FPS drop caused by enchanted items being equipped or looked at in a GUI

Short description: There is a visible drop in FPS when holding, having enchanted items equipped, or looking at a GUI, such as a chest, with enchanted items stored. Seems to be around a 40% drop.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Launch Minecraft Java Edition on version 26.2.
2. Place a chest and populate it with a set of unenchanted netherite armor/tools, shield, mace, and trident.
3. Open the chest and observe baseline FPS on the F3 screen .
4. Replace all items in the chest with identical gear containing Unbreaking III, or any other enchantment.
5. Open the chest again and observe the FPS drop.
6. Perform the same comparison, but with the items equipped/in the hotbar

Expected result: The enchanted items should be displayed and used with no drop in FPS

Actual result: Displaying or using the enchanted items results in a massive drop in FPS

Notes:
A. Unlike other bug reports, this is completely unaffected by glint. As you can see, both glint speed and strength are set to β€œOff” in settings. Despite this, you can see a clear FPS drop.
B. Screenshots 1 (386 FPS) & 3 (318 FPS) have the enchanted items, screenshots 2 (556 FPS) & 4 (575 FPS) have the unenchanted items. I formatted it this way so you can see it is not armor as a whole, and can easily compare enchanted vs unenchanted in each situation.

Edit: Tested on Intel i5-12600kf and 3060, same issue occurred.

Environment

Windows 11, AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

  • Here is the youtube link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSNNuTDynbA. You can clearly see a visible drop both when viewing the chest with enchanted items and when they’re in my inventory.

  • No, there are zero add-ons and zero resource packs. This is a clean vanilla install.

  • No, all overlays are disabled. The only screen recorder is obs, and was only open for the video provided. The original post and screenshots had no screen recorders or overlays active, and had the same results.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
