GPU usage in latest snapshot significantly higher than before, causing lag or crash for some users

What are your system specs (CPU, graphics card...)?

2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB

I know, my computer is getting a bit old haha, but it's still a bit interesting to see such a big difference between two snapshots

Okay, that's still in the supported hardware range though, I think. There were a bunch of rendering changes in the last snapshot, so that's probably why it got so much worse.

you are lucky, im getting literally 10-11fps in 20w22a 😞

I can confirm the significant increase in GPU usage, about 10% in 20w21a compared to 80% in 20w22a.

I went from 30 fps to like 1-2 fps, my specs are:

Intel Core i5-4300U CPU @1.90 GHz

4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics Family

Is this still within the supported hardware range?

What I want to know is how were you getting 120fps before?! I have a brand new Mac and I rarely get above 40fps, and this was on previous snapshot as well.

Gavin, I don't know, I usually turn some settings to fast, but not render distance or some other small ones. I've never tried texture packs or shaders on this computer. 

I've never built anything big so I don't how it would perform with a lot of objects and blocks around. 

Amplified gamemode doesn't give me issues though.

My FPS is pretty stable at 120. 

Same problem, but also noticed that usage jumps from average 80% to 100% between 14 and 15 chunks of render distance

Junhani, I think I figured it out. I'm running at almost 4K resolution and have Vsync, which is probably my source of lower fps. Updating snapshots did not have an effect for performance for me however.

Can confirm this issue on macOS Mojave with 4 GB RAM

Same, I get around 3 fps in 20w22a but I was getting around 30-60 frames per second in 20w21a. Please, Mojang Studios I want a good fps.

My specs are : Intel core i3-2120 3.3Ghz, Intel HD graphics and 2 gb of ram allocated to Minecraft.

i had 20-30 fps in 20w21 which was good enough for me but as soon as i got to the latest i now got 3 or even lower, mojang please fix this

also i have 8 GB of ram and an ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics just in case someone asks

Same problem. I have max 9 fps. They have to fix this either today or tomorrow. This is a serious bug which may be devastating for some users especially for hardcore players. I had up to 70 fps at normal last snapshot but never had this low normally.

Do you happen to have discord or saomething? we can talk about this and another issue that i have but a mod said i didnt provide enough information, im just hoping at least for an answer

Same problem for me. I'm getting around 8 fps in 20w22a. I was getting around 60 with 20w21. Now my game play is so laggy I simply can't play. MAC - Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3, Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB.  ...How soon can this be fix?

Yesss!! Before on 20w21a I was getting around 120-140 fps, now on 20w22a I'm getting 40-60 fps and a some weird lag input, my pc is old, and I hope they fix it, I don't have the money to upgrade my pc now

i feel you buddy, i upgraded a year ago, i cannot do anymore upgrades due to my mum not getting any money or just saying no about it, god i hope mojang fix this aswell as a nether related issue that i have, you can check it if you want

I had about 40 fps in 20w21a, which is enough and good for me. Now my average framerate is about 18. It isn't fun to play, please do something about this. Not every Minecraft player has a very strong PC.

My processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60 GHz, 1800MHz

Same issue for me with a GT705 GPU

Seeing GPU power consumption and utilization doubled between 20w22a and the previous snapshot on my workstation machine. My game's overall frame rate has not changed due to a CPU bottleneck caused by the number of chunk draw calls, but the GPU is much more busy when playing in fullscreen (1080p) than before. I'm not locked to v-sync here despite the misleading frame rates.

It looks like the culprit of this massive increase in GPU usage comes down to the new framebuffer blending technique used to resolve some translucency issues between render layers (i.e. items behind fluids). I've made a small resource patch which applies some optimizations to the shader in question in order to help reduce GPU usage. Primarily, it eliminates the secondary indexing table used to sort the fragments on each frame buffer and uses a faster insertion sort algorithm. The blend code itself accounts for a very small amount of the overall shader's execution time.

On my machine, this patch (in a different scene) makes a considerable improvement to GPU utilization at a render distance of 16 chunks and brings it much closer to 20w21a.

GPU stats with attached resource pack

                    GPU TDP     GPU Utilization   Frame rate
20w11a (Vanilla)    54W         38%               123fps
20w22a (Vanilla)    66W         95%               100fps
20w22a (w/ Patch)   54W         45%               118fps

I've uploaded a resource pack to this issue with the optimized shader code that can be used to help improve performance on affected machines, but it does not fully eliminate the added overhead of this new render pass.

you basically say that its something that wont be fixed???

I am having this issue as well. I have an old i5-3550, Intel HD 2500 and 8gb ram. On 20w21a with low gfx settings (render distance still 12) I get on average 30 fps and the game has been perfectly playable. This snapshot I get 7-8 fps and chunk rendering is glacial.

Same issue on my  machine.

Intel Core I5 660 @ 3,3Ghz
8Gb 1333Mhz DDR3 Ram
AMD Radeon HD6450 - 2Gb

From 50-60 FPS in snapshot 20w21a to 8-10FPS in this (20w22a) snapshot

@unknown your resource pack made my game run like crap.. With your pack instead of locked 20FPS i get like below 10FPS ..

Might be patch for someone with a bit more powerful VCard but for me .. it does nothing positive ..

Same problem.  Performed well in previous snapshot, but frame rate in 20w22a is unplayable on my son's older laptop:

Before applying the shader fix you've provided: 140~ FPS
After: 200~ FPS

I am using a GTX 1050 Ti on a laptop.

I have Intel UHD Graphics 617 and the game is barely playable for me.

i say we need perfomance improvements in the next update

intel iris 6200, imac mid 2015, when playing on 1080p im usually around 150 170 fps, im down to 20 now.

I'm experiencing this on a 2017 15 inch MacBook Pro, with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 and a Radeon Pro 560 (4 GB VRAM). Mac in particular is likely to be hit hard due to weird 2x resolution scaling on retina displays, which Minecraft doesn't account for causing Minecraft to render at higher resolutions, which exasperates this bug.

Same for me, with an iMac from 2013. The game is basically umplayable. Now I have to go back to 20w21a with a world I just opened in 20w22a. I hope it won't suffer corruption.

If anyone has a workaround solution, please reply to this comment.

I added an alternative patched resource pack to the one that JellySquid posted here. For the most part they're the same, however some people have reported that this one performs a lot better (on my computer, they're equivalent). Could be a false positive, but I hope it's useful to try anyway! 🙂

Same issue for me on the default game with no resource packs. I notice significant spikes in frame times. Nothing pops out on the debug pie.

still unplayable even with the alt, i guess i have to hope that Mojang fix this ASAP

How long does it take for Mojang to fix something like this? A couple of days? Or will we be waiting until the next Snapshot release?  Will it even be fixed with the next release? I've never had an issue with minecraft before and I'm not sure what to plan for? Anyone have any experience with issues and their resolution time?

Same performance Drop for me on a Mid 2015 MacBook Pro with Intel Iris 5100 16GB Intel i7 2.2Ghz 16GB RAM. I had constant 30fps with 14 chunks render distance. Now I can barely play with 6 chunks all video settings set to lowest possible quality / fastest option available. Please undo the experimental render changes or fix them for the 1.16 release or I will be a very sad person.

@JustBoyann Can you try the updated resource pack? It should perform better on Intel graphics cards.

@DieselDorky16 There is a resource pack included as an attachment

which might help you. Any feedback with it would be useful.

@JellySquid  It performs pretty well.. My performance still isnt as before this update but its playable this time..

@JellySquid, the Shader Patch r2 makes the game pretty playable between 25-55 FPS on my side, if you have another patch let me know.

Hey @JellySquid, tried the resource pack on both my usual single player save and a brand new world, minor improvement in both put still unplayable (around 10-12 fps compared to 6-8 without it).

I have an early 2014 macbook air with intel i5 1,4ghz, an Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB graphic card and 4gb ram, which usually, with a 12 chunks render distance, allow for around 30-40 fps...

EDIT:
restarting my pc solved (partially) the problem, giving me, with the resource pack, around 20-25 fps, good job!
However my water/glass/reflection in general textures are a bit wonky now, showing white "cloud-like boxes" that move with my crosshair...

Same here. 

In snapshot 20w21a like 60-70 FPS

In snapshot 20w22a like 10 FPS...

My specs:

Acer Aspire ES1-571

intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz

Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400

8 GB RAM

in Windows 10

Literally unplayable, i hope this change is fixed or removed...

Exactly, my game just froze. It can't be though, I usually get 60 fps, and all there is like 90 villagers, that's all. Ok, maybe some illagers and iron golems, but that's it. An underground village. This never happened in 20w21a.

Can confirm, during 20w21a I was getting 60 fps. Now I get 10 fps and if lucky 15 fps.

Same issue here. Nvidia Quadro M2200 tested on both Win10 and Ubuntu 18.04. Before, 50-60 fps at minimum, now 20fps at best.

@PitNox The issue you describe is caused by MC-186064 which is another bug with vanilla's new framebuffer blend code. This was incorrect, it was caused by a sporadic bug in my shader code and has since been fixed.

I have just tried the resource pack fix that is attached to this issues on my Intel Iris 5100 GPU and it is helping a ton. It even is running better than Vanilla 20w21a before. Phew, thats great.

Looks like I accidentally introduced a sorting bug which affects the alt and r2 version. I hope that this is not the cause of the performance gains from r2 over r1. I've attached a new file that fixes this sorting bug, and makes some additional optimization (performing the insertion sort as layers are added to the array; removes need for an additional loop)

If you experienced better performance in r2 over r1, it'd be greatly appreciate to test this r3 version! 🙂

@gegy1000 solved both framerate and layering issues for me, amazing job!

Same here. my graphics, Radeon Pro 555X 2 GB, goes up to 100% when playing 20w22a. Although  don't experience any lag on lower render distances, it starts lagging when I turn the render distance up.

Prior to 20w22a  FPS rate 40-50 ..... as of 20w22a  FPS rate.... 2-4 👎    Intel i5-2400 @3.1G  Intel HD Graphics 200 3.1.0 - build 9.17.10.4459

FPS dropped to 5-6 since 20w22a. Intel i5-3210M @2.5GHz Intel HD Graphics 4000. Previous snapshot ran perfectly on 40 FPS.

IMPORTANT: I've experienced PC reboots and I believe it is because of this bug. My computer works completely fine and I've never experienced a reboot like this from any program or GPU issue. Sometimes when I open up this latest snapshot my PC will reboot. I believe Minecraft 20w22a is the cause because it only happens right after I launch 20w22a, and whenever my PC starts back up I'm logged out of my accounts in the launcher as well as my launcher profiles are reset.

This has never happened before and only does it after I launch. Doesn't happen every time, but I kept closing and reopening and it happened. I recorded it and if the clip needs uploading I can do that.

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980.

Using the pack provided by gegy1000 improved my fps and GPU usage, but my GPU usage was still much higher than normal. Without the pack in 20w22a GPU usage was always at 90%+ and FPS around 250. With the pack my fps increased to around 500 with GPU usage around 60-70 with spikes up to 90+. My normal GPU usage in 20w21a is around 30 to 40% with FPS around 600-800.

The lag is significantly different. I used a laptop to play Minecraft which was a lot better than this...

Laptop specs:

CPU: Intel i3-6100U

GPU: Intel HD 520 (Mobile Skylake)

RAM: 6GB DDR3

And now I am using a desktop which (said by User benchmark) is a lot better than the laptop

Desktop specs:

CPU: Intel I5-7400

GPU: NVIDIA Geforce 750 TI

RAM: 8GB DDR4

Please fix this bug! I really don't like 10 fps!

Side note: Its not all the time it is little blips at a time that drop down to 5-10 fps if I'm walking or flying or breaking a block.

with intel graphics 4000, fps falls to 6 or 7..... impossible to use the game .....

please , fix it !!

is this resolved or? I'm not familiar with being on here to see what the bugs are. the main problem I have is the lag which is said to be resolved but isn't for me. no idea what is happening, what has happened, or what's going to happen. 

@JellySquid and @gegy1000 patch r3 improved my fps and my experience! You've saved my weekend. Thank you! 🙂

I can totally picture developers at Mojang looking away from this critical issue when it popped up on a Friday evening when they were about to close their computers and go home for the weekend. 😃

I've never used a patch before, how does it work? Is it better to wait till Mojang fixes this issue? How does a patch effect later Snapshot updates?

The "patch" that was made by @unknown and @unknown is just a resource pack that you can install just like any other resource pack. Here's a tutorial: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Loading_a_resource_pack

This is the latest version of the resource pack:

I have not tested the resource pack myself and there are no guarantees from the mod team or Mojang that it works, but many people in this ticket have confirmed that it improves the game's performance significantly in this snapshot.

Please note that since the rendering changes are experimental and may be changed or removed altogether in future snapshots, the resource pack patch may stop working in future snapshots.

Edit: I have now tested the resource pack myself and it seems to improve the performance quite a bit. It doesn't make too much of a difference for me though since I've already got a good mid-tier graphics card and vanilla is running pretty smoothly even without the patch.

Thank you [Mod] violine101 so much for comment!

Also this resource pack is the same minecraft but boost your fps!

This resource pack help me a lot from 10-20 fps to 40-50!

I literally have 1-2 fps at all times while playing this snapshot, I'm not even exaggerating, my f3 screen actually says 1 fps or 2 fps at all times. I hope that a 20w22b comes out today to fix this.

I really appreciate the efforts by @unknown and @unknown with their resource pack. I gave it a try, following the instructions posted by @unknown . My fps went from 8 to 13 with with an allocation 16 spike. My game play is still too laggy to play. It's crazy frustrating and I really miss how smooth things ran with 20w21a. I'm still hoping Mojang will official correct this issue. Based on the comments I guess I'll have to wait till the next Snapshot update to see if they fix it. What if they don't?

I've created a GitHub repository to manage future releases of the shader code optimization resource pack in order to avoid additional clutter on this thread. Any issues caused by it should be reported on its respective issue tracker. I've just published the r3 pack attached to this issue as version 1.1.1 which you can now download from here.

For Mojangsters looking at this issue: I have explicitly licensed the shader code here (with permission from @gegy1000 for their additional fixes) under the CC0 Public Domain license. Feel free to use what's there.

The resource pack got my FPS back up to 30, but the CPUs and GPU were still close to 100°C (13" MacBook Pro 2019), and I don't want to risk causing damage.  Hope it gets fixed soon!

Laptop computer, Windows 10
Intel(R) HD Graphics 620
CPU: 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz according to a debug crash report

20w20b gets ~10 FPS when chunks are generating and 30 ± 10 FPS when the world is fully loaded.
20w22a gets ~10 FPS when (already generated) chunks are loading and 20 ± 10 FPS otherwise, with or without the resource pack.
TL:Doctor The resource pack doesn't help me, but my FPS is already so low that the difference between versions is nearly within the margin of error.

I got really scared since my GPU usage spiked from 30/40% since I had my fps looked at 60 down to like 40 with 100% GPU usage.

My specs:

i7 second-gen

gtx 560m (2gb VRAM)

16gb ram

and the game runs from a Samsung Evo SSD

I hope this gets resolved.

I do have to admit frames are more stable next to my storage system (it has li 100+ item frames) dropping only 10 fps when next to it and cpu usage seemed to go down so if the problem gets addressed would be great since Minecraft doesn't seem to need more GPU power than GTAV...

Even with the resource pack its way too unplayable, i really just want the next snapshot to remove the experimental features or whatever if they are really the cause. 😞

I'm on a 2018 Mac mini with a fast-ish 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB RAM and 20w22a is crazy laggy compared to happily playable a snapshot or two ago.  My mini feels like a hot-plate after playing 20w22a.  I don't install resource packs or mods, so hopefully this issue will get worked out.

it doesnt matter even if you put a resource pack, i tested it and even on default isnt any better

On my macOS it is max 9 fps and least 3 fps but on my Windows 10 it is max 6 fps and least 0 fps.

I have found out that not doing it in full screen increases the fps, but the bigger you make the screen, the lower your fps will be. It was running really smoothly, but that was only because the screen was really small.

My sons laptop is getting about 1-2 fps trying to play on our snapshot server.

System Specs:

Intel Core i5-3230M @ 2.60GHz

8GB Ram

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

Adding the shader resource pack increased the fps from 3-5 to 14-16 and presented a mostly black screen. 

This error also occurred: 
04:06:25.407
Could not find uniform named InSize in the specified shader program.
Turning off the clouds resolved the cloud issue.
 
 
 

Did some further testing on an Intel UHD 630 GPU and managed to make some fairly significant optimisation there. It doesn't seem to have a broad improvement for all GPUs, but definitely an improvement in some cases.

I've attached another resource pack which might be worth trying if you're using an Intel GPU:

I play Minecraft Java Edition in my computer, which has Windows 10 64-bit as OS, an Intel Core i5-8265U as CPU, 8GB RAM and a Intel UHD Graphics 620 as GPU. In snapshot 20w21a the framerate was stable around 30 or 35 fps. In the latest snapshot, 20w22a, the framerate is always around 12 and 21 fps and it lag every while, making the game unplayable. To have a decent framerate, I must set the render distance 2 chunks and minimum graphics. In older snapshots, I used maximum graphics and 16 chunks render distance. I don't use any resource pack

@unknown, I removed your screenshot as it has nothing todo with the bug itself. It is misleading others, maybe even the developers as they might think that what can be seen there is caused by the bug described in this ticket. If you want to show something about the attached resource pack, please get in touch with the creator directly as it is off-topic here.

I've also lost a lot of FPS with 20w22a. Here are the screenshots of F3 in 20w21a, 20w22a and 20w22a with the recommended resource pack (which helps a tiny bit)
My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

can't Mojang just squeeze out an update focused on this specific issue, im sorry if this sounds dumb but i dont want my Minecraft days to be all over because of this specific issue

@unknown, use the latest stable version which is 1.15.2. Snapshots are experimental development versions which are not stable and can be full of bugs. These are for testing only.

I tested with 10,000 glass blocks in a newly generated world in 20w22a, and with or without the blocks, the game ran at around 16 mspt, and 30 fps, so glass isn't a solo lag causer.

(I chose glass because I heard that glass had some changes.)

can confirm it ussualy getting 50-70 FPS at 1080p 12 Chunks but now im always getting 20-25FPS the exeptions are windowed default resolution and full screen 240p. away from that there is only 20-25FPS in any resolution both windowed and full screen if it helps here are my specs

CPU:Intel Celeron G1820 2.70Ghz

GPU:Nvidia GeForce GT 730 2GB

Should we expect this issue to be resolved? I used to be able to play the game with a relatively alright computer... Is this how demanding will the game be from now on, in terms of performance, or should I hope I'll be able to play again?

@unknown: At this moment, we do not know - however, so far, there have not been any announcements about changing system requirements for 1.16, and there are many people experiencing this to an unplayable degree whose system does meet those (though many users that do complain about the unplayability do not meet the requirements). That is all the information we have at this moment however.

I can also confirm that this is causing a very large FPS decrease on my machine as well.

Before 20w22a, I was able to run Minecraft fullscreen at 4k 60FPS (32 chunk render distance). Now, I'm only able to run the game at 30 FPS. Decreasing the render distance or adjusting any other performance settings doesn't improve (or degrade) the FPS at all.

I used the above resource pack and was able to gain an additional 10FPS, however, this is still a far cry from the previous performance before this snapshot.

It would be great if this was addressed in the next patch please!

Thank you!

In 20w21a, i had normal frames (40-60), but in the latest, it dropped to only four frames and was almost unplayable. The resolution shouldnt be an addon pack, but a change to the change in 22a.

@unknown's resource pack reduces my GPU usage to 67% of what it was before applying it.  Not noticed any downsides to it.  geforce 2060 super

If a new or similar issue related to this appears in the next snapshot, please open a new bug that highlights the specific issue.

Just wanted to put it in writing that this bug was marked resolved 10 hours ago.  I don't see it specifically mentioned in the comments so I wanted to mention it.  I see a lot of people asking if it'll be fixed in the next release and since there are a lot of people running the snapshot, I think it's a fair question to ask.  Adrian, is it safe to assume this fix will land on the next snapshot?  I was going to offer up some specific details about the various machines (some brand new Macs) that this occurs on but I'd rather hold off if it's purported as fixed.

@Tres Finocchiaro yes, it is. "Future versions - 1.x+" means that the issue will be fixed in the next test version

What Mojang needs to do in this update is to make the Graphics processing unit boost, 

I am sick and tired of normal Minecraft sometimes not boosting my graphics card. When my target fps is 144 a 1060M should be able to handle Minecraft at over 144 FPS. Furthermore, the GPU is stuck at its base clock of 1404Mhz, however, in this snapshot, I am finally seeing my graphics card go to 1860MHz. I do think this is a bit too high as the temps of my GPU hit 74c. If Mojang studios can solve this by reducing usage but have the PL1 triggered on the GPU then I would be happy.

A similar case appears with my desktop where the FPS gets tanked by the GPU going up and down because it's not doing enough. RTX 2070 sometimes struggles to handle 144 because the GPU fails to boost. It seems that the single-core Minecraft uses triggers AVX 2, 512 instructions which lowers the CPU clock, therefore, reducing performance because the GPU is being choked by the single-core low clock speed or IPC 

My system is an i9-7900X @4.8GHz with all clocks stable and voltage set to the historic binning statistics which suggests correct voltages 

My graphics card is not faulty as a Founders edition has better quality silicon and to add to that other games seem to run fine. 

To add to that both of my devices have the latest windows updates and the latest Nvidia drivers from the 446.14

And no it is not overheating all temperatures are below the TJ max by at max 20 centigrade

This update has made so the GPU is being used more, therefore, increasing FPS for some who have high-end systems that need the graphics card to boost.

I honestly beg the developers to sort this performance issue out and make the GPU do something rather than failing to hit FPS targets because I  bought an expensive PC to work to my requirements (not what I want ) I invest in the future and this does not seem to follow. Once you get the GPU problem sorted then I will be happy, but not only me but thousands of people that know Minecraft runs incredibly slow especially on older systems. This upgrade in performance will provide people with older dedicated GPU's listed in your recommended requirements for this game to run faster. I really don't think anyone has thought of this way  before. 

@Josh Wal
The reason your GPU isn't doing much in mc is due to Minecraft's rendering being CPU bound. This mean your GPU is idling a lot while waiting for the CPU to do its thing before it can start. 20w22a added a shader that wasn't optimized yet, which meant the GPU had to do a lot more to get that frame finished which is why your GPU is heating up quite a bit.

Thank you Mojang for the correction I am very happy 😃 this bug problem I did not like 😃 in snapshot 20w22a I love mojang ❤️

(From MC-186075) Confirmed in 1.16.2 pre1.

@Mish Rodic you use "Fabulous" graphic?

Hi I already have a new computer so I have graphics on Fabulous is so I had a low pc XD and nvidia gt 9500 I only have amd radoen r9 270 thank you for the answer 😃
