-- It is easy to accumulate numerous XPs by just standing inside a fence all night and killing the zombies as they come. You could, of course, ignore the free points and go out hunting, but that is just weird if you're trying to do the best you can in the game as it is.

-- Hunting other mobs is nearly impossible, since you spend almost all your time killing zombies.

Stronger mobs is fine, but MORE does not equal STRONGER.

Hunting, which I have always enjoyed, is ruined in 1.6.2. If Mojang doesn't remove or significantly modify the zombie apocalypse "feature", my Minecraft days are nearing an end. At the very least, I will not update again.

A zombie spawning behind you out of thin air is not realistic.


Use that word correctly.

I agree. It's very important to have realistic zombies!

I love hunting, but the hordes of zombies in 1.6 make it impossible to hunt other mobs, like Endermen. I have a fence around my house which I stand inside at night and keep hitting zombies until they stop coming, which is usually close to morning. Zillions of EPs and no challenge at all. I changed our server back to 1.5 and will not update until the zombie situation is changed. Mojang is great, but they blew that one, IMO.

I love hunting. I have a different weapon for each type of mob. But lately I've had to use hardly anything except a cheap sword. When a night starts I stand inside the fence around my house and whack zombies with until they stop coming, then pick up zillions of unearned EPs. There are so many zombies that it's impossible to hunt anything else, especially Endermen.

I think harder mobs is fine, and I like the way the zombos come from all angles. But there are too many, and it ruins hunting.

That is the best texture/resource pack I've ever seen. Awesome work! Thank you!

I have tried some different textures and in many of them the clock does not work. Currently I'm trying "LB Photo Realism x256 9.0.5" and the clock is completely non-functional. (I have upgraded to OptiFine_1.5.1_HD_U_C6.)

Is there a way to get the clocks to work?

Thanks!!!
