    On my island, there are certain areas where my frames drop. I accept those areas around mobs, but these drops in my frames happen when I break blocks as well.

    My machine is nowhere near powerful, so I accept lower frames and all, but this has gotten to be such a problem that skyblock is nearly unplayable for me.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    me and @thatepictntguy have tested this, but since 1.8 Leaves have caused massive lag, I am unsure why, but if you do have leaves around there that could be the cause

    I do have trees spread out over my island. How do leaves contribute to a frame drop though?

    Me and TNT aren't sure, but we tested multiple blocks, and then went to an empty area, and the leaves seem the somehow cause frame shift. Go to an empty part and then get a bunch of leaves in the other, and test if it happens to you.

    I don't need to. I've noticed that my frames drop around my tree areas compared to my non tree areas.

    Maybe it has to do with how intricate the leaves are compared to other textures?

    I've tried OCD craft (Less laggy texture pack), and it still causes quite a bit of lag.

    Maybe it has to do with how the game calculates what it needs to display in each frame? I mean the code is hardly optimized, after all that's why we all need optifine..

    This conversation is already too much for me to handle this early in the day.

    Sorry, but the casual substitution of 'lag' for 'drop in frames' is bothering me. Just thought I would point that out.

    Do we have any people who are good at reading code? That would make my day =)

    Also, if you have a good computer it won't feel like it affects.
