Why i cant play minecraft at 32 chunks

[Karlo Mehmetovic]

CPU:i5 4590
GPU:r7 360
ram:8gb

What do i need to change to play minecraft at 32 chunks?
Is it cuz of ram or?

Well, it sounds weird but Minecraft is a really CPU intensive game, even my i7 4790K struggles with it. My friend had the same CPU as you and he could get there only when he got himself an i7 4770K

I just tried it in my SSP world. I have i7-4790k, GTX 970, 16GB RAM @ 1440p and I only get around 30 FPS.

I was monitoring CPU and GPU use, it only ever used about 1.5GB of VRAM and just under 1GB of RAM.

I am thinking it is a game limitation, no single core is pegged at 100%. At 24 chunk view distance I get 100 - 144 (i use 144hz gsync).

It is intended to be played at 16. People seem to underestimate Minecraft thinking it isn't demanding by the graphics. It is more CPU bound though.

Why you'd want to have your chunk loading up to 32 chunks, I don't know. Seems pointless to me, I only ever play with 16 being loaded. Chunk generation/loading is done by the CPU, you'd need a more powerful processor to get up that high. Why do you feel you need to play with 32 chunks loaded?

It can use the amount of RAM you want it to, but there is no reason to give it over 2GB, even when running mods. The only real limit is that it can use only 1 core (thread), and the only solution is to get OptiFine.

There is Fastcraft as well. Not sure it has been updated for vanilla 1.9.2. It is epic for modded MC, removes all those little stutters and random FPS drops.

Never tried fastcraft, but OptiFine makes MC look better and also speeds it up, but as far as I understood it's meant for weak PCs while OptiFine is for far distance optimisation.
