Can you force minecraft to use multiple CPU cores?

It is multithreaded. Just not in the way people expect. If you want it to divide up the load evenly across all cores, no that's not how it works. It has a main game loop and many less intensive processes that run in separate threads that is indeed spread across multiple cores. This is why chunk loading can get stuck, yet you can move. Mobs can get stuck, liquids freeze but you can still interact with the environment, because it is multithreaded.
