"Cinematic" as in intense mouse smoothing and acceleration? Try going into your control settings, setting a key for cinematic camera (I use F8), and then try using that.

Going by your 960m, I'm guessing you're on a laptop. Does this happen with the trackpad? External mice?

Please post a DXDiag log (instructions in my signature), so we can see your system specs.

Also, how much ram do you have dedicated to Minecraft? Try running around a bit with F3 turned on and see if the lag is happening when your allocated memory usage is maxing out.

FPS fluctuates a bit normally if you do not have vsync on anyway (which it looks like you don't), but the reasoning for the general FPS increase is it's simply less things to render onscreen at a time.

The hotbar (likely a png), and the selected hotbar slot (again, likely a png) both need to be rendered on screen, and is another couple "steps" or lines of code, increasing the time between each frame.

Now, I wouldn't think it would cause a 30fps increase like it did here, but that depends on a lot of things, (and the changed camera angle may have had something to do with it)

No problem man! Yes, if you order the parts separately (to build it), it would come in parts. You'd need to install everything. I'd do some research so you're comfortable with it, but it's really not too difficult. (I've put together quite a few, 2 for myself, and I'm no engineer)

As for the build, this is what I'd recommend:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor ($197.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($92.99 @ B&H)
Total: $681.62

This is better than the prebuilt I posted, and for less (price may vary if you get them all from someplace like Newegg or Amazon). You'd just need to put it together.

If you can spare another ~80$, I'd absolutely recommend throwing in an SSD like this:

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-240GB-SDSSDA-240G-G26-Newest-Version/dp/B01F9G43WU/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

It'll definitely improve the loading times and boot speed of the PC, but it's not required solely for gaming.

A Mac will run Minecraft (possibly not all mods), but for best compatibility (and if he intends to play other games), I'd suggest a PC.

A rough budget for it would be useful, as well as whether or not you'd be comfortable building a PC, but this is a decent midrange I'd suggest.

(You'll likely get more bang for your buck if you build one, though, and I'd be happy to put together a parts list for you)

Good modern 6 core, 3.5ghz R5 cpu

4gb GTX 1050ti Well above enough for Minecraft, should even do shaders just fine

8gb Ram, enough for most modern gaming

2tb 7200rpm HDD Not as fast as an SSD (though one can be had for around 60$ nowadays), but ample storage

And it comes with Windows 10

This same build could (most likely) be had for cheaper if it was built, however.

Here you are!

Edit: Ninja'd

Not entirely sure what context these are in, but it seems like this:

minecraft:foot_size: Seems like the size of each "step" in blocks. EG: .5 blocks will make each step go half a block, 5 blocks will make each step go 5 blocks, etc.

minecraft:friction_modifier: Looks like it affects the "slidey-ness" of whatever it's applying to. Lesser values will (probably) make the entity slide more, as if on ice.

minecraft:ground_offset: Seems to be how high off the ground the entity will actually be. The blaze, for example, floats a little bit off the ground even when "standing" on it.

Define "console that you host". Are you hosting a minecraft server on your pc? Do you SSH into a remote server?

What OS are you running?

I should've mentioned, but take note that installing this like normal will erase the existing harddrive, and any installation of OSx on it. (This goes the same for Windows and *nix). It is also possible to install it to a secondary (or even external, but performance may degrade) drive, to have the original os left intact. Then, you could just choose which to boot to.

But the ideal situation for this is the computer gets permanently turned into a server.

Running it on the mac? Should work. So long as you can boot a USB drive on the computer, it should work fine.

Heh, all the time...

Oh yeah, also when I play singleplayer.

Yeah, like Titan said above, I usually have music/videos playing.

It's a big empty world out there in MC afterall

You can't easily launch MC directly, as the launcher calls a bunch of other things when it starts a version, but you can easily launch the exe version simply by executing it:

CMD:

"<gamedir>MinecraftLauncher.exe"

Or, the old .jar launcher version with:

CMD:

java -jar "<gamedir>\Minecraft.jar"

(replacing <gamedir> with the path to the files)

Never heard of the "ABS" brand, but for those specs, the price is fantastic. It looks like there's also an aftermarket Zalman cooler onboard, which means you'll likely be able to squeeze out some overclocking if you want to from day one.

I don't usually recommend used computer parts, however, it looks like it would still be covered under Newegg's 30 day policy. (Note that they mentioned that they cannot guarantee it comes with every accessory, so it may be missing a stock VGA cable or the default driver cd, nothing you can't get elsewhere or online)

What I'd suggest, then, is that when you get it, make sure everything works (all the ram, all the cores, run prime95 for a bit), check temperatures on things to make sure the fans are working as they should, and then do an internal check of the PC. Clean it out if it's dusty and look for any bad signs.

But yeah, for the price, that's a solid computer. My friend's got a 1070 and it seems to handle everything he plays fantastically, and that's just with an older i7 3770k.

Of those listed, definitely the 1070 one, for the price, that's pretty good.

i7 7700 is not overclockable, however, and it's not as good as it's "K" (7700k) variant, which has a much higher base clock of 4.2ghz, and can overclock. If possible, I'd say look for a PC with one of those in (or a 6700k as they're basically the same, the 7700k is just stock faster, newer, and hotter)

Ram is fine, it comes with one 8gb stick, which means you can go to 16gb later easier.

GPU, well, it's a 1070. It'll definitely get the job done.

Storage, a 1tb 7200rpm drive is nice, but it's really going to be the slowest part of your machine. Now, with an ssd... boot times in the single digits (for me on an 850 EVO anyway), copy/unzip speeds in the 100mb/s, games loading so fast you never get to fully read those loading screen tips, etc. Don't have to pick one up from that configuration, but I would definitely recommend picking up a nice 250gb SSD from Sandisk or Samsung eventually and putting windows on it (something like this).

As for warranty, it's really up to you. Anything "dead-on-arrival" is covered by Newegg, and CybertronPC is pretty respectable, so I can't imagine you'd have anything die anytime soon. (And besides, if anything but the cpu, mobo, or GPU died, it'd still be cheaper for you to just replace than the 150$ warranty)

I don't see any difference between the two screenshots. Have you tried a different monitor?
