Minecraft developer pushes out update to ‘hopefully fix’ framerate problems on PC

Minecraft may have antiquated-looking visuals, but some people are finding out this doesn’t guarantee a solid framerate.

Developer Mojang says it is aware that some people are experiencing issues with lower-than-usual framerates for Minecraft on PC. One of the recent incremental updates (which Mojang calls Snapshots) for the block-building phenomenon introduced a problem with its optimization, and this manifests in the game by causing stuttering, huge dips in frames-per-second, and block lag (where you can’t destroy a placed block due to desyncing issues). Now, the Microsoft-owned studio is working to fix the problem.
