This may be a random question, but could there be/is there an option to change the biomes that dogs spawn in? I don't see any dogs in certain modded biomes (mostly the ones where the biomes are in other dimensions, I have mod ID conflicts so the biomes spawn in the overworld, and no dogs sadly :P)

Like:

spawn_biomes

*dog_id*: *automatic_vanilla_IDs*, extrabiomes.autumnwoods (I don't remember the exact ID, it's just the only modded biome I remember off the top of my head, I'm not on my usual computer and this one doesn't handle mods well XD)

Also, LOVING THE DOGGIES!

should be in C:\tmp\ if i'm not mistaken. Defaults to that usually.

Ok, thanks!

Is there any reason I should get an FPS drop of ~50-60 FPS when using Optifine and opening F3? Currently running Forge 1.7.2-10.12.2.1147, ShadersModCore-v2.3.30-mc1.7.2-f, Legacy Java Fixer 1.0, and OptiFine_1.7.2_HD_U_D3, tested with none, internal, SEUS, and Sildurs's shaders. Average FPS ~80-100 (with Sildur's shaders a bit less, usually doesn't drop below 70). I have to Shift-F3 (Laptop keyboards yay! :P), which opens up the debug screen with the charts and stuff (I don't know what it's called :P). The drop is not as noticeable in pure Vanilla 1.7.2 (no optifine)- about 10-20 FPS drop. With just Optifine (1.7.2-HD_U_D5) I get about 50 FPS drop. I don't currently have logs (the last crash I got was on my old computer), but I can get them. I also get a very random error (doesn't crash game and doesn't happen on my old computer, will be shown when I get logs) that I have never gotten on my old computer.

Specs (if needed):

And my dad just used the mouse connected to the new computer and I had to retype and post this from my tablet because I don't know how to click with my mousepad, yay!

I feel like this is a dumb question, but where does my render save to by default? I've tried setting it to the folder I want it in and it's not there.

This works fine on my old PC (laggy but works). I recently got a new laptop and I can no longer find my files.

Yay! I can make sure my texture pack has everything retextured! It's nothing fancy (just a personal pack), but it annoys the heck out of me to have that one odd thing untextured (e.g. compass, clock, and other items that aren't used much in survival).

Thank you Q!

I applaud you, good sir or madame (as the case may be).

I have a small Youtube channel where I essentially play Minecraft for fun. At the end of ever video, I do say "If you liked this video, be sure to leave a like, and if you didn't, that's fine, I don't really care," mostly because I see a lot of hate about my FPS. "ur lagging girl you should quit Youtube" Lol no. (I may or may not have responded with a bit of a rant :3) I try to respond to every comment (I can't always do that as people have their replies off) and if I use another person's work (for example, I made a video clip with someone else's music and my outro is a song that allows me to use it but requests credit) I will credit them. I'm not an amazing editor, but I'm better than I was a year ago (I went from using Google+ HOA to record and no editing to using BB Flashback Express to record and Videopad to edit... I don't have enough money for anything better and I am used to them so I'm fine). I learned that Optifine, Fastcraft, and FPSPlus really do work (I have a horrible computer, so I can't run 1.8 worth a darn, but I still have a few 1.7 servers xD). I know I'll never be perfect, or the best Youtuber, or the most famous, but I do my best to make my fans laugh, smile, and just enjoy themselves. I do focus mainly on Minecraft, but I have played other games (most of which take an hour to load with my internet but I do them with friends :D). I do have family/personal issues that prevent me from uploading a lot, and I will address that if I have to leave for a while/cram whenever I can (for example, homecoming week, school, etc.) but I haven't gone super in-depth with my personal life (I've tweeted out on Twitter sometimes when I'm worried about my/my brother's safety and need someone to talk to, but I don't think I've ever gone past "help I need to talk to someone" or "don't be scared if I leave Twitter for a while." I once made a 2 hour talk video that actually told people something about me. I was extremely nervous to edit it (render) and post it... Then my computer couldn't even handle exporting from FBR to AVI format. xD It just wasn't meant to be. I try to do well with everything I do. I have issues sticking to a schedule (just due to PC issues... and the fact that I like to procrastinate), so I do a really loose one (e.g. 2 vids a week, 3 vids a week, etc.) if I can even do that. I'll do what I want with my channel, but I am open to suggestions.

I pledge to better myself, my channel, and Minecraft with every video.

Your point is correct, your reasoning behind your point is less correct. You lock it to 60 FPS because that's the minimum refresh rate found in monitors, 60Hz. The monitor will only refresh the display 60 times a second, so no matter if you're running with 60, 90, 120, 144, 200, 500, 1000000 FPS, it doesn't matter, you're only seeing 60.

That is only true if you're running a cheap monitor though. If you're using a 144Hz monitor, by all means crank it up to 144 FPS, the same limit is true, just instead of 60 FPS it's 144 FPS / Hz. The rule is you should match your FPS with your refresh rate, not you should cap it at 60. In some cases capping it at 60 looks worse than letting it go above, if you have a refresh rate over 60Hz.

Screen tearing, yes this is an issue with running a game above the monitor's refresh rate. 2000 FPS to 300 FPS, sort of, 2000 FPS to 300 FPS can result in tearing, but even without that spike in FPS running the game at 2000 FPS will result in tearing due to the fact that the GPU is pushing frames to the frame buffer much faster than the monitor is reading the frame buffer. If your GPU pushes a frame to the frame buffer mid-way while your monitor is drawing a frame, tearing can occur.

I run at MaxFPS and have never had an issue with screen tearing. I have issues with Forge and Optifine GIU flickering, but my F1 key also has a tendency to stick (or at least jiggle a little, which could cause the flickering). I've seen it in Vanilla too, but not as often.

And by Vanilla, I mean Vanilla w/Optifine.

1.7: No Optifine 10-20 FPS, record 78. With Optifine 50-100, record 148. I remember being shocked at these numbers, and most of them are just flashed for a secon when I hit F3 before plummeting back down to their average. (Tested on a normal world singleplayer creative mode, about 50-60 exploding fireworks nearby, settings not great but not horrible... e.g particles decreased, fast graphics, smooth lighting minimal and 1%, 32x texture pack which is the most my PC can handle without crashing, and all the stuff I really dislike off/super low.)

1.8: No Optifine 1 FPS, record 2. With Optifine 5 FPS, record 30. (Tested on a superflat with all settings as low as possible, default texture pack.) These are all if I can get it to load without crashing (so pretty much up to 1.8.4.)

1.9: 70-80 FPS, record 100 with John Smith (32x) THANK YOU MOJANG I CAN PLAY MINECRAFT AGAIN!

All of these are non-recording. In 1.7 and 1.9 my recorder does not noticeably affect FPS because monitor framerate is either 30 or 60, whichever one was lower and available in 2006 (I got my PC used in 2009, but the hardware/OS is from 2006 xD why Vista why). In 1.8, recording=RIP entire computer likes to die if I don't have everything else closed except for Mumble/TS (even Skype lags me a lot).

EDIT: After checking my refresh rate, my PC only has the option for 60 FPS, but I see no difference between 60 FPS and 30 FPS, which makes me feel like that setting is built-in to my OS because my monitor obviously does not use the full 60 FPS. I don't know for sure though. It could be one of those weird things caused by my eyesight? I have horrible eyesight. (I also don't see a difference between 20 and 30 FPS, as long as it's a fairly smooth 20 and not a fluctuating 20.)

Most of my major FPS drops on 1.7 and 1.9 are caused by internet issues (I usually only have 1 bar of Internet in tab list if I'm lucky :3), especially with servers. I can play 1.7 just fine on SSP/CSP but, as I said, my internet is horrible and I usually play offline mode because of it (I just unplug zhe Ethernet and load, then replug zhe Ethernet... don't ask me why I just did that accent... I'm a little crazy :3) so yeah! I can live without a skin, expecially since TeXTuRe PACKS ARE AMAZING BC THEY CHANGE THE STEVE SKINS! (I made a skin patch for myself and now I can't tell when my bro is using my account or not xD)

But yeah... I have a horrible PC.

This is beautiful!

I don't run across that many good 16x packs anymore (and by "good," I mean a lot of the ones I find are only updated for 1.6 or are used by so many people that I get tired of it after about 5 minutes). My computer is horrible and can't run anything on 1.8 (even default with all settings as fast as they go is about 5 FPS) without dropping my FPS more than usual. This texture pack didn't absolutely kill my computer! THANK YOU!

I get random OpenGL errors in the chat as well... OpenGL Error 1241: Invalid Value... What does this mean?

It mostly happens when switching to Xenocontendi texture pack (specifically a custom edit I use, which has the bricks texture messed up) in Optifine 1.8 HD U D5.

NARRATOR: Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...

RANDOM GUY: Get to the point! We don't have enough time as it is!

Okay, okay. Long story short, the world has been overrun by evil demons and you were selected to go take care of them. You will be briefed when you arrive. Hurry! We have no time!

I said that already!

Would you butt out? This is my story.

i already allocated 2 gigs of ram to it (dont have more :D), seems to make no difference except when using an f* ton of command blocks, it reduces the risk of running out of ram, and sudden severe stutter as soon as you run out of ram.

recently, on my friends side, it got better for no apparent reason, it seems to be a computer side issue then.

but still worse than in 1.7 he,d rather stay on 1.7

but on my side it,s just the 1.9 snapshots that are absolute "Schèiße" right now, even though mojang tells us that they made improvements in those snapshots.

shuuuuure mojang. whatever.

I went from 5-10 FPS to over 100 and my monitor framerate is something like 30 or 60 (it's a really old computer and I can't tell the difference between 30 and 100 FPS, tested it by reducing my MaxFPS setting and having F3 open, it dropped from about 100 to about 30 with no noticeable difference). Even after they released a snapshot with a huge performance hit I was still getting 80 FPS on FANCY GRAPHICS.

MY COMPUTER HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE FANCY GRAPHICS SINCE 1.3.

I'm happy with the snapshots, and if you aren't, Optifine's coming out soon after the official 1.9.0 release.

Hey guys I'm having a little annoying problem with conquest

I love the texture pack, but I get the writing in the trees saying I didn't install optifine, when I have

I put the optifine in my mods folder (since I have forge, so I'm not using the optifine version) but I still get the writing in the trees and it's very annoying

What do I do to make the writing in the trees go away?

Go to Options -> Video Settings -> Quality and turn Connected Textures to "fast" (I haven't seen a difference between fast and fancy but I also don't don't have a PC that can handle fancy graphics :P)

I have a question, I try and unleash the dog, but It won't unleash? Am I supposed to click something instead of right or left click?

Shift-right click (crouch-use)
